I’m posting this because I’m sure I’m not the only person that could be affected by this right now. I host this blog (and a number of other blogs) with Bluehost and absolutely love the value for money I get from them. For some reason, out of the blue when I went to post a new blog post today I got an error when attempting to get to my wp-admin directory.
The error looked like this:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home8/xxx/public_html/ciosteve/wp-settings.php:340) in /home8/xxx/public_html/ciosteve/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934
While the main site worked, I couldn’t get to my RSS feed or the WordPress Admin interface. In fact, when I tried this on all the other blog sites I run on Bluehost I got the same error! Perplexed, I thought it was time to get my technical brain working and resolve this issue!
I downloaded the wp-settings.php file and there were about 12 empty lines at the end of the file. I simply deleted those empty lines, reuploaded the wp-settings.php file and was back in business.
I had to do this on all my WordPress sites, but they are all functioning again now. Hope this helps someone else!

This Thing Really saved my day, thank u
Glad to hear it helped!
Its apart of the timtumb.php hack. please look into it.
Thanks Jacob,
You are correct! I use ElegantThemes and I should have updated my Theme because it was using TimThumb. I had to delete the entire theme directory to remove the TimThumb cache directory to fix it up.

Siva – see the comment above. It’s part of the TimThumb hack. If you can’t restore from backup, delete your current Theme directory and reupload the updated theme that doesn’t use TimThumb.
