"Add new post" in Wordpress

[eisla85]

Hi,
I'm a neophyte, I've installed a plug-in, Count per Day, on my blog and now I spot this error:

warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/eisla362/public_html/wp-content/themes/flipblog/functions.php:82) in /home/eisla362/public_html/wp-content/plugins/count-per-day/counter-core.php on line 169

can you help me?

What is on line 82 and 169 respectively, and a few lines before and after that?

Where should I look for this error? Editor>Function.php?

[laserlight]

Well, the problem is that once headers have been sent due to output, e.g., because of an echo/print, then using the [man]header[/man] function, setting a cookie with [man]setcookie[/man], or starting a session that sets a cookie will fail with the error that you encountered. So, somehow you must structure the code such that the output is not made until the right moment, or perhaps more lazily use output buffering.

I suggest that you contact the plugin developer to ask for help, perhaps reporting it as a bug.

/home/eisla362/public_html/wp-content/plugins/count-per-day/counter-core.php, line 169, of course. 😉

If you're not comfortable with munging the code files, that would be why laserlight suggested contacting the plugin developer. Alternatively, de-install the plugin.

Thank you very much laserlight. I've solved in header.php removing '>?' thank you all 😃

I assume you mean removing "?>" --- the closing PHP tag?

This probably means that a stray space, newline, or BOM (byte-order-mark) was left there by some {editor} software....

I've long since gotten into the habit of never putting the ?> tag at the end of PHP files for the very reason that a simple newline after it (which even if you don't put it in some editors or even FTP clients may do so by default) can cause that kind of problem. This of course only applies with files that are purely PHP code with no output or HTML outside of the PHP tags.
