   How can I use code for a filter in functions.php to limit the characters/text size in my RSS feeds?

   I am trying to use the following code to show 10 words but it is not working:

   function myFilterShortenRSS($query) {
       if ($query->the_content_rss) {
           $query->set('','','10');
       }
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','myFilterShortenRSS');

   Sorry, anybody know the code to correctly make only the first 10 words show in the RSS feed? Or some way to only show the text before the "more" cut-off?

   Any ideas how to cut the RSS feed down in size?

   I am fairly certain about 2 years ago the RSS feed did stop at the < !-- more -- > tag.... but now the summary continues for many more words... I would like to be able to truncate this to whatever I need to shorten it to.

   Have you looked at this?

   Looks like there's some built-in options to do what you want...

   Just looking into these issues myself, so probably can't offer further help, but thought you might find useful
