# Simplexml Error Warning

 * I encountered the 3 below warning messages on my WordPress dashboard, and I can’t
   seem to find the root of the problem for any. The site seems to be running fine
   from my end, but I’m not sure how to resolve them. I recently updated to PHP 
   7.0 and the latest version of WordPress, but the error messages appeared well
   before then. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
 * Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected,‘

 * Cab you up your php version to 7.3?
 * Also run [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) to see if
   it throws back anything.

 * HostGator is only giving me the option for up to 7.1. No 7.3. I”ll try running
   a Health Check. Thanks!

 * Got it. 7.3 would be best since that’s the direction everything is headed.
 * The culprit is this VK Core plugin throwing the error. I’m not sure, is it [this](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vk-all-in-one-expansion-unit/)
   one?
 * I’d just disable it for now. Is this error showing in the backend only? I didn’t
   see it in the front anywhere.
 * My wife’s a makeup artist too. 😁
