# [Plugin: Edit Flow] headers already sent error

 * Edit flow version 0.7.1
 * I’m getting this error message when I try to preview or update a post:
 * Note: Your browser does not support JavaScript or has JavaScript disabled. You
   will not be able to access or change the post status.
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/hubwscns/public_html/entry/wp-content/plugins**/edit-flow/modules/custom-
   status/custom-status.php:259**) in /home/hubwscns/public_html/entry/wp-includes/
   pluggable.php on line 866
 * If I understand the FAQ Troubleshooting for “headers already sent by” properly,
   the problem is at (or near) line 259 of the edit-flow custom-status.php file.
 * I couldn’t see anything wrong when I viewed the file, but that doesn’t mean much:
   I can’t even spell php.
 * Do you fix this, or do I fix this? If it’s me, what do I do?
 * Thanks

 * Still having this problem? Does it persist when you deactivate all of your other
   plugins? If not, what other plugins are you using?

 * Thanks for responding Daniel. The problem continued after I deactivated Edit-
   Flow (the message blamed update.php instead of an edit-flow file), so presumably
   it lay, or lies, somewhere else.
 * I *think* I might have fixed it by screaming at full voice and deactivating every
   plug-in except anti-spammers and an events calendar that’s chock full of data.
   The scream was because I’ve used a plugin for backups and it wouldn’t complete,
   which means that I couldn’t update WordPress, which means….
 * Anyway, I can now preview a post, which is progress, if it continues.
 * Thanks again.

 * Good to hear. It’s generally a good idea to deactivate plugins you aren’t actively
   using.
 * If a plugin you are using is causing problems, you can narrow down which it is
   by turning your plugins off one by one while testing.
