when specifying the rss feed address use this format:
http://www.example.com/?feed=rss2
the 2 on the end did it for me
squooze my ignorance, but I know very little about html etc. I have the same issue, my site http://www.scootersnoop.com is only sending out a summary rss even though I have selected “Full feed”.
In the answer above, where exactly to I stick that ‘2’?
scooter: Umm.. No, your site appears to send a full feed. At least, the full content of your posts is in the RSS that I get back.
I have exactly the same problem as brittanie on
http://magazine-audio.com/feed/
I thought for a moment that this would have something to do with my template, showing the_excerpt instead of the_content, but no.
Any idea?
Well, I do not get it. With Firefox internal Feed reader, I get the summary. With Netvibes, I get the summary (But I get the complete text reading Gizmodo!?).
But then, when I use the Sage plug-in in Firefox, this thing can see the whole content, or the summary, when I switch the option in the Control Panel of my WordPress site. In other words, only Sage works fine.
Pfff!
My friend helped me with a solution. I’m not sure if this is kosher or whatever, but we edited my wp-rss2.php file and changed the following:
In the section of php if() else() statements where it’s saying, <?php if (get_settings('rss_use_excerpt'), we changed the contents of the <description> after the ‘else’ statement.
My change was this: <description><![CDATA[<?php the_content('', 0, '') ?>]]></description>
We did this ONLY for the ‘description’ tag after the else statement.
Then, make sure you choose the “full text” setting in your wordpress control panel.
