[Plugin: OptionTree] Problem with importing xml file

Hi Derek,

I’d like to start off by thanking you for taking the time to create such a great plugin. I’m a couple of days away from finishing my latest theme and I have been very impressed with how easy it is to use.

So anyway the problem I have is when I was testing the xml import function. I get an error for some reason.

Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct() [function.SimpleXMLElement---construct]: Entity: line 2: parser error : XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document in D:\Domains\olliemccarthy.com\wwwroot\themes\novocane\wp-content\plugins\option-tree\classes\class.admin.php on line 841

Initially I thought it was because I was using it on localhost but when I tried importing the options into one of my other online WP installations I get the same error.

Any thoughts on what’s going on? I’m not strong in PHP hence the reason I’m using your plugin so any help would be greatly appreciated.
