    Hi Folks,

    Could someone help me fix this vexing issue with the rss feed xml parsing error below? I’ve spend too much time trying to troubleshoot it on my own. 

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: https://www.denisejacksonmusic.com/feed
Line Number 6, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
^

    I read https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/rss-feed-isnt-working-xml-parsing-error?replies=14 but I’ve got WP 3.3.1. I read about the blank line error at https://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html and check the following files for blank spaces after the ?> tag.

    wp-includes/feed.php
    /feed-rss2.php
    /feed-rss2-comments.php
    /feed-rss.php
    /feed-rdf.php
    /feed-atom.php
    /feed-atom-comments.php
    /rss.php
    /wlwmanifest.xml
    /functions.php

    wp-content/themes/denise/config.inc.php
    /functions.php

    I’d like to know which .php file is being referenced by the error code. All of the feed files above have the xml declaration in them.

    Done. wp-admin, wp-includes, all .php files uploaded from fresh WordPress 3.3.1 install.

    Error establishing a database connection…

    I did a backup of wp-admin and wp-includes folders but not the .php files in the root folder. Do I have to reconnect the MySQL database in the webhost control panel?

    I just placed a request to tech support to restore the wp-config.php file in the root folder of my WordPress install.

    Hi esmi,

    I forgot about the wp-config.php file — my bad. You and your friend have been up all night helping me resolve this issue. And I see that you’re in the UK — you’re really dedicated to WordPress and helping folks ??

    It may take the webhost 24 mins or 2 hrs or 12 hours to restore the wp-config.php file for me. I’m in the USA and I’ll be back at this tomorrow.
