Cannot modify header information – headers already sent Error Message in WordPress

This error occurs when headers come after the content. You can use couple of ways to fix that.
1. Turn on buffer in php.ini
Find the following line output_buffering = Off in php.ini and change it to output_buffering = 4096
2. Use ob_start() and ob_end_flush()
In addition to turning buffer on all the time for all the pages in the php.ini we can also turn it on on a page by page basis. We can do that by using function called ob_start() for output buffer start and then when we are done ob_end_flush(). So that’s going to start the buffer. Everything that happens after that will go in the buffer. And at the end we have to say okay, we are done now. You’re free to flush this over to the web server. Very important though, ob_start()has to come before any content. Just the same as the headers, otherwise we won’t have started the output buffer. When we output a little bit of HTML, the headers are already sent, then we turn on the buffer but it’s too late.
