I have disabled the Media Tagger plugin and the error went away. But now I renamed the Media Tagger folder to xwp-mediatagger and then I get the same error again. * I don’t really see why renaming a folder would change anything to this error. * Apparently this error is due to a space problem but I can’t find the space on line 1 or 49.. * Anymore ideas? * Cheers! * [Amol Sawant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amolsawant1989/) * (@amolsawant1989) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session_start-error-in-php/#post-4627926) * Hello, * the problem is in your plugin not in wordpress that why whenever you rename it, it’s not showing error because it’s disabled … * sometimes the problem is different and it show the error different … there may be internal logic or syntax error in that plugin files … * for plugin error you have contact the plugin developer or company .. from here we can’t give you support for plugin errors… we can only provide support for errors occurred in wordpress… * Thank You. amol sawant. * Thread Starter [ftb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misomaybe/) * (@misomaybe) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session_start-error-in-php/#post-4627928) * Ok.

That plugin was fine unless it was edited.
