# Cannot modify header information ERROR

 * Regarding a site I built and recently updated ([http://www.curtbulloch.com/](http://www.curtbulloch.com/))
   I now am having trouble with. Sometimes I can not access the site at all without
   putting in the “www” and I also can’t login to the admin side.
 * I get the following error:
 * > Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output
   > started at /home/curtbull/public_html/wp-content/themes/business-lite/core/
   > actions/footer-actions.php:1) in /home/curtbull/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.
   > php on line 876
 * Anybody know why? All I did was update the theme and I did remove the following
   footer code from the footer-actions.php file:
    `<a href="http://cyberchimps.com/"
   target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/
   achimps.png" alt="credit" /></a>`
 * Appreciate any help

 * You may have inadvertently added space to the top of that file:

 * If you can’t login, you’ll need to use FTP to access the site and deactivate 
   that theme – it should then default to the default WP theme and allow you to 
   login again. Then fix the file in question.

 * Are you using a child theme for these changes to theme files? It’s never recommended
   to modify theme files directly…

 * Thanks for your help WPyogi. I actually replaced the footer-action.php file with
   a fresh copy and that did the trick. Somehow when I tried to remove the CyberChimps
   link from the footer it caused the problem.
 * Do you have any idea how I can safely remove that without causing such a ruckus?

 * I’d suggest checking around and/or asking on the developers website:

 * In the following directory
    /wp-content/themes/business-lite/core/actions
 * change the link at the very bottom of the footer-actions.php file
 * in the section starting with
    function business_secondary_footer_credit() { ?
   > <div id=”credit” class=”six columns”>
