Are you using Internet Explorer (just asking, it looks like the type of Javascript error IE pops up). * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-help-220/#post-4156000) * I just checked with Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7.

You either need to eliminate `hellip` from your feed, or you may need to declare a DocType: * This may explain it a little better than I have: * [“Reference to undefined entity” error in XML file](http://www.alexatnet.com/articles/reference-undefined-entity-error-xml-file) * I also noticed that there is second bit of xml defined at the bottom by Google Site Maps. I don’t think that’s valid. * Have you added any plugins recently? Regardless, you may try disabling your plugins and see if that clears up the problem. * Thread Starter [weiler14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weiler14/) * (@weiler14) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-help-220/#post-4156009) * how do i eliminate hellip or declare a doctype. searched for “…” and deleted all posts that had that * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-help-220/#post-4156010) * How exactly is the feed generated and have you changed anything recently (plugins, etc)? * Thread Starter [weiler14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weiler14/) * (@weiler14) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-help-220/#post-4156011) * I did a plugin update :/ its “Standard XML Sitemap Generator” and “Google XML Sitemaps” * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-help-220/#post-4156014) * Try disabling those plugins.

They replaced it with: * [Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps](http://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-google-xml-sitemaps/) * You just want to make sure whatever plugin you use doesn’t add a second xml document to the end of your xml feed.
