Double checked it and it is correct. * I don’t have access to WP Admin, so I’ll try deleting/renaming the theme folder since this is referenced in the errors (Thesis) * I think it is something to do with the theme’s functions.php file, but there’s no whitespace in, before or after the offending lines – usually the culprit. * for now I’ll be reinstating the original site, then see if I an get the WordPress version and admin active on a subdomain. * thanks for the input in the meantime. * [artcoder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artcoder/) * (@artcoder) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-moving-wordpress/#post-1722732) * In addition to making sure siteurl in wp_options table is correct, also check the “home” value in the wp_options table as well. That contains an URL value as well. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-moving-wordpress/#post-1722856) * You have unexpected whitespace (either a space or an entire line) on line 1 of the `/wp-content/themes/thesis_17/functions.php` file. See [this guide](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F) for more info. * Alternatively, replacing the file with one from a fresh download may resolve the issue.
