Clearly me + web design were not meant to be.
But Ryan is a smart person who saved my blog. (Thanks Ryan. Also, I’m a little nuts.).
If you really want to read the blog saga ….
I have another site that I use as my test site for redesigns. This morning all I was doing was working on the styling and placement of my navigation bar. Nothing complicated or crazy. Not even writing code – just MOVING it.
The site displays perfectly, however I can NOT log into my wordpress admin panel. Instead I get this lovely error message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/.hedley/MYSITE/MYSITE.com/blog/wp-content/themes/theme2/functions.php:3) in /home/.hedley/MYSITE/MYSITE.com/blog/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 177
Pluggable-functions.php? WTF. I’ve never even HEARD of that page, much less have I gone in and EFFED up it’s code.
So I did what any normal human would do and read the WordPress support forums. And someone had the EXACT same problem!! Except when I did what they suggested (reupload theme and that annoying pluggable-functions.php file) it DID NOT work for me.
I did not mess with that pluggable-functions.php file. I did not upload or install any plugins today. I really only moved a chunk of code from one div to another. Like I said the page displays and functions fine when I type in the URL. I just can not log into my admin panel and …. I uh … kind of need to do that to add content.
So I posted out for help and got no answers. Now I’ve resorted to begging for help on my site.
Help?
The worst part about this is I had a great entry planned for today that involved tequila! and gays! and chopping all of ones hair off! BLAST!

That line (177) in pluggable-functions.php has to do with logging in. My guess is that some of the code you moved into the sidebar (which is what I’m assuming is line 3 in functions), might call something that needs to run after the login stuff in pluggable-functions.php.
If you can, start by putting functions.php back as it was. If it is already like that, try putting your sidebar back. That’s my only guess from your error message and my WP install.
Oh, one other thing:
Look in functions.php or in pluggable-functions.php and see if you have extra space after your closing ?> tag. Just delete everything after it. That could cause this too, I think.
You are a life saver .. or at least a blog saver.
Also, I’m a complete idiot.
Thanks. I can stop being so frantic now.
