    Hi – just in the process of migrating from blogger to my first wordpress site. I have most things working except as follows.

    I have modified my main index template, so I show excerpts (i let it grab the content for me – I don’t specify the excerpt myself). This was done using

    <?php the_excerpt(‘Read more »‘); ?>

    This all works fine, but I want the RSS feed for my page to show the full content, at the moment it shows just the excerpt. Seems a trivial request but I can’t find the solution anywhere.

    BTW : Settings->Reading->Show full text in feed is selected.

    I’m hoping this is just a template customization or plugin. Please can someone help?

    thanks

    sorted it! I was checking the feed in firefox which appears to truncate the feed by default. Where as IE8 which has a proper feed reader built in displays the full feed as to does Feedburner.
