# functions error?

 * I am receiving the following error when attempting to upload images. I also cannot
   remove a couple plug ins I installed. I think this has something to do with it
   all. Any assistance would be appreciated.
 * `Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output 
   started at /home/wp-content/themes/notepad/functions.php:38) in /wp-admin/async-
   upload.php on line 35 1102`

 * You modified something in your functions.php file that is causing it to get an
   error.

 * Correct.
 * Here is my function.php code. Any idea what is wrong?
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
           register_sidebars(2, array(
               'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="w-block dbx-box %2$s">',
               'after_widget' => '</div></div>',
               'before_title' => '<h2>',
               'after_title' => '</h2><div class="widget-entry">',
           ));
       ?><?php wp_footer(); ?>
       <?php function widget_search() {
       ?><?php
       }
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
           register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_search');
       ?>
       <script type="text/javascript">
       (function() {
           window.PinIt = window.PinIt || { loaded:false };
           if (window.PinIt.loaded) return;
           window.PinIt.loaded = true;
           function async_load(){
               var s = document.createElement("script");
               s.type = "text/javascript";
               s.async = true;
               s.src = "http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js";
               var x = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
               x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
           }
           if (window.attachEvent)
               window.attachEvent("onload", async_load);
           else
               window.addEventListener("load", async_load, false);
       })();
       </script>
       ```

 * It’s possible you left extra space at the end of your file and that’s causing
   the error.

 * I have checked that. There are no extra spaces at the end.

 * oh just found it it’s the quotations you need to escape it with \ if its within
   php code
 * so its going to look something like
 * <div id=\”%1$s\” class=\”w-block dbx-box %2$s\”>’,
 * <div class=\”widget-entry\”>
 * also I’m not quite sure, but I don’t remember <?php wp_footer(); ?> belonging
   in functions.php
 * I would also change %1$s and %2$s since that might interact weird with php

 * I tried the following, but it didn’t change anything. I didn’t understand the
   other suggestion you made.
 *     ```
       <div id=\"%1$s\" class=\"w-block dbx-box %2$s\">',
   
       <div class=\"widget-entry\">
       ```
   
 * The changes I made earlier today had to do with the lower portion of the script.

 * Oh okay. I would change it back up to how it used to be
 *     ```
       <div id="%1$s" class="w-block dbx-box %2$s">
   
       <div class="widget-entry">
       ```
   
 * Just to troubleshoot, I would try removing the javascript temporarily and see
   if it your website works again with the javascript removed.
 * If it starts to work, then it is the javascript that’s giving you the problem
   and you might have to load it in a different file and then just enqueue it in
   your functions file.

 * Hmmm… make sure you are clearing your browser cache when testing whether the 
   website works.
 * Also I’m assuming you are using your FTP to edit your functions.php to make sure
   the changes you create are actually saved.
 * Other than that, it’s beyond me :/ Maybe someone more well-versed can weigh in
   as to what’s causing the error. Though seeing as to this doesn’t seem to be the
   under a child themes functions.php being in /notepad/functions.php not /notepad-
   childthem/functions.php I’m assuming you changed the main themes functions.php
   so you might have changed something else in there that’s causing the error.

 * Aha! I discovered the problem in the footer.php. Solved! Thank you so much for
   your time and energies.

 * Wait it wasnt the functions.php at all?
 * I want to learn a bit more about wordpress so do you mind telling me what it 
   was that made it work?

 * I was surprised, also. I thought I had totally forgotten I edited the footer.
   It was the first thing you thought of, which was an extra space. I simply removed
   the space. Whew! That was a mystery!
 * I am now able to reinstall the plug in I wanted. I discovered it worked without
   going in and messing in the files, so I don’t know why those instructions were
   included in the tutorial I read.
