Just sayin’ * So… * What’s the SMF plugin? Can you post a link to that? I looked on that site you linked the forum, but I didn’t see the actual WordPress plugin (if it is one). * Why does that plugin put the XML tag into your feed? (This is apparently a non-standard tag, according to someone on the forum you linked in the 1st post). * Seems to me… if you disable the plugin and your feed works, but you enable the plugin and the feed is broken… then see if the plugin can be fixed, right? * [pianoman13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pianoman13/) * (@pianoman13) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-length/#post-593842) * its a plugin for a forum.. Not for wordpress. * It takes RSS feeds and posts them as threads on a forum. * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-length/#post-593843) * it would appear the choices are: find a forum plugin that works, or fix the forum plugin you’ve got so that it works. * I think you’ll want your blog-post text to appear in the XML field “description” not under “content:encoded”. WP puts it in the correct field out of the box. I wonder if the Forum plugin you’re using changes the RSS to make it post on that forum, yet, it becomes non-standard to some RSS readers (albeit compatible with others). * It seems to be nothing WP is doing, if WP creates the valid feed out of the box and the Forum’s plugin is changing it?
