    text
    copied!<p>I have an RSS feed that should include any posts that do not have any of these attributes:</p> <ol> <li>A tag "conferencebox"</li> <li>A category "Appearances"</li> <li>A category "Appearances_Archive"</li> </ol> <p>That is... any one of those qualities means it shouldn't be in the RSS feed.</p> <p>I tried this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;MTEntries category="NOT Appearances AND NOT Appearances_Archive" tag="NOT @conferencebox" lastn="15"&gt; </code></pre> <p>but I get this error:</p> <pre><code>Publish error in template 'RSS': Error in &lt;mtEntries&gt; tag: You have an error in your 'category' attribute: NOT Appearances AND NOT Appearances_Archive </code></pre> <p>When I reduce it to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;MTEntries category="NOT Appearances" tag="NOT @conferencebox" lastn="15"&gt; </code></pre> <p>it works as expected (I get the Appearances_Archive posts) but the others are excluded.</p> <p>I've tried renaming the category so that it doesn't have a "_" in it, but that doesn't fix the problem.</p> <p>If I change it to:</p> <pre><code> &lt;MTEntries category="NOT Appearances AND NOT appearancesarchive" tag="NOT @conferencebox" lastn="15"&gt; </code></pre> <p>I don't get an error, but the RSS feed still includes the "appearancesarchive" posts.</p> <p>This also doesn't get an error, but doesn't not produce an RSS feed as I want:</p> <pre><code> &lt;MTEntries category="NOT (Appearances OR appearancesarchive)" tag="NOT @conferencebox" lastn="15"&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried various combinations of CamelCase, lowercase, with and without "_". No luck.</p> <p>Versions: Movable Type Pro version 5.2.3 with: Community Pack 1.92, Professional Pack 1.72</p>
