This question may be related to a resolved thread.
hello there
i have recently started receiving the following in my rss feed:
Date: 20 July 2011 10:43:09 GMT+01:00
Subject: This feed contains no entries
Source: Blackfield
This feed contains no entries
this has started since the entries have all expired. how can i stop receiving this in the feed?
regards

Hi, furryfrog.
Basically, add newer entries. If something is expired, it shouldn’t be showing. I’m not sure what Blackfield is, though.

Hi furryfrog,
Can you try adding the “show_expired=“yes” ” (sans-quotes) parameter to your {exp:rss:feed}.
So it should look something like
{exp:rss:feed weblog="weblog-name" show_expired="yes"}For more information visit the Feed Parameters Page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

hi there thanks for the replies.
blackfield.org/live is the site address
the expired entries are showing on the web page with strike through as is perfect, however, the feed in the rss feed is empty and users’ are being updated with “this feed contains no entries” daily, which i dont want
regards

Hi furryfrog,
Can you post the relavent part of your feed template here?
NOTE: If there is any proprietary information in the template, please don’t include that here.
Thanks.

Hi furryfrog,
Sorry if I was unclear, can you post the code from your XML RSS template, and not the html template?
Thanks!

Hey furryfrog,
Can you make your second line look like
{exp:rss:feed weblog="{master_weblog_name}" show_expired="yes"}And add
show_expired="yes"{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{master_weblog_name}" limit="10" rdf="off" dynamic_start="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}tag.
Let me know if that works for you.
