   Been getting the following error
   

   XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
   Location: http://www.mydomain.com/feed/
   Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   ^

   I added:
   

   $out = ob_get_contents();
   $out = str_replace(array("\n", "\r", "\t", " "), "", $input);
   ob_end_clean();

   to feed-rss2.php without any results. working on the other options now...

   Well, still haven't found the error... I do see many XHTML errors, but I do not think they cause the issue, nor would I know how to easily remedy them.

   When I added:
   

   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

   to the .htaccess all feeds just showed empty or blanc pages..

   Help please!

   After I reverted to the old .htaccess version and removed a blanc line there the RSS feeds were working again. If removing the blanc in the .htaccess was what did the trick or the removing of blancs from some files I am not entirely certain, but I bet on the former..

   Sorry, i have the same problem with my rss feed (http://www.paulolyslager.com/feed). Can you tell me where you've removed the blanc line?

   I hope your feed works now?

   cheers

   Ok, fixed the problem and it works in all mentioned browsers... Really weird but really easy... just cleaned my header :)

   I had some blanc lines in there to visually seperate the metatag-lines, rss-lines, blogname-lines, ...

   I hope it works for the other people as well!

   Hmmm, spoke too soon...

   the feedburner link is working... the normal feed (http://www.paulolyslager.com/feed) is still not responding.

   Let me know if someone has an answer!

   ok, i found this article:

   http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2009/05/wordpress-feed-xml-parsing-errors/

   It made me realise that the only php code i changed over the past few weeks was those of the theme files. I found a blanc line in my archive.php.

   Maybe you should those as well!

   @ Paulolyslager In the end it was a Social Bookmarks plugin that caused the problems and after updating it I was able to sove the issue.
