    I've got the geocraft theme and so far I'm really pleased with it. One problem though - when trying to access the /feed in firefox it returns this error:

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
    Location: http://www.australianweddingcelebrants.com.au/feed/
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    ^

    My support at Hostgatar gave me the following explanation:
    I have tested this in both Chrome and FireFox. Chrome actually ignores this problem, It appears firefox does not.

    What is happening is that your script that is generating the feed is leaving the first line blank, the "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" should be on line 1 and not line 2.

    Unfortunately, however, this is a scripting problem. HostGator support is unable to provide development assistance in these cases. As it appears to be a wordpress site, most likely the developer of the script can help you find the original problem. Most likely it is a white space found in one of the files.

    Is it possible to fix this problem?

    Thanks!

    Did you managed to fix this issue, when I opened the feeds page using firefox, it opens fine for me. Is this issue still appearing for you ?

    Hi, just checked it and it seems to be working now. Very strange as I don't seem to have altered anything. Anyway, all good now it's working! Thanks!
