I have written a plugin that sets cookies, and need to avoid the "Headers already sent" PHP error by placing the code at the very top before the head section. Themes usually place wp_head just before the close of the head section, so is there any efficient way to get a plugin to send this code without having to edit the theme itself?
1 Answer
For that I would suggest to use
'init'
hook.
According to codex
This runs after WordPress has finished loading but before any headers are sent

<head>
section of the html you generate. The http header contains information like the content-type of the body, and once you start emitting the body, you can't change the header anymore (as the header already has been sent to the client).
