2,592 PointsError creating page in WP
Hi, I am following this video () and when I create a new page, I get this error from WordPress:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ../../bootstrap-to-wp/wp-content/themes/bootstrap-to-wp/functions.php:44) in ../../bootstrap-to-wp/wp-admin/post.php on line 233
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at../../bootstrap-to-wp/wp-content/themes/bootstrap-to-wp/functions.php:44) in ../../bootstrap-to-wp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178
line 233 on post.php:
// Session cookie flag that the post was saved
if ( isset( $_COOKIE['wp-saving-post'] ) && $_COOKIE['wp-saving-post'] === $post_id . '-check' ) {
setcookie( 'wp-saving-post', $post_id . '-saved', time() + DAY_IN_SECONDS );
}
line 1178 on pluggable.php:
$location = wp_sanitize_redirect($location);
if ( !$is_IIS && php_sapi_name() != 'cgi-fcgi' )
status_header($status); // This causes problems on IIS and some FastCGI setups
header("Location: $location", true, $status);
return true;
}
...¿Do you know why??
Thanks!

You may have to check any other php files you have edited.
I don't know what text editor you are using, but do NOT use Windows Notepad or Word for editing. However, if you are using Windows Notepad, always be sure that when doing 'Save As' you have encoding set to UTF-8 and not ANSI.

2,592 PointsHi, Sean it is happening again! When I create a new page, the browser takes me to a blank page ... (http://localhost/website/wp-admin/post.php)... then I have to change the url in the browser in order to get to WP admin area.
Any idea why is this happening?
Thanks!

2,592 PointsThis is the functions.php:
<?php

wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );
function theme_js() {
global $wp_scripts;
wp_register_script( 'html5_shiv', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js', '', '', false );
wp_register_script( 'respond_js', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.4.2/respond.min.js', '', '', false );
$wp_scripts->add_data( 'html5_shiv', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
$wp_scripts->add_data( 'respond_js', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'ie10viewport_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/ie10-viewport-bug-workaround.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
//IE10 viewport hack for Surface/desktop Windows 8 bug
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js' );
//add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
function register_theme_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(

28,690 PointsHave you checked in wp-config.php for whitespace before the opening php tag and after the closing php tag?
Have you entered in the keys and salts -
define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');
define('NONCE_SALT', 'put your unique phrase here');

2,592 PointsIt happened creating a new page from the admin.
Yeah! it happened because of whitespace after the closing php tag, on the funtions.php file.
Now lines are deleted and working. Thanks!!!!
