I'm now seeing light at the end of the tunnel and the only annoying leftover is having renamed ht.access to .htaccess in the Core the News and Security desktop widgets just sit there trying to load ?

Any ideas?]]> gavinbaylis Jul 25, 2018, 04:06 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory?page=2#dis-post-559980 https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory?page=2#dis-post-563715
Turning them off, then back on, manually clearing the cache, and moving the UGM widget above the feed widgets solved it for me (so far).

1. News and Security feeds didn't show any data except the loading message
2. Package manager wasn't able to load a list of packages and displayed the loading message as well.

After some debugging it turned out that the first problem was caused by a missing locale setting. A default locale on my server caused feed processors to generate text with broken UTF-8 characters (apparently, they were produced by the strftime function). MODX wasn't able to encode it as JSON and returned an empty body instead of the expected response. An interesting thing is that neither success nor error handler was triggered by such response on the client side.

This problem was solved by specifying a correct local in settings: System Settings > Lexicon and Language > Locale.
It looks like it solved a problem with the package manager as well.]]> mr.dwand Jan 22, 2019, 12:18 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-563712 https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-563104
I prefer to move the core directory above the web root and rename it as described here: https://docs.modx.com/revolution/2.x/administering-your-site/security/hardening-modx-revolution#HardeningMODXRevolution-core]]> BobRay Dec 05, 2018, 03:32 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-563104 https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-563101
When I changed the URL on both new and security (see Bobs post for system keys) to be https and not http. It all started working.

So I suspect that the https has to match under those rules in the .htaccess]]> aesmith Dec 05, 2018, 02:34 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-563101 https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-561392 markh Sep 05, 2018, 10:55 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-561392 https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-561350
I can turn the feeds off - but that means I might miss important updates like the news about the attacks. How can this be solved?]]> pixelonline Sep 03, 2018, 08:09 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-561350 https://forums.modx.com/thread/104126/no-security-or-news-feed-after-upgrade-to-2-6-5-after-changing-to-htaccess-in-core-directory#dis-post-560066
[Update] I see they are http:// in MODX 2.6.3. Maybe the feed site was rewriting them and is no longer doing so? Upgrades to MODX should definitely change them to https:// (or just //).
