    Solved by deleting and re-installing.

    It’s back, but with a different message:

    XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
    Location: http://blog.skemaholicsanonymous.com/feed/
    Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    ^

    Again, not sure what I did but it seems to be me breaking things.
    Possibly because I am adding new plugins.

    Solved in same way. Deleted via ftp reinstalled via plug in menu.

    Ok, haven’t played with plug-ins and the error is back. 🙁
    All I did was add a new post.

    Ran through http://validator.w3.org/feed/ with buddypress disabled and it was valid.
    Ran through with buddypress enabled and got this:

    Sorry

    This feed does not validate.

    line 1, column 1: Blank line before XML declaration

    If I knew where the white space was I would delete it, but I’m lost here. 🙁

    Resolved!
    Operator error.
    bp-custom.php had the white space.

    I think I’m having the same problem but you seem to have far more server-end know-how than I do, so if you were lost…

    Any advice or head start you can give me and the lucky IT guy I find to help me find out why all the RSS feeds are broken (dashboard and front-end)? Looking for white space in bp-custom.php?

    bp rss feeds can definitely be erratic, we are working on it:
