   Turn off the feedburner plugin. Make sure it works that way first.

   Then, when you get FeedBurner working right, turn the plugin back on.

   Okay, thanks. I did that, but now I get a different message. Can you take a look and advise?

   Thanks,

   Clear these errors first, http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3a%2f%2fwww.marriage-moments.com%2f

   Your feed will most likely work then.

   Hi,

   Check with these options:

   -> Disable all the plugins and enable it one by one to find out the culprit.
   -> Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
   -> Remove all unwanted code from htaccess file of your blog
   -> Change your theme to default in order to rules out theme level problems.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Your feed is here: http://www.marriage-moments.com/feed/

   And it has the "blank line problem": http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html

   Although in your particular case, it's the blank space problem.

   Eliminate plugins, switch to the default theme, make sure you didn't mess up the wp-config.php file.. Find that extra space and remove it.

   Hi Otto42,

   Sorry, but I am really stuck here. I have uploaded a new WP 2.8.4 to another URL. I am using the default theme. I then go to feedburner and try to add the feed, and it tells me:

   Sorry
   This feed does not validate.

   •line 1, column 1: Blank line before XML declaration [help]

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ^

   I have no plugins installed. This is fresh 'out-of-the-box'

   Where is the feed stored? I can't find a file to edit. Is it in the DB?

   Blessings!

   Chuck

   The feed is not "stored" anywhere.

   Did you read this?
   http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html

   It gives a number of places to check for blank spaces. wp-config.php is the most obvious place. Remove the ending ?> from that file, that might fix it.

   I found this solution and used it. It seems to work great. I don't know enough about Wordpress yet to know if there is a better solution or a reason not to use this.
