    Hi! i have found a problem with sitemap.
    I realize a new website, after a little customization and a lot of work to setup everythings in the right way using the coming soon mode, it was time to open to public, but working to conect with search console i have found this problem with sitemap

    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    with no links or other else in the page.
    I Have a multisite with a multilingual plugin, q-translate x, and woocommerce installed.
    I have a booking theme

    I have no other sitemap plugin which can cause conflicts

    Have any idea of what’s wrong?

    thanks

    This happens when something in your WordPress install, either a plugin or your theme, is outputting white space and it shouldn’t.

    The fastest way to find out what is outputting the white space is to run a conflict check. If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts

    Yes… i’ll find it, it’s woo extra fee plugin from prem tiwari, after i have deactivated all plugins, and reactivate one by one, when was the woo extra fee turn, it gave to me an headers error message, testing the sitemap effectively shows the error.

    Now i’ll try to contact prem tiwari for support, but what i have to look for? white space in headers?

    i hope to recover it because its very useful for me…

    thanks amboutwe

    In a lot of cases, it’s a single empty line at the end of a file.

    last line
{blank line}

    instead of

    last line
