Wordpress 2.6 Problem With Showing Full Text RSS Feed Using Feedburner (Solved)

Self-hosted Wordpress 2.6 RSS feed only show the summary of the post even when setting is set to “Full text” mode for my Feedburner Feed.
If your RSS feed from Feedburner only display the excepts of your posts even after you have set your wordpress settings to “Full text” mode, just follow these steps:

Step #1

Go to Wordpress “Settings” -> “Reading” ->


Select “Full text” and then save changes.

Step #2

Go to Feedburner -> your feed dashboard-> “Edit Feed Details” ->

Change the Original Feed to -> yourdomain.com/?feed=rss2

Now go back to check your Feed, it should be working now. :)

Summary

The likely reason for the problem that you face would have been because you have used the wrong feed source from your website. Feedburner requires “feed=rss2″ for full text and the default setting on your WP could have been “feed=rss”.

  • This is really helpful! Thank you! By chance, do you know how to work it so that there’s a “continued” link in the feedburner email. I’d like for people to see pics and such in the email but not the entire post so they’ll click through.

    I had to use yourdomain.com/feed/rss2 instead of the /?feed=rss2 in case that helps someone!
