 * Tumblr Widget has been working fine for about a year but it suddenly started 
   giving errors. I searched google and a lot of people are getting these same errors:
   see [Google results here](https://www.google.com/search?q=tumblr+widget+Warning%3A+simplexml_load_string%28%29+[function.simplexml-load-string]&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-beta).
 * I have been using Tumblr Widget with Widgets on Pages to display the posts within
   the Web page content area but as you can see from the Google search results above,
   many people are getting the same error who are not using it with Widgets on Pages.
 * The errors follow:
 * Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line
   1: parser error : Start tag expected, ‘<‘ not found in /home/leslielevings/beastlies.
   com/wp-content/plugins/tumblr-widget-for-wordpress/tumblr-widget.php on line 
   137
 * Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: 1 in /home/
   leslielevings/beastlies.com/wp-content/plugins/tumblr-widget-for-wordpress/tumblr-
   widget.php on line 137
 * Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^ in /home/
   leslielevings/beastlies.com/wp-content/plugins/tumblr-widget-for-wordpress/tumblr-
   widget.php on line 137`
 * I’ve made the page with the error password protected: the password is ‘gabrielroth’
   and the page is [http://www.beastlies.com/hometest/](http://www.beastlies.com/hometest/)
 * Would greatly appreciate any fix and happily donate money for it, really love
   this widget. Thanks so much.

 * I’m still unable to duplicate this problem. Could you send me an email at gabe.
   roth at gmail? If you’d give me access to your WordPress installation it might
   help me figure out what’s going on.
