I don’t have that plug in so that’s not a fix for me.

I gave up and reverted to the most current 3.8. Now it works like a champ…

I’ve subsequently discovered that most of the buttons on the right side bar don’t work: I can’t add tags to my posts or edit the publishing time, for example.

As this was a clean manual upgrade, my only other thought at this point is to revert.

Thank you for that quick reply; I apologize for the immediate post when I saw something new. I web-searched portions of the code and started to come to the same conclusion.

As described, I have deleted my entire blog, changed the passwords, and uploaded a clean WP install. For now, the site is working. Hopefully, there isn’t a hidden hacked file somewhere else I don’t know about.

New item: I downloaded the old wp-config prior to overwriting it, and it had new code at the top. It was a 2500 character php line that started and ended like this:

<?php eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(' redacted ')));?>

Anybody know what that is?

In a predictable fashion, my blog will work perfectly fine, and then a few hours later I will return to it and as soon as I try to do anything like preview a post, approve a comment, etc, I get a white screen. The error is

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /services2/webpages/c/h/christianfighterpilot.com/public/blog/wp-settings.php:3) in /services2/webpages/c/h/christianfighterpilot.com/public/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

I can repair the site by re-uploading all the files (not folders) from the includes and root wp folder. I’ve tried uploading them in different orders, but until I get all of the files uploaded, I continue to get the error. The site will continue to work perfectly until I come back to it a few hours later.

The only plug in I have operating is akismet. I have a twentytwelve-child running with no changes to those files and very few modifications themselves.

Any help would be appreciated, as re-uploading the blog every few hours is unsustainable.

The site continues to break (white screen as above) for a reason I can’t explain. It isn’t immediate, because I walk away from a working site and come back to a broken one. I’m not sure if its time or some action being taken. This last time, when I couldn’t leave a comment without getting a white screen, uploading the root files didn’t help, but the includes files did. I can’t conceive a rhyme or reason for why different files fix it different times.

This problem continues to repeat; I inadvertently started a second thread on this topic here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/white-screen-returns-on-save-draft-preview-commenting

Six hours after having a working blog, I reattempted one thing: saving a test draft blog. Got a white screen. Tried commenting, previewing, same thing.

Deleted, reuploaded wp-admin and wp-includes files (not folders), still didn’t work.

Deleted, reuploaded root wp files (not folders), started working. Turned on the config debug option, and got no errors.

What can possibly be breaking?

It wasn’t my intention to have two open threads on this; I’ll point the other one here.

I just deleted the theme, reinstalled it. Same problem.

I deleted and re-uploaded the php files within wp-admin — no change.

I deleted and re-uploaded the php files within wp-includes — everything now works…for the time being, as far as I can tell. I still don’t know what caused the white screen issue.

I went through the same test steps: commented, edited, previewed, new draft, everything worked.

I just don’t know why.

I’m not sure how to delete them since they’re not in the actual file. The PHP bumps right against the DOCTYPE, and I didn’t touch that file.

I just tried to delete blank lines at the end of all the wp files and generated a 500 error for my trouble. Reloaded the files.

The “empty” lines in View Source are PHP comments in the original file that precede the DOCTYPE html.

I didn’t modify header.php, though I did use the WP Admin panel appearance option to upload a graphic.

I don’t see any empty lines in the source file. I’ve read that FAQ before and don’t have lines at the end or beginning. I’ve used both FrontPage and ExpressionWeb to ftp the files.

Back to unresolved.

After having a “good” site as described above, I wrote a new post. As soon as I hit “save draft,” the white screen returned. Now I get it every time I save, preview, try to add a comment, or even logout (all of which I could do before successfully).

This is the sole error I get when I save a draft or make a comment:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /services2/webpages/c/h/christianfighterpilot.com/public/blog/wp-settings.php:3) in /services2/webpages/c/h/christianfighterpilot.com/public/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

However, when I try to logout, I get

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /services2/webpages/c/h/christianfighterpilot.com/public/blog/wp-includes/functions.php:3) in /services2/webpages/c/h/christianfighterpilot.com/public/blog/wp-login.php on line 368

and 14 more just like it (just different lines).

I’ve referenced those lines (cookies and author information) and can’t figure out why I suddenly have an error.

Any help?
