 * Hi There
 * I’ve just logged into a clients WordPress site this morning and up popped the
   following messages at the top of the dashboard:
 * **Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: 
   line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, ‘<‘ not found in /home/findyour/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/attitude-pro/library/functions/update_notifier.php on line 
   123**
 * Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Access denied.
   Your IP address [203.170.85.114] is blacklisted. If you feel th in /home/findyour/
   public_html/wp-content/themes/attitude-pro/library/functions/update_notifier.
   php on line 123
 * Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^ in /home/
   findyour/public_html/wp-content/themes/attitude-pro/library/functions/update_notifier.
   php on line 123
 * Is this an issue with the theme that I am using or is it WordPress? Does anyone
   out there know how to fix it? Much appreciated if someone does.
 * Cheers

 * Probably it’s a theme issue. See if you find any such warnings after changing
   to Twenty Twelve theme.

 * Yes, this might be an issue related to your theme file as mentioned in the error
   message. Try another theme or check the code and fix the bug.

 * Hi Krisha and Hakkim
 * Yes, it was a theme issue. I contacted the theme creators and they replaced the
   files.
 * Thanks for your support.
