Error Message When Logging in to WordPress

[reedmaven]

I receive this message now when logging in to WordPress as Admin. (I have substituted “…” for some path information):

==========

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /…/…/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_general_settings.php:1) in /…/…/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 790

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /…/…/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_general_settings.php:1) in /…/…/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 791

==========

What does this mean? Should I be worried about a corrupted file? Or is there a modification which I can make to correct this? It is very disconcerting, as I have just switched to WordPress, coupled with your plugins, for my store for stability and ease of maintenance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have looked at the functions.php file, and lines 790 and 791 are as follows:

==========

setcookie( ‘wp-settings-‘ . $user->ID, $settings, time() + 31536000, SITECOOKIEPATH );

setcookie( ‘wp-settings-time-‘ . $user->ID, time(), time() + 31536000, SITECOOKIEPATH );

==========

So, is there a setting within wpMember that requires my attention, insofar as cookies are concerned?

Thanks for any help.

I also received the following when logged in as site Admin after updating a page file:

==========

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /…/…/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/emember_general_settings.php:1) in /…/…/public_html/wp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

==========

This was presented on a blank(!) page, as though the Dashbord/backend no longer existed; but when using the back button on my browser, the updated information was present and the small changes to the file were included.

I investigated line 868, and here are the lines 865 through 868:

==========

} else {

if ( php_sapi_name() != ‘cgi-fcgi’ )

status_header($status); // This causes problems on IIS and some FastCGI setups

header(“Location: $location”, true, $status);

}

==========

Hope that this helps you decipher what is going on. For what it’s worth, I am on shared hosting with Bluehost.com, which is Linux-based (I think the kernal is v.2.6.31-12.9), running mySql v.5.1.41, php v.5.2.11. I generally use Firefox v.3.5.7.

You shouldn’t receive any error message. I will need to take a look at your site to see why this is happening. I have sent you an email.

Just an update.

Problem: It turns out that the problem was caused by certain files which had been transferred unintentionally in a non-Unix format, and for some reason my server’s setup was not dealing with the issue very well.

Solution: I re-transferred all of the files in “binary” format, instead of letting my FTP program (Filezilla) decide whether each file’s format was ASCII or binary.

Result: No further error messages, so far, for the past few days. Thanks to amin007 for pointing me in the right direction.
