 * I’m using the default installation of StC, and my subscribers only receive very
   brief text snippets. I would like them to receive full posts, with images. Is
   there any setting for this?

 * Well that´s an old thread. There is now filter and hooks built in so you don´
   t need to hack the plugin on every new version for that kind of customizing.
 * I recommend you to use the filter and hooks described on this page.

 * And for those of us who aren’t fully competent in code.
 * I can see the line I want to use to get the full posts sent out, but where do
   I put that line?
 * In my Themes functions.php file? (tried that, didn’t work).
    Do I add it to the
   plugin code? What happens when you update, that’ll be overwritten surely?
 * Or is this going to be a checkbox in the admin screen in the future?

 * Hi gordnmclean,
 * It’s been two months but you or someone else may need the code for this. This
   worked for us:
 *     ```
       // Force Subscribe to Category Plugin to email full post
       function stc_message_length_sum_of_words(){
           return -1;
       }
       add_filter( 'stc_message_length_sum_of_words', 'stc_message_length_sum_of_words', 10, 1 ); //set return value to a negative number to show the full content
       ```
   
 * Hope it helps.
    Rich

 * How about use the post excerpt text as the email body content instead? I’d like
   to know how to get this feature to work. I think it would be much neater than
   limiting the word count of the content or posting the full article in an email.
 * Right now I am going to have a shot at hacking the plugin to use the excerpt 
   instead. I can’t see that option in the available filters and hooks (which I 
   presume a developer would add to their functions.php file.
