Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up a RSS feed for my wordpress blog but I keep getting the following message at feedburner

"The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 2: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed."

I've been trying to sort this out for about a week now but I'm completely lost, I've searched for ino but just have no idea how to do it
#issue #rss or feedburner

    Are you using the feed that wordpress already sets. Once you add the feed you then replace the link on your site.

    wordpress feed will look like this yourdomain.com/feed

    Another possibility is that your site has been hacked.

    Check the main index.php from the WP root for any lines/script that doesn't belong there; try to replace it with a fresh one.

    That's great... however when others will search the forum with similar issues, they will never know what the solution was. Too bad...
