If it’s not a bug, then at least half a dozen feed readers I’ve tried all have the same bug. Changing that value in WordPress fixed the problem.
It may not be a bug, technically, but it certainly works against user expectations. The fact that there is this much discussion on the matter, and this many people having the same problem, should say something.
This is definitely a bug. Just looking at the code shows that it was mis typed. Follow the logic of the code:
if (get_option(‘rss_use_excerpt’))
// output the_excerpt_rss
else
// output the_excerpt_rss
So the code, as provided, outputs the EXCERPT no matter what your settings are.
Very big problem to users, very small effort to change. I’m just wondering why it isn’t fixed?
Is there somewhere to report bugs?
