You have two blank lines at the top of your RSS 2 feed. Try:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

The source of your RSS 2 feed clearly shows two blank lines at the top of the feed.

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

Posted 2 years ago #the link for Rss Feed is in the top Menu.
If i can remove it I'll be happy, but don't know where to find it in the settings. -
It's also embedded in your page header. I'm also seeing the same 2 blank lines at the top of your pages. Did you try deactivating all plugins?

Posted 2 years ago #all plugins deactivated but still working???
all show deactivated in wp-admin/plugins.php but they are actually all active
-
Posted 2 years ago #finally all are off - deactivated, but still unable to get rss to work

Try re-uploading everything from a fresh download of WordPress except your wp-config.php file and the wp-content folder.

Posted 2 years ago #will do - thanks

Posted 2 years ago #re-uploaded everything as suggested - same error
