 * Lines 40-43:
 * `code`<?php if (get_settings(‘rss_use_excerpt’)) : ?>
    <description><![CDATA[
   <?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description> <?php else : ?> <description><![CDATA[
   <?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>`/code`
 * It’s the exact same thing. When I changed to the following, it seems to be working:
 * `code`<description><![CDATA[<?php the_content_rss(”, 0, ”, get_settings(‘rss_excerpt_length’))?
   >]]></description>`code`

 * This markup is annoying without a clear explanation, and plus without “Preview
   post”. Repost, hope the code will be clear:
 * Lines 40-43:
 * `<?php if (get_settings('rss_use_excerpt')) : ?>
    <description><![CDATA[<?php
   the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description> <?php else : ?> <description><![CDATA[<?
   php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>
 * It’s the exact same thing. When I changed to the following, it seems to be working:
 * `<description><![CDATA[<?php the_content_rss('', 0, '', get_settings('rss_excerpt_length'))?
   >]]></description>`
