 * When I click on RSS Comments or Feed I receive the following error:
    The XML 
   page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet Only one
   top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource ‘[http://10.60.9.99/blog/wp-rss2.php?fee&#8230](http://10.60.9.99/blog/wp-rss2.php?fee&#8230);
 * <b>Warning</b>: Cannot add header information – headers already sent by (output

 * I tried finding the files containing “feed:” as other posts suggested but that
   did not help. Some mentioned reloading files, but I am unsure as to what files
   to reload.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * I tend to get the “cannot add header information” errors after editing a wordpress
   php file I shouldn’t be messing with lol. It has always been solved by checking
   that there aren’t any extra blank lines at the end of the file. Go back and check
   any of the files you changed and see if there are extra blank lines at the end
   and delete them. Hope that helps.

 * Nope, no blank lines. The thing is when I add the “feed:” back in, the error “
   Page cannot be displayed” appears. Which adds to the confusion of why this doesnt
   work.

 * Providing us with URL would go a long way in helping you. Otherwise, you’ll have
   to wait for the psychics to show up.

 * Sorry I am very new with this, Im hosting the website myself so Im not sure if
   you can access from outside of my network
    [http://10.60.9.99/blog/?feed=rss2](http://10.60.9.99/blog/?feed=rss2)
 * This is it but again Im not sure if it will help.
    It seems I was able to get
   the XML to display but when I put it into SharpReader it returns the error: Error
   parsing RSS XML: Not a valid xml document: The XML declaration is unexpected.
   Line 3, position 3.
 * Thanks in advance

 * You’re right, I can’t access that. Well, basically it sounds like you have one
   or more blank lines at the top of your RSS’s source. So, look through your feed
   related WordPress files (the feed and rss files, the index.php file in your blog
   root and theme, and the header.php file in your theme). If those files have any
   blank lines at the top, delete them. The other thing that may be causing this
   would be plugins. Try deactivating all of your plugins, then check your feed 
   again. Good luck!

 * Thanks for the help, turns out I had to comment out some headers (whatever that
   does???) But it works, which is all that I care about. Thanks for the help.
