Help with index.php loop?

    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()); ?>
