RSS Doesn’t Work – XML Parsing Error

Fellas, I’m getting an XML Parsing Error as well.
https://woomeover.com/blog/feed/

According to FeedValidator, it seems to be related to the blank line problem:
https://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwoomeover.com%2Fblog%2F

As recommended, I checked all the files mentioned in this post and removed all blank lines:
https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html

When I switch to the default theme, the RSS feed seems to work fine. How should I go about fixing this?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

hi. i had this error code in the feed validator result:

This feed does not validate.

* line 182, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:182:0: junk after document element [help]

Same problem here…

Did all the steps mentioned above and nothing…

Funny how nobody has a solution for this one

I also had this problem, but I checked code in ALL my pages, and found a single blank line at the end of the index.php of the theme directory.

My advice…check ALL theme and main files for blank lines outside of the php tags.

I just checked every single file on my serv and no changes

this is what I get from w3c feed validator

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

    *

      line 1, column 1: Blank line before XML declaration [help]

           ^

    *

      line 38, column 2: Undefined entry element: thr:total (20 occurrences) [help]

          		<thr:total>0</thr:total>
            ^

I found the blank line in the “wp-feed.php” file — it was at the very end — highlight all the space after the last “?>” and delete it.

I had the same blank space but after fixing it nothing happened…

Same broken feeds…

=(

If there is any feed expert please let me know… I wish there was a plugin that checks every file for blank spaces

I’m having the same trouble:
Checked every php file I can find for the extra spaces and no luck.

Tried removing all plugins and switching back to default theme, but no luck.

EDIT: I suspect this might have something to do with Permalinks not being the default. The RSS link is currently going to https://www.abletonartists.com/feed/ because Permalinks are set to ‘Day And Name’ (second option down in WP). My htaccess is writable though and I even updated it the manual way. The permalinks on posts etc. were fine – how can I kickstart the feed?

If plugins and themes didn’t do it, be sure to also check wp-config.php. Remember, not just spaces but empty lines as well. Nothing should be before the opening <?php nor after the file’s final ?>

Trust me i’ve gone through EVERY php file (see edit above though).

Weird thing was though – every file had an extra line after the closing ?> – why would this be? I didn’t open or edit any of these files and uploaded them as is from the default download.

I spent countless hours looking for blank lines and deleting a few here and there.

Then I noticed that the links to my RSS feeds were being generated as https://pepperspray.me/feed/ (notice the trailing slash at the end). In order for the feed to work correctly, it should be generated as https://pepperspray.me (no trailing slash at the end).

I went into my admin, and checked out my permalink settings. I removed the trailing slash from my custom permalink structure, and voila! My feed works like a charm now.

I don’t know if this helps you out or not, but it worked wonders for me.

Correction:

The last sentence of the second paragraph should read:

In order for the feed to work correctly, it should be generated as https://pepperspray.me/feed (no trailing slash at the end).

Sorry ’bout that.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion.

I did have trailing slash, and updated my permalinks accordingly – but no luck. ??

What about something like this

Let me know what you think

I checked alls the files,,, but nothing.. the problem is the customize permalinks plugin… check it.. i found a blank at the end
