 * Hi, I recently installed wordpress and I’m using rss2html to make the RSS feeds
   load on to my site. The problem is, after a certain length, the post says […]
   and that’s it. Is there a way to make it so it shows the full item description?
 * Thanks,
 * -Joe

 * How are you checking your feed? Sounds like you’re looking at it with Firefox.
   If so, view source to see the “real” feed, not the pretty stylized Firefox flavor.
 * And visit Options -> Reading. Look at the “Syndication” section and confirm you’ve
   selected “Full text”.

 * I selected full text, and there is no change. It still displays the same in IE6&
   Firefox 2. The page is [http://denverdrainers.org/home.php](http://denverdrainers.org/home.php)
   if you want to see the example.

 * This is a plugin you’re using for pulling a feed from somewhere else?
    Maybe 
   the “remote” site need to be configured to show the full text or you may have
   to hack the plugin to do what you want.

 * Yeah it’s a plugin. It has an option to limit the item description, but it’s 
   at 0, meaning it will not be limited.
 *     ```
       // Since some feeds may have titles or descriptins in the feed or items that
       // are longer then want fits in your HTML page it is possible to trim them
       // with the following 4 variables.  A values of 0 (ZERO) displays the full
       // length.
   
       $limitItemDescriptionLength = 0;  // Not limited, in the URL as ItemDescriptionLength=
       ```

 * Funkerjoe, I experience the same thing with a feed source. In my case, it is 
   the feed source that limits the length of the text, NOT our news reader. If I’m
   not mistaken Google News does so.
    Perhaps, this is your case too? Worth to test
   pulling feeds from other feed sources, I think.
