You can use multiple loops.
Something like:
<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
the_excerpt();
<?php endwhile;?>
And would this keep it to roughly 90 characters?
Or would it be like the_excerpt(90) ??
The function you want is the_content_rss(). It lets you specify a character limit.
Brilliant, thanks again Ivovic, comin to the rescue 😀
I knew there had to be a reason I wore my underwear on the outside 😉
Hehehe, plus the brass band starting up just as you flew by was a dead give away! 🙂
OK, RSS Feed is working great, but when I try this in my index.php page it doesn’t work
<?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 90); ?>
Any ideas?
yeah, you need to put it into a loop, as described by wp_guy above…
take what he gave you, and just substitute the rss line, where he puts the_excerpt
we’re actually more of a dynamic duo.
Hehe and I’m the damsel in distress. But wearing Bapesta’s and my arms don’t “flail” nearly as much 😀
Have you got a name yet?
Oh and almost there: <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 90); ?><?php endwhile;?> except it displays the full post and doesn’t chop up the string at 90 characters 🙁 Any takers?
ahh, that’s my mistake actually… the_content_rss limits the number of WORDS not the number of CHARACTERS… oops.
I guess that’s better actually but you might want to lower the number dramatically for desired effect.
sorry about your kitty m’am, sometimes I don’t know my own strength 😛
as for a name, I think given mistakes like this, it’s better we remain mysterious than to risk getting sued.
Hahaha 😀
Here have a nickel.
Watch out! Here comes Marvel, they wanna make a movie. Run!
