no XML sitemap when Hide Download Links is activated

    Hello,
    I also get this message:

    The plugin generated 2 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

    And I find it is interferring with WordPress SEO displaying my sitemap. I get this error:

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
    Location: https://askthegreengenie.com/sitemap_index.xml
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?><?xml-stylesheet type=”text/xsl” href=”//askthegreengenie.com/main-sitemap.xsl”?>
    ^

    I think I read somewhere it is caused by extra white space at the beginning of a php file somewhere. I believe that info was on Yoast’ WordPress SEO KB website.

    Any chance there’s an easy fix for this?

    Kind regards,
    Lisa
