Having problems converting a book using sigil.

"The following file was not loaded due to invalid content or not well formed XML:

/** GB Publishing **/Box Set - xxxxxx - Books 1 to 3/ebook/xxxxxx_14_06_21.html (line 1864: Namespace prefix 'epub' not declared)

Try setting the Clean Source preference to Mend XHTML Source Code on Open and reloading the file.

There's nothing on line 1864 apart from a block of text in <p> tags.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with my footnotes links. However, I coded these exactly as it says to do so on Amazon's guidelines.

Here is an example from the book:

Code:

<sup><a id="S-ch0-1" href="#ch0-1" epub:type="noteref">1</a></sup>

Code:

    <aside id="ch0-1" epub:type="footnote">
        <p><a epub:type="noteref" href="#S-ch0-1">¹</a> ### <a href="https:###">###</a></p>
    </aside>

I have used Amazon's Kindle Publishing Guidelines Preferred method for footnotes

Code:

<p>This footnote example uses the aside element with the epub:type attribute and bi-directional hyperlinks.<sup><a id="source" href="#ft-1-1" epub:type="noteref">1</a></sup></p>
...
<aside id="ft-1-1" epub:type="footnote">
<p><a epub:type="noteref" href="#source">1.</a> This is the footnote text, which should be placed at the end of the chapter or book.</p>

Also worth noting is I have already converted all of the books in this box set individually using sigil with no problems at all. so I can't work out what the error is.

Any ideas what my next step could be here?

Thank you.
