Title: [Plugin: WordPress Mobile Edition] Error Message When Adding Plugin To WP 3.0.1 Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WordPress Mobile Edition] Error Message When Adding Plugin To WP 3.0.1 * [Kmackaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmackaz/) * (@kmackaz) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/) * Just discovered this awesome plugin after discovering the need to get my websites“ mobile ready”. I followed the installation instructions found with the plugin( [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-edition/installation/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-edition/installation/)): * > 1. Drop the wp-mobile.php file in your wp-content/plugins directory > 2. Drop > the carrington-mobile-(version #) directory in your wp-content/themes directory > 3. Click the ‘Activate’ link for WordPress Mobile Edition on your Plugins page( > in the WordPress admin interface) * …I get the following error displayed after the Mobile Edition plugin is **activated**.. * > The plugin generated 480 characters of unexpected output during activation. > If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds > or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin. * Why is this error message showing and will it affect the performance of the plugin? Anything I can do to fix it?

Except my error message says “450 characters”, instead of 480. * Haven’t tried to display the site on a mobile device yet, will see if there is an impact and if i can find a fix. * [clumber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clumber/) * (@clumber) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/#post-1645617) * I was having the same problem. Solved by changing to WordPress Mobile Pack plugin which is working well right out of the box. * Try that. * [seanjuan73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanjuan73/) * (@seanjuan73) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/#post-1645634) * I am also having the same issue. * Mine happens to on a brand-new install of WordPress 3.0.1 Installed Sept. 30th, 2010. * Also, Mine says “440 characters”, instead of 450 or 480. * Any other solutions, other then using a different plugin? * [emilybennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emilybennett/) * (@emilybennett) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/#post-1645637) * Hi, * I’m having the same problem too. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this??? * Emily * [seanjuan73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanjuan73/) * (@seanjuan73) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/#post-1645648) * Well, I am guessing the author of the plug-in either: A) Does not care or B) Does not pay attention to questions about their plug-in. (again, does not seem to care) * SO like [Clumber](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/clumber) said, try “[WordPress Mobile Pack](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/)“. It is working for me and seems to have a lot less issues. * Here is the link to the WordPress Mobile Pack plug-in: * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/) * [jdblundell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdblundell/) * (@jdblundell) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/#post-1645661) * Having some issues related to my add new post page. * Deactivated all my plugins and received a similar error (except 508 characters) when I reactivated this one. * I’m guessing it’s related to extra blank lines of code at the end of a PHP file. * Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to change/fix my other issue to deactivate or reactive the plugin. * But I’ll be checking out WordPress Mobile Pack either way. Thanks for the heads up. * [Mick1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mick1/) * (@mick1) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-mobile-edition-error-message-when-adding-plugin-to-wp-301/#post-1645685) * I’d like to see is an option to disable the ‘Return to Mobile Edition’ link at the end of posts. I understand why it’s there, but I have a separate button on my main page to use the mobile theme so it is repetitive for me and I delete this line of code in the [php](http://www.blogster.com/voipbest123/voip-services-for-the-home-or-office-environment) file on each update.
