    This is the error I keep receiving:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/alur007/public_html/wp-content/themes/Unicorn/options.php:2) in /home/alur007/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

    After reading through the troubleshooting guides in the WordPress codex @ How Do I Solve The Headers Already Sent Warning Problem, it appears my error is on line 2 of the options.php.

    When I get there and do as the link above describes, I then receive this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/alur007/public_html/wp-content/themes/Unicorn/options.php:2

    The beginning of the code found in this area is: 

    <!--CSS Options-->
	<script> <style type="text/css" media="screen">
		 a:hover,.sf-menu li.current-menu-item a, .sf-menu li a:hover,
		.widget_calendar table#wp-calendar>tbody>tr>td>a,
		.widget_calendar tfoot>tr>td#prev a,.widget_calendar tfoot>tr>td#next a,
		.comment-post-title, .footer-widget a:hover, .credits a:hover ,
		.footer-widget.widget_calendar tfoot>tr>td#prev a,.widget_calendar tfoot>tr>td#next a,
		.half-meta .half-meta-time .day,.half-meta .half-meta-time .year,.half-meta .half-meta-time .month, .caption-time .day, .flex-caption h3 a:hover, form.nd_form p a:hover.forgotten, span.reedwan-following-info:hover
		{
			color:<?php echo '#'.get_option('reedwan_generalcolor'); ?>;
		}

		.sf-menu li a:hover, .sf-menu li.current-menu-item a{
			border-bottom-color:<?php echo '#'.get_option('reedwan_generalcolor'); ?>;
		}
		::-moz-selection {background:<?php echo '#'.get_option('reedwan_generalcolor'); ?>;}
		::selection {background:<?php echo '#'.get_option('reedwan_generalcolor'); ?>;}

    Obviously, this error is an issue with my theme. I just purchased it and installed it today, and seem to be the only person who has had this issue with it. When I revert back to my old theme I have no issues, but I would like to figure this out so that the money is not wasted.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you contacted your theme’s vendors with this issue? ww.wp.xz.cn forums are meant for supporting the core application, themes and plugins that are distributed on ww.wp.xz.cn.

    I have indeed, but as it is the weekend I don’t expect to be hearing back before Monday. I wouldn’t be here without going that route first, and wouldn’t have bothered at all if I hadn’t seen how prevalent an issue this seems to be.

    Unfortunately, every topic on this has a different answer and a different method due to it being a different file each time for the most part, and I’ve yet to find one that I can get to work so I thought I’d see if anyone could identify the problem.

    I know it is something simple, but each fix I attempt has either done nothing, or led to other versions of the parse error/syntax error disabling the website.

    Yes, I posted that very link in my original post as one of the methods I had attempted to correct the header issue. What is described there ended up with me getting the parse/syntax error that I described, disabling the website completely.

    Oh sorry, my bad…unfortunately I don’t know how to solve that one either.

    It’s alright, I appreciate the attempt at any rate. It was a shot in the dark that I would find some help, may have to just wait until Monday and revert to the old theme.

    Are you stuck entirely — out of the old theme too now? If so, you could try accessing your site via FTP — and rename the bad theme folder — then it should automatically revert you to the default WP theme and you should be able to then activate your old theme.

    My original theme is fine when I revert back, it’s just this new one with the errors that I can’t seem to work out. Thanks though.
