 * I get this error in firefox when trying to view my feed.
    [http://www.growingwealthmag.com/?feed=rss2](http://www.growingwealthmag.com/?feed=rss2)
 * XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location:
   [http://www.growingwealthmag.com/?feed=rss2](http://www.growingwealthmag.com/?feed=rss2)
   Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
 * feed validator suggested to:
 * 1. Check your wp-rss2.php and wp-atom.php files for blank lines outside of <?
   and ?> bracketed sections.
 * 2. Check your wp-config.php file for blank lines outside of <? and ?> bracketed
   sections.
 * 3. Check your theme’s functions.php file for blank lines outside of <? and ?>
   bracketed sections.
 * 4. One by one, disable plugins and revalidate until you isolate the one causing
   the problem.
 * I did those things along with deleting blank lines in other php files after the?
   > and I still have that error. Is there a page I am missing that might have a
   blank line?
 * Thanks for your help,

 * Found the answer.
    There was a tab space after ?> in the wp-config.php. I was
   only looking for line breaks.
