Errors handled

1)Admin panel error

Error Details: Couldn’t sign into the admin panel of awwa.lk WordPress displayed the error
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /public_html/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/my-function.php:#) in /public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line #
As you can see, there are two files mentioned by the error. The first file (in our case: my-function.php located at /public_html//wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/) our custom code that is used to override the core functionality provided by WordPress. The core functionality in question is in the pluggable.php file (a core WordPress file which is the same for every WordPress installation). Basically, there is a problem in the first file which is preventing the second file to function properly.

The major cause of this error are blank spaces present in the first file. These could be blank spaces at the top or bottom of the file, unnecessary blank spaces anywhere in the file or even blank spaces between the <?php and ?> PHP tags.


Option 1 – Editing corrupted files
The first option when troubleshooting the Warning: cannot modify header information error is to manually edit the error file
 open up this file, either through an FTP client like FileZilla, or through File Manager.
Essentially, all you’re looking to do here is to remove extra spaces present in the file. A good place to start would be the line # mentioned in the error message. From there, you can continue to parse the rest of the file and look for additional unneeded spaces/blanks until the end of the document.

Make sure to pay special attention to the starting and ending PHP tags. There should not be spaces before or after the <?php tag, as well as the ?> tag. Also, the last line of code should not be followed with a blank line or extra space.

Option 2 – Replace corrupted files

If the error is indeed caused by a plugin or theme, all you need to do is re-install it. Doing this fixes the error in most cases. On the other hand, if a core WordPress file is the cause of the error, get a backup copy of WordPress and replace the corrupted file on your installation with the one present on the backups. This will ensure that the corrupted file has been restored to its original state while keeping the rest of your WordPress installation intact. Restart the server and check whether the error has been cleared
Note: FileZilla may consume a lot of time best choice is to use CPANEL provided by 1onos hosting. Open either of it then clear the data present(Please make sure you have a backup )Then upload the data then make the required changes in the wp_config file
check for the duplicator backups.
Site will be down best to redirect to under maintenance window since there will many technical glitters

2)Site doesn’t  switch from English to any other languages

Awwa.lk is a multilingual site has a language switcher plugin on the right side widgets window for the visitors to choose between Tamil ,Sinhala, English through a dropdown toolbox
Detail: Language switcher wasn’t working for Tamil and Sinhala
Solution
Check whether the polylang plugin permalinks  is integrated properly in the WordPress check the setting give and language code
Go into the WordPress page and menus check whether the pages and menus are assigned for the right language note: Whether the right language codes are used .

3)Broken Links

Most of the permalinks are pages that are created in dashboard it should be working fine at most times ,in the other hand the custom links can cause errors due to,

1.Links are href are broken

If this is the case open the particular link try to find out updated link and connect its path or try to upload the content to a new page manually through uploading the page content through archives

2. permalink has been corrupted

Check whether the URL leads to the right directory if it doesn't update the link and page should redirected to the working link.
