Please check your email in a few minutes.

OK, you do have one additional problem going on here. That is mod_security. Can your host turn that off for you? Otherwise there is an .htaccess setting you can use to turn it off.

checking on that now…if you could send the .htaccess setting in the meantime?

and is that going to present a security risk for me?

Please work with your host to turn it off, they should be able to tell you if and how that is possible. Since EE is very meticulous in checking data input etc. this is not a security issue.

they said they can’t turn it off entirely, but can whitelist some processes, etc.

guess I’ll need to know what to whitelist.

I am afraid we cannot offer much support in terms of server configuration. My advice would still be to disable it completely, or at least for your domain. If that is not an option it would probably be necessary to take a look at the logfiles, see which rule is triggered, and why, and configure an appropriate exception. You’ll definitely want to work with your host on this.

On a somewhat personal note, I consider mod_security more trouble than it’s worth.

so are you guys saying that mod_security is the problem?

why are the other feeds working?

just wondering…

Let’s see if we can find anything in the logs to see if mod_security is giving us a false positive.  Do you have access to logs?  If not, can you ask your host if they can see if you are triggering it?

host says there aren’t any mod sec rules that would affect it and they aren’t seeing anything…

Doy,

I had another look around as it bugged me you already had another feed working.
It turns out if you have entries in the future you will need to update the exp:rss tag along with the weblog tags to have a parameter of show_future_entries=“yes”

{exp:rss:feed weblog="{master_weblog_name}" show_future_entries="yes"}

Regardless, the mod_security is still a recommended issue to tackle. If it doesn’t affect you or your set-up right now then you can leave it alone for now if you want.

Aaaaaaand we have a WINNER!!!

Worked like a charm!

I REALLY REALLY appreciate you guys hanging in like this. Expression Engine has such a great support community!

Thanks A TON!!

Yay for John!! Forest for the trees and all that. But he’s right—get the mod_security thing fixed too.

what do I do if it’s not triggering anything and the host is telling me it isn’t causing any problems?

are there specific things that mod sec can break in EE?

What I saw when I visited your site, that when I attempted to click View Rendered Template, the link that normally works didn’t. I had to redo the link to get to the new page.

If that’s still an issue, see the link I posted to which shows you how to get around that problem.

Does that help?
