My blog at jasonswadley.com is only giving summaries in the RSS and atom feeds, rather than the full text. I have the option for "Full Text" selected in the Reading settings box. The feedburner plugin is deactivated.
Thanks for your help!

I had trouble with this recently too, it more than likely has something to do with the feed address your using.
Have you looked at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
I checked all the feed links... they're all giving me the same summary view.

http://www.jasonswadley.com/feed
Etc.

Sorry then, I'm a bit lost too. Mine happened when I switched from blogger.

Anyone else have any ideas?
Your feed does include the full post. Whether the full post is displayed in your feed reader is another matter entirely and completely beyond the control of WordPress.

Actually esmi, the feed doesn't include the full post. I've checked in numerous readers, and the result is always the same.
The problem is with the feed itself, not the readers.
All of these posts are Aside formats, by the way, though I don't think that should change anything.
I actually checked the raw rss file. The posts are there in full. Have a look at the source of the feed file yourself.

Thanks esmi, that's useful!
So why is every feed reader I've tried drawing on what's in the <description> tag rather than the actual content? Here's the output of one post:
<item>
<title>Harvey Mansfield on the humanities</title>

</item>I can't account for what the feed readers choose to display. Nor can WordPress control that. Sorry :-(

Thanks esmi, but this is pretty clearly a problem with wordpress - there was one point when I checked the feeds and it was working, and now it isn't.
The readers can only display what wordpress tells them to display, and for whatever reason there's an issue between the two.
Any other ideas anyone?

Bump for help. Hunting around the forums, I know I'm not the only one with similar issues. Thanks!

Not to sound desperate... but I'm desperate. Would reinstalling help? That seems messy.
The full feed was showing, but now it's not, and I can't for the life of me identify the cause of the change.

I'm having the same problem since I installed the last WordPress update a few days ago. I was publishing a full feed and it changed to summaries. My Feedburner account is set to full feed and so it the WordPress setting. Any help?
Posted 11 months ago #
I've still had the same issue with all the updates... I've tried everything I know.
Maybe it's a botched installation? I haven't had the heart to delete and reinstall.

I just installed 3.2 and I'm still having the same problem, as you can see here:

Your feed file is showing the full post. Either check the source of the feed file yourself or see http://pastebin.com/wYyYm93a

Thanks esmi.
I just checked every available RSS reader. Safari is getting the full feed, but every other browser and reader app and even Google Reader is should the summary feed.
That tells me it's not something on my computer's end. Your pastebin post, along with the Safari success, tells me the full feed is at least getting out.
So that seems to narrow the problem to something about the RSS feed not producing a widely readable result.
I checked the feedburner feed, and sure enough, just where you would expect the full post, there's only gunk. See line 23 here: http://pastebin.com/1MyT7q1k
Your pastebin post, along with the Safari success, tells me the full feed is at least getting out.
As I've tried to explain, that's pretty much all the WP can do. What happens when the feed is picked up is beyond your control a lot of the time. You might want to see if you can get any joy out of Feedburner support - especially since you now have 2 pastebin source snapshots taken within minutes of each other for them to compare.
I am sorry that we can't help you further as I know this has been going on for a while and you must be getting really frustrated about it. I've tried validating your feed and apart from 1 very minor issue, it's valid.
I really don't know what else to suggest.
