    line 84, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:86:61: junk after document element

    I am not sure how to go about fixing the error above, which is apparently preventing my Feedburner feeds. This error still appears after having deactivated plug-ins and then re-activating one by one.

    Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

    This is the junk that follows the closing tag in your feed

    <!-- [6589eddf0c06d6c97466b8bb5389aed7 --><!-- 0684252521 --><div style="overflow:auto; visibility:hidden; height: 1px; "><ul><li><a href="http://2309h34b34b34b.cc/sl">.</a></li></ul></div><!-- 6589eddf0c06d6c97466b8bb5389aed7] -->

    I'm not an expert on the subject but it seems possible either your site was hacked, or you are using a theme that was delivered with hidden links in the footer. Open up your theme's footer.php file and see if there is any strange code at the end. Some of those themes have several hundred lines of blank spaces at the end of what you see - you have to scroll way down to the end.

    The feed is picking that code up and causing the problem. It's not supposed to be there in the first place.

    That looks horribly like a hack to me. The following is being inserted at the bottom of your pages:

    <!-- [6589eddf0c06d6c97466b8bb5389aed7 --><!-- 0684252521 --><div style="overflow:auto; visibility:hidden; height: 1px; "><ul><li><a href="http://2309h34b34b34b.cc/sl">.</a></li></ul></div><!-- 6589eddf0c06d6c97466b8bb5389aed7] -->
