Customer Header

(@stephencottontail)

Can you post the contents of custom-header.php to Pastebin and post the link here?

My custom-header.php is currently empty because anytime I put my code in, I get the error above.

This is what I was attempting to put in:

</script>”>

or, I think you can view it here:

Thank you.

I apologize, I do not know why pastebin is not working. Does this work:

The issue is that the opening <?php tag must be the very first thing in a PHP file. There can be no spaces, tabs, nothing, before the tag. It should work if you try something like this:

<?php //empty ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<!--[if IE 8]>
<html id="ie8" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<![endif]-->
...

Thank you, but I am continuing to get the same error.

Currently, this is my code:

<?php //empty ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<!--[if IE 8]>
<html id="ie8" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !(IE 8) ]><!-->
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />

global $page, $paged;

wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );

// Add the blog name.
bloginfo( 'name' );

// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
echo " | $site_description";

// Add a page number if necessary:
if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'shape' ), max( $paged, $page ) );

Do you have another suggestion?

Thank you for your time,

For some reason I can’t reproduce your error anymore. How are you calling this file?

Thread Starter

(@mrmccarrin)

I do not have it called anywhere right now and currently it is producing a double header, which if I refresh a bunch produces the error.

Thread Starter

(@mrmccarrin)

I now recieve this error only:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/43/d459884280/htdocs/wordpress-4.0/wordpress/wp-content/themes/shape/inc/custom-header.php:5) in /homepages/43/d459884280/htdocs/wordpress-4.0/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1173

(@stephencottontail)

There are a couple of different ways this error can show up, and I’m trying to pin down the reason so I can help you better. If your file did not have this error, what PHP code are you using to call in this file?

Thread Starter

(@mrmccarrin)

Thank you for your help. To not get the error, I have nothing in the custum-header.pho file. That us the only way I have avoided the error. Does that answer your question?

(@stephencottontail)

No, I mean how does this file get included in your front page template? Does your front page template call get_header()? Do you use include() or require()?
