RSS Problem

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    Greetings all :)

    I installed my bbPress forums (http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation) about 2 weeks ago. I have also added many plugins to it - and everything seems to be just peachy.

    However, I now have a problem with my RSS Feeds. I am getting the following error in Mozilla Firefox:

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation/rss/forum/news-and-announcements
Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-^

    I have replaced all the RSS files with the originals just in case the were corrupted - with no luck.

    To see an example, go to this topic and click on the RSS link at the bottom right:

    It looks like there's an extra space at the beginning of your feed?

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    I have searched through the rss.php file - and I could not figure out how to remove that extra space.

    Do you perhaps know how it can be done?

    I just had a look at rss2.php in my template's directory, and the layout seems to be okay there.

    Similar issues have been reported by plugins having extra spaces at the end of 'em:

    Try deactivating your plugins and see if the issue resolves itself... if so, then activate one plugin at a time until the XML error pops up again!

    Will give that a try - I can see very well how that kind of thing would happen.

    Wish me luck - I have 43 plugins. :)

    Will let you know. :)

    I had 6 plugins with extra spaces - some more than one space.

    It seems to be working just fine now. Thank you. :)
