    Hi Gwen,

    You have a couple of hidden (zero-width) non-breaking space characters (U+FEFF) appearing before the sitemap, and that’s what’s causing it to break. Make sure none of the files in your WordPress installation (core files, theme files, plugin files, etc.) have been tampered with or corrupted, it’s likely these characters have been appended to the end of a PHP file that’s running in your WordPress installation.

    Ok, do you have an example of false or corrupted file? This will help me to find .. thank 😉

    Unfortunately this is pretty hard to detect; if you’re familiar with using grep on the command line, you can do this:

    grep -rn '\xFEFF' *

    no I do not know grep, but I’ll find out.
    Thank you for your support;)
