# Weird RSS problem

 * Hi,
    I’m having a weird problem with my RSS feeds on [my site.](http://www.playerlifestyle.net)
   The feed is saying “Unknown Feed” and when I go to [http://feeds.feedburner.com/PlayerLifestyle](http://feeds.feedburner.com/PlayerLifestyle)
   I get an error saying “XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external
   entity”. I don’t know what file this error is referencing. I thought it was because
   I changed my theme but when I changed it back to the default one, the rss feed
   problem was still there. Can you please help me or at least point me in the right
   direction? Thanks

 * In glancing at your theme, I see a leading space before the xml begins. I’d think
   that’s the issue.
 * Look through any recently added/upgraded plugins and see if you can locate one
   that has extra space before the opening `<?php` or after the final `?>` (spaces
   or carriage returns).

 * HandySolo….thanks you soooo much!!
    It was a space after the ?> at the end of
   a widget. I deleted every empty line between the code lines and was beginning
   to think it was a malicious attack. Paranoia can really get to you when you’ve
   been up for all night 🙂 Again thanks a lot!
