 * In my latest theme the RSS feed is not working and is giving me the error of:
 *     ```
       XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
       Location: http://localhost/wordpress/?feed=rss2
       Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       ^
       ```
   
 * I have not come across this line of code while making my new theme, and would
   like to sort it out, but i can’t when i don’t know where it is. I have checked
   all the filed i have edited and the line is not in any of them and i wouldn’t
   have deleted it from another file, so i guess some of my new ones should have
   it in?
 * Thanks,
 * Luke.

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress
   1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to rule-out a
   theme-specific issue.

 * Well i have no plugins activated, and i am pretty sure it is my theme that is
   doing something wrong because the default themes work as i tested it before. 
   Also when i click on something like delete comment in the back end the page just
   goes blank and i have to press back and refresh to do anything.
 * No idea what i have done wrong 🙁

 * Try reinstalling the theme from a clean (unedited) copy.

 * How do you mean? i have made the theme from scratch so i dont really have a ‘
   clean’ copy of it.

 * In that case I wouldn’t know where to start beyond the fact that the theme is
   causing the problem.
