 * I know this may be a long-shot but you never know.
    My rss feed was working but
   I hadn’t checked it for a while and now its not. I am getting the following error:
 * > Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output
   > started at /home/meme/public_html/sailingholiday/wp/wp-blog-header.php:1067)
   > in /home/meme/public_html/sailingholiday/wp/wp-rss2.php on line 19
 * running wp 1.2.1
    Any ideas appreciated

 * You’ve just played with that file 🙂
    Download wp-blog-header.php Open it with
   Notepad or an equivalent Scroll to the end of the file Remove the whitespace 
   after the ?> That should sort it 🙂

 * haha bloody whitespace 🙂
    Thanks podz looks like thats fixed something…but..
   now I’m getting:
 * > XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity

   > Line Number 2, Column 1: `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="' . utf-8 . '"?> ^
 * The comments feed is working but not the main one?
    ps: I removed the whitespace
   at the end of the rss file too but it didnt help this time. 🙁

 * Hmm…here’s the top of my wp-rss2.php
    `<?php if (!isset($feed) || !$feed) { $
   blog = 1; $doing_rss = 1; require('wp-blog-header.php'); } header('Content-type:
   text/xml; charset=' . get_settings('blog_charset'), true); $more = 1; ?> <?php
   echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?'.'>'; ?
   > Yours look the same ? Ah.. this is 1.3 .. check that the xml version line is
   right at the top of the php file.

 * ok..I’ve tried un-doing everything I’ve done in the past week without any luck
   🙂 haha
    I also tried swapping the: `<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"' . $charset.'\"?"."
   >"; ?>` to ` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?'.'
   >';` to se if that would work but it didn’t so I undid that also. I’m sure it
   wont be in the rss files as I havn’t been playing in there .._yet!_ ;D Have to
   go out now but will have another go at it tonight. Thanks podz maybe its time
   for me to upgrade to 1.3 now anyway 🙂

 * Well after many hrs I still havn’t fixed it….its FOOBAR*D 🙂
    I’ve replaced “
   wp-blog-header.php” & “wp-rss2.php” with the originals. The “wp-commentsrss2.
   php” is still working fine (thats whats odd). I also replaced the links in the
   index in case there was something mucked-up in there so thats original now too.
   After all sorts of fixes its still got the Parasing error 🙁 `XML Parsing Error:
   syntax error Location: http://sailingholiday.wiredkiwis.com/wp/wp-rss2.php Line
   Number 1, Column 31:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'. UTF-8 .'"?> this is the 
   out of the box code snip: <?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"' . $charset.'\"?"."
   >"; ?> so I don’t know if this is the problem or if its something I may have 
   in the head of the index? I’ll just keep bashing away but if anyones got ideas
   I’m more than willing to listen 🙂

 * Ok I changed the error line to:
    `<?php echo <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-
   8" ?>` as thats what it looked like it was asking for. It makes the feed work
   but this hasn’t solved it. I now have a non valid xhtml page 🙁 ` No Character
   Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8. Line 5, column 61: there is no attribute"
   charset" ...a http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="UTF-8" >
   </meta> ok back to the beginning and try to solve the MF! great way to learn 
   how it all works eh.
