   Today I transferred my WP installation to a new server. Everything seemed to go well. However, I am getting an error with the RSS Widget. The error is XML error: Reserved XML Name at line 2, column 38

   I have checked my wp-config.php file to ensure there are no blank lines at the end of the file. Curiously, there was no closing ?> but I'm not sure if that is relevant to this problem or not. It didn't make any difference whether the ?> was there or not.

   Any ideas what might be causing this error? I don't really even know which files I should be checking or what I am to look for.

   It isn't relevant to your problem. In fact, it's not a problem at all.

   Is this an issue with your RSS feed? If so, a link to your site might help.

   Upon further inspection it appears the XML error was a combination of two things... WP 2.9.2 and a several versions old plugin (All In One SEO Pack). Upgrading the plugin made the error go away.

   So for me this is solved.

   Bumping this one!

   I've done a "package" of wp-sites/blogs for a company.
   All of them are updated to the latest version of WP, and all the plugins are updated.

   Take a look at: http://www.marialangen.se/ it should display the RSS feed of "Sverredal & Langen" with the adress: http://www.svelan.se/?feed=rss

   This is not working as you can see.
   What I've done so far:

   I've turned off all the plugins on svelan.se, and suddenly the feed started to work on some of the other wordpress-sites, for example: http://www.krisinstitutet.se/

   But on http://www.marialangen.se/ and http://www.dromwebben.se/ it still dosnt work.

   I've looked for blank rows in my wp-config, function.php.

   If I try to validate the RSS feed it says: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.svelan.se%2F%3Ffeed%3Drss

   So it looks like the first empty row is causing this?
   Any more ideas about where to search?
