 This issue impacts the functions.php file regardless of theme in use, so
 the problem is with the Wordpress core.

 If the functions.php file contains these 2 lines of code, there are no
 problems:

 <?php //code ?>
 <?php //more code ?>

 If the functions.php file contains these 3 lines (2nd line being blank) of
 code:

 <?php //code ?>

 <?php //more code ?>

 The primary RSS feed generated by Wordpress contains invalid XML.
 According to Firefox:

 XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
 Location: http://popjab.com/feed/
 Line Number 2, Column 1:
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
