    Hi,

    I am currently using All in one SEO to generate XML sitemaps for my site but i am getting a error:

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
    Line Number 2, Column 1:

    I think i have isolated the possible cause of the problem (the theme)
    When i change to the Twenty Nineteen theme it works fine.

    I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on what to modify in the theme to make it work correctly?
    I am using a child theme to get the site to display how i want it to.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This means there is something output before the XML sitemap, rendering it invalid XML.
    Usually this is a blank space before the opening <?php tags in a file, or a blank space after the closing ?> tag.

    I done a bit of a search before posting and found it could be a ?> in the wp-config.
    I found it & removed it but it still did not work.

    I have found the problem now.

    I enabled the plain theme (that the child uses) and it worked

    I then found in my child theme functions.php i had a ?> at the end.
    I have removed the ?> & it works fine now.

    Thanks.
