I am using the more tag to shorten post on my main page. The problem is that it shortens my feed. I just installed the completeRSS plugin for wordpress. How do I tell my feed to update previous post so that the full post is now visible rather than everything before the more tag?
RSS Feeds and WordPress More tag (18 posts)

you don't need a plugin
just set it to show full text in feed here
admin - settings - reading -
Posted 2 years ago #Will previous articles that have posted to my feed be updated? Does it take awhile for feedburner to update? Or does this only apply to new articles?

No
Don't know - find feedburner useless since wp has a great feed
yes -

Posted 2 years ago #Samboll,
seems like you're the guy I need to talk to. How do I set up the "read more..." option on my blog to shorten the posts (and where do the full posts actually end up?) and, did I read your post correctly, that you don't use feedburner because wp has their own? I need to set up an rss feed and thought feedburner was the be all end all.

this will explain the read more fully and give some custom options, also
http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_Morebasically with the read more, you have an excerpt show up on home/index then when click on read more link you are taken to full post (posts are stored in database and assembled dynamically with the browser)
Depending on your permalinks structure, you can find your feed by reviewing this
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds#Finding_Your_Feed_URL
if you are being redirected to feedburner - the wp won't show until you kill the redirect -

Thanks, I've just about got it. The only thing hanging me up with the "read me" is that the "read more of this entry" link isn't live on the home page everything shows up just like I want it to but when I click on the link nothing happens.

can you supply a link?

aahhh...your permalink structure is borked
review this for correct structure

Well it's working. Thanks. Just don't know why??? While wading through the link you gave me, I read something about your pages loading quicker if you start the tag with a number ie. http://www.your domainname/123/postname. And of course having ADHD like I do, I went off to take care of that and changed my customized permalink from /%catagory%/%postname%/ to /%post_id%/%postname%/ and that made the "more..." link work. Very confused but it's working so I'll just remain stupid and happy.
Thanks again -

Posted 2 years ago #hi samboll, i have a question too...
the thing is i want to use the more tag so the images in post will show up in home page. Also the more tag does not show in home.I thought it was because the excerpt was activated, but i already looked at it, and in reading is full text activated.
you think it may be a permalinks problem??? -
Posted 2 years ago #ok i already find the solution to that, but now i wonder if the style of the more tag can be edited...i mean change the size of the font etc

Posted 2 years ago #Samboll,
I tried what you suggested, turned off the rsscomplete plugin and clicked full text instead of summary under the options, but my feeds still only show as summary. I noticed afterwards that when I select full text and click save, wordpress does not allow it and reverts back to summary, any ideas?

Posted 2 years ago #Appears it was the plugin that I didn't completely uninstall, I will let you know when I post today if it works.
