David, I’m not sure whether this is the same problem. I’ve been going through the forums in wordpress and haven’t been able to find a solution for this. It might have started about a week ago. I’m using feedburner. Other tools for reading the feed have no problem. Nevertheless, when I try to validate, I get this:

line 43, column 1: Missing enclosure attribute: length (6 occurrences) [help]

^

line 212, column 71: XML parsing error: :212:71: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]

what’s in 43 reads like this:
#

and 212 looks like this:

do u have any suggestions?

thanx in advance

Hi David,
In the post you said “turned them off. ” But in a comment to Sean you said deactivating was not suffient. Could you clarify?

I’ve been trying to determine which plugin it could be, but I’ve not added a new one. I did delete some though and turn some on and off this week. I’ve checked all the relevant files in c-panel for extra spaces. So far, no clue.

Would you be willing to name the plugin culprit via email just in case it’s the same one?

And… fixed! I had a few extra lines in my functions.php file when I changed our feed to feedburner. Thanks again!

Thank you for the quick response David

I switched to the default theme and it worked! I’ll go over each theme file carefully again. Really appreciate it!

Sean, I just looked at your site, this error is on every page, just look at the source on the home page, you will see 4 blank lines. This leads me to believe it is in the Theme files. One way to test, select the Classic Theme, and preview it to see if there are blank lines in a different theme.

Sean, make sure to check ALL plugins, including ones that are not active. Also, if you still have this problem it is most likely the same issue, in one or more of the Theme files.

Appreciate this! But unfortunately, I’m having the same problem. I went through every single .php file in all my plugins and couldn’t find a thing

TheYoungGuy, your problem sounds more like a permissions issue. I have never ran across that error before, but I will certainly look into it.

Maybe I just don’t understand, but is this why when I try to update a plugin it gives me an error stating “blah blah/blah/blah can’t be created”, “update failed”?

It happens with all plugins, not matter what.

Just curious…
