 * Hi urgent help needed please. I’m new to this and have made a big mistake. I 
   added `.inpostbox {border: 1px solid #000000; font: Arial;}` to the Theme Functions
   under Editor. I then deleted the code. Now the whole layout of the website has
   been altered [](http://www.emberjd.com/). Getting messages and can’t seem to 
   logout of dashboard.
    `Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot
   send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/emberjdc/
   public_html/wp-content/themes/pod/functions.php:27) in /home/emberjdc/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/si-contact-form.php on line 1997`

 * This`.inpostbox {border: 1px solid #000000; font: Arial;}` is CSS and belongs
   in the theme’s stylesheet, not it’s functions.php file, which should only contain
   PHP.
 * The “headers already sent” message most likely means that you have a space before
   the opening `<?php` tag or after the closing `?>` tag. (Other possibilities are
   [highly googlable](https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&client=firefox-a&hs=01g&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=rcs&q=wordpress+headers+already+sent&oq=wordpress+headers+already+sent&gs_l=serp.3...12157.13202.0.13838.10.7.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.14.serp.J-jnlENavkc).)
 * You shouldn’t edit your theme’s core files, btw. You should use a child theme,
   instead.
