@sterndata… thanks.

Further checking shows it was indeed a plugin which was causing this issue.

Updating it removes the issue, so I can’t try adding a priority although I’d still like to find a reliable way to globally disable wptexturize.

Thanks.

Hoping to do it more simply, I’m since found a different solution.

Thanks.
That’s returning nothing – blank.

Thanks.

That’s a lot cleaner and more useful…

Array
(
[Notes] => default
)

If I can find a way to lose the ‘Array’ and the ‘()’ I’ll be happier – and also the square brackets.

I don’t know if str_replace or preg replace will do it.

UPDATE…

I’ll add this in the hope it might be useful for others.

Rather than trying preg replace – about which I don’t know enough – I used a function…

function remove_images( $the_excerpt_rss ) {
   $postOutput = preg_replace('/<img[^>]+./','', $the_excerpt_rss);
   return $postOutput;
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt_rss', 'remove_images', 100 );

FURTHER UPDATE…

I’ll add this in case it’s of use to someone.

It seems to work ok with…

// This delivers valid feeds, with the correct templates.
remove_all_actions( 'do_feed_rss2' );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', function() {
$rss_template = get_template_directory() . '/feeds/item-feed.php';
$rss_template2 = get_template_directory() . '/feeds/notes-feed.php';
//if ( $post_type = 'item'  )
if( get_query_var( 'post_type' ) == 'item' and file_exists( $rss_template ) )
load_template($rss_template);
elseif ( $post_type = 'post' )
load_template($rss_template2);
else
do_feed_rss2(); // Call default function
}, 10, 1 );

This enables use of a custom template for the feed of normal posts, and use of a different custom template for the feed of the CPT ‘item’.

The feeds differ in channel title/link/description.

UPDATE: Seems the code in my functions was the issue – even though it was a direct cut/paste of that working on in another install. Strange.
