    How to handle failed to send buffer of zlib output compression error<\/h2>\n

    Here are the solutions I found to share with you:<\/p>\n

    SOLUTION 1:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    In plugins (or somewhere) you can have this code:<\/p>\n

    ini_set('zlib.output_compression', '1');<\/pre>\n
    so, i replaced that code with<\/p>\n
    if (!is_admin()) ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); \/\/because, in admin pages, it causes plugin installation to freeze<\/pre>\n
    and Compression will remain ON.<\/p>\n
    SOLUTION 2:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
    You may have to use:<\/p>\n
    remove_action( 'shutdown', 'wp_ob_end_flush_all', 1 );<\/pre>\n
    SOLUTION 3:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
    \/** * The ob_end_flush() function is suitable for all levels * * This function replaces the WordPress * `wp_ob_end_flush_all()` function with an alternative function that does not cause a PHP message. *\/ remove_action( 'shutdown', 'wp_ob_end_flush_all', 1 ); add_action( 'shutdown', function() { while ( @ob_end_flush() ); } );<\/pre>\n
    Below are detailed instructions for inserting the code you provide into your WordPress website:<\/p>\n
