    Try:

    1. Deactivating all your plugins by renaming your plugins folder at /wp-content/plugins
    2. Activating the default theme by moving all other themes from /wp-content/themes
    3. Re-installing WP just in case you have a messed up copy

    Hi,

    It is usually due to spaces, new lines, or other garbage at opening/closing PHP file <?php tag or after a closing ?> tag in wp-config.php. It can be other file too so need to check error message as it may list file name where the error occurred.

    You can either upload error file from the backup or edit erroneous file. To edit the file one need to check below mentioned points:

    1. Download the file mentioned in the error message.
    2. Open that file in a plain text editor
    3. Check that the very first characters are <?php
    4. Check that the very last characters are ?>
    5. Place the cursor between the ? and >
    6. Now press the DELETE key on your computer and keep that key pressed for at least 15 seconds.
    7. Now type > and
    8. Save without pressing any other key at all.

    That’s it!

    Thanks,

    thanks i have managed to solve it with your help (micahcooksey and Shane G.)

    Hi, I’m getting the same error.. What did you do to solve this danarc?
    So far I’ve tried renaming the plugin folder and moving other themes.. But i’m not getting default theme back and i’m still getting the error message when trying to acces the wp-admin area ..

    Also on a side note: does it matter which encoding you use when you build your custom template? Because i’ve been using UTF-8 ( since that is what my database is running ) but i looked at the origional wp coding ( meaning the wp code itself and the default theme etc. ) and they are all encoded in ANSI / ISO 8859-1..

    Hope that you, or someone else can help me with this.
