Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all doing well. When I open the rank math sitemap, it gives an error.
My sitemap link is https://wowshoots.com/sitemap_index.xml.
The error stated that:
“This page contains the following errors:
error on line 3331 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.”
Please resolve my issue. Thank You!!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The error on your sitemap page suggests there must be some white spaces before the XML Sitemap’s source code.

Please follow this troubleshooting guide to fix that issue:

I hope this helps.

Looking forward to helping you.
