Question Trying to fix an "XML Parsing Error" that is showing with a fresh install

daviddmf: This topic was started 7 months ago and it would seem that the issue was somehow resolved. Please read the posting guidelines printed at the top of this page. It is unlikely to see issues like this remain for seven months and for those circumstances to not have changed.

To help us better understand your current circumstances, please see What information should I include when I ask for help (including how to post my configuration report)? Thank you.

Thank you Sozzled. Well it may be an old thread but yesterday my coder tried to follow the instructions on this thread as well as the other related topic and all he got was an error 500 instead.

So I post here all the relevant info which I hope will help get me closer to resolving this bug.

ERROR MESSAGE when accessing the forum remains the same: XML Parsing Error at 1:7593. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)

I hope you can help as it looks pretty unsightly to have that error message splashed across the page.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section!

any suggestions or help would be deeply appreciated.

Please read what I have written to you before. We need to see your K 1.6 configuration report. My earlier message explains how to go about doing that.

My apologies Sozzled.

See PM. You have software that needs to be updated, a database that needs to be looked at and a Joomla menu that is extremely complicated. These are just the things that I've concluded from your configuration report.
