    Hi, the Publicize module is posting the contents of the entire post to the Tumblr account. Is there a way to set it so that it only posts the excerpt or a shorter version?

    When you publish the post, look to the right of the editor under Publicize options.

    You’ll find a box to enter a custom message instead, as depicted in the screenshot at https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/#sharing-new-posts

    Thanks but this doesn’t work. What it does is still publish the entire WP post onto Tumblr, and appends whatever I write into the box you mentioned.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Hey there,

    Within your dashboard, you should be able to go to Settings > Reading and set For each article in a feed, show to Summary.

    I just tried this on my test site and it worked perfectly:

    Hi, this didn’t help either, unfortunately. It still posts the entire post to Tumblr.

    What’s the URL of the site with the problem?

    Howdy –

    My next suggestion is to rule out incompatibilities. Disable all the other plugins on your site, leaving only Jetpack. Test the feed setting again with a new post.
