    Hi,

    I’m getting a weird error related to the sitemap:

    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 2 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.

    Any idea how to fix and what the problem is?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    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.
