I updated my theme (and child theme). When I try to do certain tasks, I get the following error message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.../public_html/wp-content/themes/blu/functions.php:1) in /home/.../public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.phpon line 1174
It happens when I try to do some plugin actions: 1) When I try to connect to WordPress.com through JetPack.
2) When I uploaded a plugin and clicked Activate from the Dashboard
It is also IMPOSSIBLE to search new plugins. Nothing seems to happen.
Even though it was up to date, I did update the WordPress install, too, to see if that would remedy the problem. No luck.
I deactivated and tried to reactivate plugins. At first I did the "bundled" plugins. It did say there was an error, but it didn't tell me with which one of the five.
The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Blu ChildTheme URI: http://blu.elated-themes.comDescription: A child theme of Blu ThemeAuthor: Elated ThemesAuthor URI: http://themeforest.net/user/elated-themesVersion: 1.0.0Text Domain: bluTemplate: blu
Description Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.phptemplate file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.
Error: header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.../wp-content/themes/blu/functions.php:1) in /home/.../wp-includes/option.php on line 824
It happens since you must not update child theme. You should update only main theme! Now have to make every change in the child theme from the scratch.
For the future, here is explanation how you shuld update theme properly:
You just need to update your theme to the latest version we released, then update Visual Composer we included in it, and clear cache.
It is definitely *not* an issue with the child theme. I deleted the child (I had not yet made any custom changes to it, so it is fine) and there are still issues. I can’t even access my Dashboard anymore. There is a problem with the update of the Theme. I backed up to version 1.0 of blu and it worked fine. Then I updated to 1.1 and I get all kinds of warning messages. Please run some scans on the theme itself; something went wrong in your update.
(And I did try your instructions below; they didn’t work for me- I got a different error when re-installing the plugin).
Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=692134 in /home/eloquent/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1877
This is the error I get now when trying to access my Dashboard:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/eloquent/public_html/wp-content/themes/blu/functions.php:1) in /home/eloquent/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.phpon line 1179
For now I’m sticking with version 1.0; I’ve wasted hours already on this. And I will not immediately update my theme in the future. Someone else can QA it instead of me.
Hi,

Can you help?
Thanks!
Perhaps this error will shed more light on this:

Hello,
