You can’t really see it until you check in a XML validator * [https://codebeautify.org/xmlvalidator](https://codebeautify.org/xmlvalidator) * Click the “load URL” and past your XML URL in there. You will see in the text red dot’s those are the errors. * I think it is because you have copy paste the description text from some kind of program making the text have weird characters (white space). * Remove the red dots with a normal space in the xml validator and validate again. You will see it is validating correctly. * So make sure you have corrected your text in your product descriptions. * Thread Starter [romandaily1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romandaily1/) * (@romandaily1) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-formatting-error-2/#post-11214984) * Hello Auke * Thank you very much for your help. * That was the mistake, now it works perfectly. * Plugin Author [AukeJomm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aukejomm/) * (@aukejomm) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-formatting-error-2/#post-11214990) * Hello [@romandaily1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romandaily1/), * Great it is working now. * I will close this ticket and set it to resolved.
