Pluggable.php Header Errors

    Hi there!

    I’m getting an error in pluggable.php on line 1178 when submitting a contact form. (The built in Feedback / Contact Form through WordPress Admin Panel)
    header("Location: $location", true, $status);

    I commented out the above line like so
    //header("Location: $location", true, $status);

    I now no longer get an error, but I don’t get redirected.
    I’m assuming it’s cause of the commented out section, but was wondering if anyone had any insight on how I could fix it, or what the solution is.

    Thanks in advanced

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    If neither of those work, would you please quote the full error?

    Hi James.

    Seems like there is no “default” feedback / Contact Form. That’s on me.

    I disabled everything, and routed the problem down to the Jetpack plugin v. 3.3.2.

    The error I still get is the following.

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/USER/public_html/blog/index.php:2) in /home2/USER/public_html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178

    Line 1178 of pluggable.php is

    header("Location: $location", true, $status);

    Changing the theme to Twenty Fifteen does not solve the error.

    Actually, that means you have unexpected whitespace (either a space or an entire line) on line 2 of the index.php file. See this guide for more info.

    Alternatively, replacing the file with one from a fresh download may resolve the issue.

    Hi James,

    That seemed to of worked.
    The index.php had a blank line at the top of it.

    Could this be a problem with this version of WP? or just an isolated incident.

    Thanks again!!

    Just an isolated incident, otherwise we’d have over 23 million reports of it. ??
