    Hi I am getting the sitemap error –
    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.

    I have narrowed it down to the theme and although I found a blank line at the end of the wp-config.php this did not solve the issue.
    I do not see any obvious issues in the site templates and need your help to get things working.
    Thank you
    Andy Mason

    Hello,

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

    I just fixed it for you. In your parent theme (“wordpress-bootstrap-master”), at the end of the functions.php file, you had two empty lines.

    I deleted them, saved the changes and now your sitemap is working. Could you check it?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
