    Hi, I am getting the following error while opening the /sitemap.xml page:

    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 1 at column 1: Start tag expected, ‘<‘ not found
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    How to proceed? Thanks

  • Hi, this may occur if there is something else that is generating output that should not be there. It may be a PHP error or even just a blank line and it can come from another plugin or your theme.

    To find out more, you’ll need to temporarily disable all (other) plugins or even switch to a default theme. Or use a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/check-conflicts/ to do this only for yourself, while other visitors will still be able to access the regular site.

    If you can share a link to your sitemap, I might be able to tell you more about the cause (if there is a visible error message for example)…
