    My blog is at http://www.knowitalldiva.com and resolves to http://knowitalldiva.com

    Everything works great except for the RSS. If you go to the bottom left of the screen and click on the RSS image you are taken to –
    http://knowitalldiva.com/?feed=rss2

    The error is –
    Invalid xml declaration.
    Line: 2 Character: 3

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

    In my file wp-rss2.php I have the following code –

    <?php
    /**
    * Outputs the RSS2 feed XML format using the feed-rss2.php file in wp-includes
    * folder. This file only sets the feed format and includes the feed-rss2.php.
    *
    * This file is no longer used in WordPress and while it is not deprecated now.
    * This file will most likely be deprecated or removed in a later version.
    *
    * The link for the rss2 feed is /index.php?feed=rss2 with permalinks off.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */

    if (empty($wp)) {
    require_once(‘./wp-load.php’);
    wp(‘feed=rss2’);
    }

    require (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/feed-rss2.php’);

    ?>

    likely causes
    blank line at start or end of wp-config.php
    blank line at start or end of plugin file (this happens a lot)
    blank line at start or end of theme’s function.php or other file

    Check your wp-rss2.php and wp-atom.php files for blank lines outside of <? and ?> bracketed sections.

    Ok.. i totally just screwed it up (I thought it would be wise to do a find and replace to remove blank line #1’s, that didn’t work so well lol) and can’t even get to the admin now 🙂 Thanks for your suggestions though, after I do a complete reinstall I will reference your comment if I continue to have this issue. Thanks.
