   I am using a WP theme that does not allow you to use the excerpt function for your RSS feed - if you have an excerpt it is automatically displayed on your blog instead of the post content. I'd like to change this but don't know how!

   Here is the line that I think needs to be changed:

   <?php if(has_excerpt()) { the_excerpt(); }else{ the_content(custom_readmore()); } ?>

   Do you know how to change this so that I can use the excerpt for my RSS & email subscriptions without the excerpt appearing on the front page? The theme also uses WP thumbnails so currently none of my intro images are showing up in my feeds. :(

   Thank you for your time!

   I think this will work for the excerpt:

   <?php if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
      the_content(custom_readmore());
   } elseif(has_excerpt()) {
      the_excerpt();
   }else{
      the_content(custom_readmore());
   } ?>

   Don't know about the thumbnail problem.

   Thanks for your reply! I ended up using the snippet below and that fixed everything:
   

   <?php the_content(custom_readmore()); ?>
