    Hi, I just upgraded to 2.3.3 and my rss feed doesn’t work anymore. My feed used to be here, but now I get the following error there.

    XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: https://www.moneymyths.org/blog/feed/
    Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    -^

    Please Help. Thanks.

    Empty/blanks space at the top.
    Can be caused by anything: blank in the file itself, in functions.php (of the theme!), a plugin etc.

    moshu, I tried changing themes and the feed still showed an error. I am using the same plugins as before the upgrade.

    You have the blank line problem.

    See here: https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html

    I found a blank in the wp-feed.php and wp-config.php and removed it in both files. I removed spaces in my functions.php file and I deactivated all plugins.

    I didn’t see a <?xml in any of the files the validator told me to check, though I did find one in the xmlrpc.php file. Should <?xml be in the rss file?

    It shouldn’t. Stick to what it says about the files to check.

    And your feed is NOT where you say it is, but here:
    https://moneymyths.org/?feed=rss2
    and it works
    (you are not using the nice permalinks)
