We want to truncate the posts themselves, not provide a tag that allows users to view the full post on our site. The more tag is simply a way to split a post and force the reader to click through to view the rest of it while remaining on our site. The OP (and I) seems to want to only post an excerpt to the WordPress database and not include more than that. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/281946#post-1216984 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:54:00 +0000 DavidSpeaks 1216984@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I had the same problem/challenge. It's so simple it's almost embarrassing! It's the "more" tag.

If you can use it maybe you can tell me how to, as well, since I have been looking for a way for all posts fetched from my syndication list to automatically be excerpts with a link to "read more" which points to the original source's blog post.</p> <p>Link to original source of info:<br /> <a href="http://techgeneration.net/2008/01/21/aggregating-blogs-with-feedwordpress/">http://techgeneration.net/2008/01/21/aggregating-blogs-with-feedwordpress/</a></p> <p>Here's the short/long of it</p> <blockquote><p>And imported excerpts instead of the full content with a link to read the original (in feedwordpress.php):</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;post[&#39;post_content&#39;] = strip_tags($excerpt).’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=”_blank” href=”‘.$this-&gt;item[&#39;link&#39;].’” &gt;[Read original &amp;rarr;]&lt;/a&gt;’</code></pre> ; </p></blockquote> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/281946#post-1184100 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:29:33 +0000 Koztoujours 1184100@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, two months after, I still haven't find a solution.

I am working on a new site, and wish to use feedwordpress. But I am bothered by one problem : I don't see anywhere the possibility to truncate de feed. I do not want to publish the entirety of the articles. </p> <p>Do you know how to do that ?</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/</a> </p>
