 * Good morning,
 * I am currently having an issue with my RSS feed. On my WordPress, the post has
   been set to summary and I have selected the same for the theme. However, when
   I click on my feed, it contains the full content of the blog. This is not convenient
   for the newsletter I am trying to create to send to my subscribers. I have spoken
   to my web host account and they are saying that the issue is most likely to be
   with my current theme. I was hoping you could help me with this. or is there 
   a separate URL for excerpts feeds?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frss-feed-excerpt%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * the excerpt is not controlled by the theme or WordPress settings, you need to
   check some plugins for this
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/mpress-custom-feed-excerpts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mpress-custom-feed-excerpts/)
   or other ones.
 * Kind Regards,
    Nick
