    I am getting errors using RSS readers on my site. I have my RSS blog site feed going through to my business website also and noticed today there is an error on that feed. I have therefore gone and checked the RSS feed through feedvalidator.org and received errors.

    1st Error is shown here: https://snag.gy/K0FxbQ.jpg

    I then tried deactivating all plugins to see if this resolved it. It did not but gave a different error:
    ***************************************************
    Sorry

    This feed does not validate.

    line 1, column 1: Blank line before XML declaration [help]

    It shows line 1 is empty, then line 2 is the XML declaration.
    ***************************************************
    I then switched to the Twenty Seventeen theme and it was resolved. I ran the feedvalidator again and it validated. I have switched my theme back on and again now get the same errors.

    I am using the Focus Pro Theme.
    Is anyone able to assist with how I fix this?
