Wordpress yoast bug

Yoast sitemap error

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 5 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.

The page I need help with: https://cheapwebhostpro.com/blog/sitemap_index.xml

There are 4 blank lines of whitespace beginning the document.
These need to be removed, with the declaration on the first line.

in which file please specify

The error usually happens due to extra spaces before <?xml. Try:

  1. Removing any extra spaces in functions.php or plugins.
  2. Disable and re-enable Yoast to regenerate the sitemap.
  3. Clear your cache and test again.
