 * I am the author of a plug-in under development. I get the ‘extra white space’
   error message from Updraft – free version. How do I find where in my code I am
   generating extra white space??

 * Hi,
 * Can you also please check if you have any whitespace at top or bottom of your
   wp-config.php? If yes can you please remove it?
   More information about the warning
   here and how to resolve – [https://teamupdraft.com/documentation/updraftplus/topics/general/troubleshooting/problems-with-extra-white-space/](https://teamupdraft.com/documentation/updraftplus/topics/general/troubleshooting/problems-with-extra-white-space/).
   Let us know if that helps.
