 * Hi, I have had my website on wordpress for about 5 monthes now with no issues
   when just the other day when I tried to view my site this error message comes
   up:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home1/signaty4/public_html/index.php(1) : eval()’d code:37) in /home1/signaty4/
   public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897
 * When I go into admin, and I update wordpress it goes away for about an hour and
   the site works, but then it always goes back to that error. Can someone help?
 * Chris

 * “Headers already sent” error is often caused by having white space before or 
   after the opening and closing PHP tags (<?php . . . ?>).
 * Check any files you may have opened recently and check index.php(1).

 * What exactly should I be checking for? Sry, I’m brand new to playing with code.
 * Thanks,

 * You are looking for a _space_ before `<?php`and or after `?>`
 * Look at the file index.php(1) and any other file you may have opened recently
