    Hi,

    We're using the excerpt field to write post summaries and we would like to have these summaries in the RSS feed instead of the first 50 words of the posts.

    Which file should I modify and what hack would you suggest?

    Maybe there's already a plugin that does that?

    Thanks,

    I now see that the RSS feed uses the_excerpt_rss() function and that function uses get_the_excerpt() to get the content from the post.

    The problem we have is that in the RSS feed the "manual" excerpt is not used by WordPress but we have the "automatically" generation excerpt.

    Anyone can help?

    Thanks,
