 * I cannot access the admin area of wordpress any more after a modification on 
   my database table wp_options on the option siteurl and home. I have changed it
   back on the normal settings it was before and I can see the website I have build
   so far with some errors though, but can not access the admin area. I have some
   errors that dont know what they mean (new wordpress user). When I check the line
   in the file where the error is, its cookies settings.
 * !!You have to make changes in your wp_options table, you need to change two entries:
   option id 1 – siteurl – change localhost to [http://<your](http://<your) local
   ip>; option id 2 – home – change localhost to [http://<your](http://<your) local
   ip> !!
 * This is the settings I changed into my database originally and when I saw its
   not working I panicked and changed it back as it was but cant access the admin
   area. Any help guys much appreciated.
 * Error messages in wp-login screen:
 * Warning: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected 
   in C:\xampp\htdocs\name\wp-login.php on line 434 and 436
 * Warning: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected 
   in C:\xampp\htdocs\name\wp-includes\pluggable.php on line 948 – 969

 * I believe you have something wrong with your URL.
