    My RSS sidebar RSS selection won't generate feeds for visitors to subscribe to. Here is code and errors for both RSS entries and comments. Blog is www.wowgreathealth.com

    Current code for RSS entries feed:

  2. " title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS 2.0 (XML)" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Entries RSS 2.0
  3. I've also tried suggested Adding Feeds for entries from Wordpress:

  4. " title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('RSS'); ?>
  5. But on both codes I get no feeds displayed and Error for RSS Entries:
    XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: http://wowgreathealth.com/?feed=rss2 Line Number 2, Column 1:^

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Current code for RSS comments feed:

  6. " title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Comments RSS 2.0 (XML)" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Comments RSS 2.0
  7. I've also tried suggested Adding Feeds for comments from Wordpress:

  8. " title="<?php _e('The latest comments to all posts in RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('Comments RSS'); ?>
  9. But on both codes I get no feeds displayed and Error for RSS Comments:
    XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: http://www.wowgreathealth.com/comments/feed/
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="wordpress/2.0.7" -->^

    Those links are fine. Your problem is that your feed starts with a blank line. There's a lot of possible causes for this. The most common are:
    a) Having a blank line at the very top or bottom of a plugin.
    b) Having a blank line at the very top of bottom of your theme's functions.php file.
    c) Having a blank line at the very top of bottom of your wp-config.php file.
    d) Having a blank line at the very top of bottom of any other major Wordpress file.

    Find, and remove, this blank line. It will be outside the <?php...?> tags in the file.

    Also, you have created a "feed" directory which is preventing your normal "Entries" feed from working. Remove the directory named "feed" from your site.

    FIXED

    Wow Otto, Thanks a bunch. This just saved me tons of time.

    I had blank lines at the end of comments.php and header.php after the close ...?>

    There was some HTML code after that with blank lines between it and apparently that's all it took to screw things up.

    All is well.
