    When I try to log into my site’s dashboard instead of getting the usual screen I receive the error message:

    Warning: file_put_contents(wp-content/error_log.log) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/26/11743226/html/wp-load.php on line 21

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/26/11743226/html/wp-load.php:21) in /home/content/26/11743226/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178

    I havent made any changes recently so not sure why this would be.

    Any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it?

    it looks like the problem with the headers already sent is stemming from the

    file_put_contents(wp-content/error_log.log) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/26/11743226/html/wp-load.php on line 21

    issue. I have no idea what could be causing this

    try a few basic troubleshooting steps:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
    – deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). When you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try deactivating via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application provided by your hosting provider (cPanel…). Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (If you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
    – If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). When you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
    – If that does not resolve the issue, try resetting the plugins foldervia FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.
