 * I uploaded this plugin, and activated it from my plugins page. But when I try
   to post or edit, I get this error:
    **** Warning: Cannot modify header information–
   headers already sent by (output started at /home2/captive/public_html/blog/wp-
   content/plugins/autoclose.php:27) in /home2/captive/public_html/blog/wp-admin/
   post.php on line 947 WordPress 1.2.1 �? Support Forums **** If I deactivate
   the plugin, everything works fine. Any ideas how to fix this so I can use the
   plugin?

 * how long should it take before the comments actually become closed? I installed
   this… ran into the whitespace error, corrected that… but don’t see any changes…
   I went back and checked my old posts and the comments were still open… I then
   added a new post for today, published it, and then went back and checked the 
   old posts and the comments were still open.

 * I’m having the same error message. I checked for whitespace but it didn’t fix
   my problem. Any other ideas??

 * I had this same problem and it was whitespace. Check to make sure the last line
   of the plugin is “?>” and not “?> “….
