    Hello,
    I am trying to do a simple php redirect by putting the following code at the very top of my header.php file. But I get a warning saying that output has been started at line 2. Which is the line that says <?php. I don’t understand why this is happening. I am not echoing anything. Is WP loop causing this? should I make changes? Please help.

    <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();?>
 <?php
  $externalLink = get_post_meta($post->ID,'link',TRUE);
  if($externalLink) {
   header("Location: $externalLink");
  }
 ?>
<?php endwhile; endif;?>

    To redirect you have to put this:

    <?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

    AT THE TOP. That is BEFORE any other code.
