Encountering a "pluggable.php" file error can occur when attempting to insert a code snippet into your website or activating a new plugin.
This situation can arise primarily when attempting to overwrite specific core functions within WordPress. Undoubtedly, WordPress provides the flexibility to customize and override certain functions either through manual modifications or via plugins.
Nevertheless, there are instances where the plugin or code snippet used may struggle to manage WordPress's core functions, potentially resulting in an error message like this:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/username/demosite/app/themes/functions.php:146) in /home/username/demosite/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1023
How to Fix Pluggable.php File Error
The "pluggable.php" file is a core component of WordPress; we would never recommend editing that file, even if the error keeps pointing to it.
In most instances, the error originates from a different source, and resolving it requires addressing the specified location.
In the example provided, the error is pinpointing a specific location within the theme's "functions.php" file, specifically at line 146.
This clarification dispels any confusion. You simply need to navigate to the theme's "functions.php" file and either modify line 146 or rectify the issue causing the error.
Occasionally, the problem may be as simple as an extra space or a missing "php ?>" tag.
In certain situations, a particular plugin could be the root cause of the error. In such cases, the error message may appear as follows:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/username/demosite/app/plugins/test-plugin.php:131) in /home/username/demosite/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1023
This error is indicating a particular plugin (for example, the test-plugin). To address it, you can deactivate the relevant plugin to see if that resolves the error.
The "pluggable.php" file error is frequently triggered not by the file itself but rather by poorly coded plugins or custom code snippets. Occasionally, your theme might also be responsible for this issue.
