<p><strong>Whitespace Fixer for XML Sitemap</strong> is a lightweight plugin that automatically removes unwanted spaces or blank lines before the XML declaration (<code><?xml version="1.0" ... ?></code>) in your WordPress output.</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CvXXCGxMTqk?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></p>
