Title: Warning: Cannot modify header information error when saving settings Last modified: February 2, 2018 --- # Warning: Cannot modify header information error when saving settings * [allismachine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allismachine/) * (@allismachine) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-cannot-modify-header-information-error-when-saving-settings/) * Hi there, * I’m getting a headers sent error when I save the settings page in WordPress. * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/sites/urlexample/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-types-order/include/ class.options.php:40) in /var/sites/urlexample/public_html/wp-admin/includes/ misc.php on line 1114 * I’ve had a look at the class.options file in a code editor and the closing PHP tag isn’t highlighted as a closed tag if that makes sense. It’s not highlighted as a clean white closing tag so wondering if there’s a syntax issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Also I have the issue with Yoast SEO making the reordering difficult!

It should be used as an notification to notify the user that the settings have been saved. * Because of this echo, content is being sent to the client and therefor the headers can no longer be sent. * Plugin Author [Maya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdgu/) * (@tdgu) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-cannot-modify-header-information-error-when-saving-settings/#post-10117192) * Hi, I’am not sure why this issue might occur for you, as the admin dashboard use output buffering anyway, so the headers can be pushed. Also there should be other html data in place, before this message output, so it shouldn’t make any difference. * Possible the warning is showing up in conjunction with another plugin? Also which php version you use? * Thanks * [thepeel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepeel/) * (@thepeel) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-cannot-modify-header-information-error-when-saving-settings/#post-10656747) * I realize this topic is 7 months old but I’m having the same issue. I’ve disabled all plugins and have tried both PHP 5.6.21 and 7.0.6 and am still having the same result. * Here are the errors I’m receiving: * ``` Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /domain-path/html/wp-content/plugins/post-types-order/include/class.options.php:40) in /domain-path/html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 1126 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at domain-path/html/wp-content/plugins/post-types-order/include/class.options.php:40) in /domain-path/html/wp-includes/option.php on line 919 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /domain-path/html/wp-content/plugins/post-types-order/include/class.options.php:40) in /domain-path/html/wp-includes/option.php on line 920 ``` * Plugin Author [Maya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdgu/) * (@tdgu) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-cannot-modify-header-information-error-when-saving-settings/#post-10656939) * [@thepeel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepeel/) can you ask for more help at [http://www.nsp-code.com](http://www.nsp-code.com) ? * [Subrata Sarkar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/subrataemfluence/) * (@subrataemfluence) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-cannot-modify-header-information-error-when-saving-settings/#post-10782013) * I get exactly the same error at line 40 when saving settings. * [Subrata Sarkar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/subrataemfluence/) * (@subrataemfluence) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-cannot-modify-header-information-error-when-saving-settings/#post-10782096) * I just got a fix for this. * By replacing * `echo '

' . esc_html__('Settings Saved', 'post-types- order') . '

';` (line #40) * with the following * ``` add_action('admin_head', function(){ echo '

' . esc_html__('Settings Saved', 'post-types-order') . '

'; }, PHP_INT_MAX); ``` * `PHP_INT_MAX` will make sure that printing message gets the lowest priority. * [@tdgu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdgu/) it would be great if you please review it once. * Thank you!
