In IE, I can't even get to the admin because I get this error:</p> <p>XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://www.[snip].com/wp-admin/'. </p> <p>However, in Firefox, I get a momentary message at the login screen, and then I'll get the login. Once I'm logged in, I get the same error when editing a page. The message flashes to the screen, then goes back to the dashboard. This is the error:</p> <p>XML Parsing Error: no element found.<br /> Location: http//www.[snip].com/wp-admin/page.php<br /> Line Number 1, Column 1:</p> <p>^</p> <p>VERY weird. It's a vanilla install of WP at this point, and I just installed the exact same files on a different domain yesterday (same host). Any ideas? Thanks for your help! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-975030 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:33:25 +0000 denharsh 975030@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I don;t know what I did....and my issue is resolved :) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-975022 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:21:01 +0000 denharsh 975022@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hey for me my problem is not fixed ....</p> <p>jcalbon you are saying that I should upload every file related to RSS individually??</p> <p>If you can give me more insight to it..</p> <p><a href="mailto:admin@shoutmeloud.com">admin@shoutmeloud.com</a></p> <p>I have validiated my feeds and it seems to be working but facing problem when I;m using firefox.</p> <p>Here is my link <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/Shoutmeloud" rel="nofollow">http://feedproxy.google.com/Shoutmeloud</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-951990 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 00:46:21 +0000 Jo5329 951990@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>To: matrixagent</p> <p>Your fix of removing spaces in my theme function php worked for me.

I went through all the core files that had to do with feeds and think it might have been that one of them had uploaded improperly, because though I didn't find any blank lines, once everything was uploaded again, it did seem to start working. So, for future people who run into this problem, that might fix things for you, too :-).</p> <p>For me, I was seeing the error both when I clicked the RSS button in Firefox and also when I tried burning the feed in my FeedBurner account.</p> <p>I'm glad you got yours fixed, too, matrixagent! </p> <p>Again, thank you so much everyone--I really appreciate the help! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-934126 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:23:44 +0000 callingshotgun 934126@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It appears that the rendered RSS feed, when you view source in firefox, has an empty first line. the &lt;?xml ...&gt; stuff starts on line 2. If you save the file, remove the empty line, and re-load in firefox, it works fine... However, I can't figure out where in the wordpress code this empty line is coming from. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-925739 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:42:10 +0000 matrixagent 925739@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've got the same problem and couldn't find a solution yet.</p> <p>MarkRH: The problem is that some feed readers just quit instantly when this error comes up. In Firefox for example I only get an error page when loading my feed, while in FeedDemon, my feed reader, there a still new entries coming up.</p> <p>Edit: I got it - my theme's functions.php had four blank lines between some ?&gt; and &lt;? tags. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-924292 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:07:23 +0000 MarkRH 924292@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Your site looks fine to me and your feed seems to work fine as well. There's a few warnings when running the feed through <a href="http://feedvalidator.org" rel="nofollow">http://feedvalidator.org</a></p> <p>Where and with what exactly are you seeing this error? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225209#post-924214 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 00:00:25 +0000 jcalbon 924214@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've just upgraded my site to 2.7 and my RSS feeds are no longer working. I get the error:<br /> XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity</p> <p>I disabled all of my plugins to see if any of them were the cause, and the error persisted. The site is at <a href="http://www.thriveyourtribe.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thriveyourtribe.com</a></p> <p>I'm hoping someone has some suggestions for what I should try to get this working properly.

It need to start at line 1 so there is a space somewhere. This <code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;</code> has to be on line 1. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/221866#post-913188 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:21:30 +0000 modmama 913188@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>sorry for being daft<br /> - what does that mean?<br /> any thoughts on how to fix? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/221866#post-913180 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:07:19 +0000 kmessinger 913180@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I think it is most likely the redirect. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/221866#post-913147 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:24:30 +0000 modmama 913147@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Having trouble with my RSS feed.</p> <p>Error reads:</p> <p>XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity<br /> Location: <a href="http://site.modmama.com/modblog/?feed=rss2" rel="nofollow">http://site.modmama.com/modblog/?feed=rss2</a><br /> Line Number 2, Column 1:&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;<br /> ^</p> <p>Looked for extra spaces in the code at wp-rss2.php and a few other files suggested, deactivated all plugins, but still no help.

Can't say the upgrade to 2.5.1 fixed anything, because it was still happening after the upgrade. So my apologizes if you have the same issue. I don't know how it was corrected.</p> <p>Kris </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/171353#post-747320 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:33:02 +0000 klagreca 747320@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Just to give things a "bump" here is a precise example of that's happening:</p> <p>In my code view, a link looks like this:<br /> <code>&lt;a title=&quot;Website design by LaGreca Arts&quot; href=&quot;http://www.lagrecaarts.com/technology-services/services/web-design&quot;&gt;Web Design&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>Looks good, right? Well, when I use a code view from Safari or in the W3C output view, the link looks like this:<br /> <code>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lagrecaarts.com/technology-services/services/web-design&quot;title=&quot;Website design by LaGreca Arts&quot; &gt;Web Design&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>Now that's not right. Why/where is Wordpress doing this? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/171353#post-742107 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:51:41 +0000 klagreca 742107@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi folks!<br /> Here's a problem that I've been fighting a loosing battle with: Proper validation with W3C.</p> <p>I think the problem lies with Wordpress removing spaces in the attributes within tags. Here's the page in question: <a href="http://www.lagrecaarts.com/shop">http://www.lagrecaarts.com/shop</a>. When looking at the page in code view, everything looks good. But the code output view in the W3.org page clearly shows the spacing missing between the href and title attributes. </p> <p>I've switched themes to test, no change.<br /> I've turned off the "correct invalid nested XHTML.." option, no change.</p> <p>And funny, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my homepage, which also has hyperlinks. </p> <p>Any ideas, other than "disable the visual editor"?<br /> :-)</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Kristopher </p>
