 * It looks like there is something not right with your wp-includes/formatting.php
   file.
 * The “Headers already sent” error is usually because there are spaces, new lines,
   or other stuff before an opening `<?php` tag or after a closing `?>` tag. Have
   you made any changes to this file? One easy way to make sure everything is back
   to original is by replacing that file with one from a [fresh download](https://wordpress.org/download/)
   of WordPress.

 * Dear Geoffrey,
 * I really appreciate your help. Thank you!
 * This is my formatting.php. I cannot see anything broken there. Do you?

 * Sorry for the delay in getting back with you! As long as you don’t have any extra
   new lines at the beginning or end of the file, it looks fine to me.
 * I would try [manually re-installing WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   and see if you are still getting those messages.
 * If that doesn’t work either, you could try deactivating all plugins. If that 
   resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
 * If that still does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme 
   for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions
   can interfere like plugins).

 * Dear Geoffrey,
 * Thank you!
 * It is a plugin problem and I am right now isolating which one it is. 🙂
 * Yours,
 * Robert
