Apparently there was some sort of ‘installation or configuration delay’ in my host. My domain, service and wordpress installation was setup yesterday. All day these errors continued with no relief in site. Today something has changed. yet nothing. Chalk it up to a delay in install or configuration involving DreamHost. * Thanks * [alwstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alwstaff/) * (@alwstaff) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-widget-error/#post-484831) * Just as an aside . . . I host with Dreamhost as well and have had a few instances where plugins take a few hours to being working properly . . . * No idea why this happens, it just does. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-widget-error/#post-484843) * When that happens, go to Options -> wp-cache, scroll down a bit and clear the cache… * By default, Dreamhost installs the WP-Cache plugin. * [alwstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alwstaff/) * (@alwstaff) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-widget-error/#post-484848) * I did a manual install and do not have the WP Cache installed. I still get the same issue . . . not a big deal, just annoying. * [bibianne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bibianne/) * (@bibianne) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-widget-error/#post-485017) * I get the sanme error when I load the “Presentation-sidebar widgets” menu. In my case it doesn’t go away by itself (so far). At the same time clicking on the configuration icon on a widget works flaky, sometimes it brings a submenu, sometimes I need to click several times before I get that menu. Sometimes, even if I clicked only once, the menu apears two times… * Not a big deal since it works on the site, just anoying. * [aurecovarrubias](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurecovarrubias/) * (@aurecovarrubias) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-widget-error/#post-485019) * Tengo un problema, al querer actualizar mis sidebar, sidebar widget me marca el siguiente error: * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/nr001006/public_html/weblog/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/nr001006/ public_html/weblog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2483 * Y no me es posible modificarlo. * De antemano gracias por su ayuda. * [bernard_j_l](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernard_j_l/) * (@bernard_j_l) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-widget-error/#post-485028) * Well I have been getting this exact error ever since I installed the Widget plug in.
