    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 are some extra lines before the XML. This is caused by blank lines or spaces 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.
