Since I installed Q&A 1.3.3, my RSS feeds dont work anymore... What can I do ?

Question

The result, if I type directly the URL in the adress bar (http://www.wikidee.net/?qa=feed/questions.rss) of the browser is :

 

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 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 tried to reinstall the previous version (1.3) of qa-feed.php, with the same results...  

Thanx for your help.

A Validator says it's a parsing error :

 

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

• line 1, column 1: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:1: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2. <rss version="2.0">

Answer 1

This is due to a UTF-8 BOM (byte-order mark) at the start of qa-util-string.php - I've re-uploaded version 1.3.3 with a fixed version of this file, which you should use to replace your current qa-util-string.php file.

Thanks a lot Giddeon !  I'll download the new file.  By the way, you remind me I was supposed to send you the French translation...
