Joe on "[Plugin: iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security)] Error "cannot modify header information" when saving preferences"

Every time I attempt to save a preference, I get this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/s/a/n/»redacted«/wp-config.php:34) in /home/content/s/a/n/»redacted«/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

The preferences seem to stick if I refresh the page. Disconcerting. Not sure if preferences actually are being saved.

Example steps:
1. Check box next to "Write to Files: Allow iThemes Security to write to wp-config.php and .htaccess."
2. Press Save Changes button
3. Error above is result.
