Getting Whitescreen when publishing a post [closed]

MY first guess is to look at the functions.php referenced in the error message for any whitespace (space character) at the top of the file. Hard to find, but extra space characters output before any output will cause that error.

I always make sure that the <?php is at the very very top, and never worry about the closing ?> at the end of a php file, because sometimes inadvertant space characters can be introduced by mistake.
