page-sitemap.xml not rendering…

Edit: I’ll leave this here in case others have similar issues. For me, I just installed advanced Database cleaner, and ran through all the jobs deleting any “orphan tables” and it fixed the problem. Don’t know which table exactly… but yeah, fixed.

Strange one, I notice others having similar issues but it is always based on a space at the front of their source code. For them though, changing themes fixes it (or at least proves that is the problem, to begin with)

For me, going into troubleshooting mode, (so everything disabled and original theme active) I still have the same problem. Adding to the strangeness, the post sitemap works, and all other sitemaps, it’s just the page sitemap that errors. I have added the URL to this problem sitemap in the sensitive data below

The exact error, reads: This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1014 at column 8: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Then is followed by loads of “Elementor” code.

Help please 🙂
