    Hi Guys,

    Here' the error I am getting while burning feeds through Feedburner:

    "The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 4: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed."
    ---------------------------

    Error on Site Feed Page:

    XML Parsing Error: junk after document element

    Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    ^

    ------------------------------------
    and here's the error while validating feed through feedvalidator.org

    Sorry

    This feed does not validate.

    * line 2, column 0: Undefined root element: div [help]

    <div class="navigation">

    * line 4, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:4:0: junk after document element [help]

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w ...

    In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

    * Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type [help]


    1.
    2. <div class="navigation">
    3. </div><!-- .navigation -->
    4. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">



    Need help from wordpress gurus.
    Thanks!

    Try to deactivate plugins and try again, if it works, activate your plugin one by one till you find which plugin which may cause it.

    Try installing Google XML sitemap plugin and create a Google sitemap for your blog. Then try to burn your feed. "The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file", if XML file is the problem, then using Google Sitemap plugin will solve that.
