Invalid xml declaration

I just installed Joomlacomment 3.26 on my site, and the only changes I made were to the css to give it a dark background, and the language to change the text on the Send button to Submit.

When I tried to test it I keep getting a popup with an error about an "Invalid xml declaration."

Here's what the popup says:



error is line 3 position 3 >>ml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><post><id>5</id><after>-1</after><published>1</published><noerror><debug></debug><body><![CDATA[

Looked around and found the code in comment.class.php starting on line 1223

           $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>';

           $xml .= '<post>';

           $xml .= '<id>' . $item['id'] . '</id>';

           if ($this->_tree && isset($item['after'])) $xml .= '<after>' . $item['after'] . '</after>';

            $xml .= '<published>' 	. $item['view'] 	. '</published>';

            $xml .= '<noerror>' 	. $item['noerror'] 	. '</noerror>';

            $xml .= '<debug>'		. $item['debug'] 	. '</debug>';

            if ($item['view']) {

	            $html = JOSC_utils::cdata(JOSC_utils::filter($this->encodeData_Charset($this->insertPost($item, ''))));

    	        $xml .= "<body>$html</body>";

I just can't figure out where the error is. Can anyone possibly give me a hand on this one please.
