    Hi,

    I checked my website’s sitemap and it’s showing error. I’m wondering why it’s not working.
    The error message reads,

    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    Thank you,

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    This sitemap error indicates that there must be some white space before the XML Sitemap’s source code. You can also look at the source code of Sitemap and see there is an extra line before the XML. This is caused by a blank line or space in your wp-config.php or functions.php file.

    Please follow this troubleshooting guide to fix that issue:

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
