New WordPress Plugin: Full Text Feed

Jan 28, 2007 at 2:37am in Code

Just a heads up to all you WordPress users out there. I have released a new plugin called Full Text Feed. Full Text Feed specialized in one thing - making your RSS feed full text. Why would you need such a plugin? Well, WordPress 2.1 has changed the functionality of feeds to only give the post up until a <!–more–> tag. Since there is no way to stop that functionality without modifying the core, this plugin was need. Hope this works for people who enjoy full text feeds without the pesky read more links.

    Definitely a must-have for ALL WordPress bloggers who use the ‘more’ tag. I’m sick of getting only summaries in my feed reader (NewsFire/Google).

    What a great plugin!

    By the way, I have a plugin idea - any interest in perhaps coding it? It’s small and pretty simple.

    This is a great plugin. I have no idea why they changed “more” behavior in 2.1…

    One small problem for me: I use a plugin called Content Show/Hide, which inserts javascript on the mainpage to allow for inline reading after the “more” tag.

    Somehow, this overrides your plugin and my feeds are still truncated. Do you have any idea how to either make your plugin take precedence or to hack into the feed core to completely ignore the “more” in feeds?

    If you can find the time for this, thanks. :)

    Just the plugin I have been looking for. Unfortunately I can’t seem to make it work with version 2.2.2. Has anyone tried this?

    It should work and I can’t think of anything which changed in 2.2.2 stopping it. Do you currently have it enabled? Perhaps you’re just viewing a cached version of your feed.

    Yes it was enabled but I have now found that in version 2.2.2 you have a Full Feed option in the Options/Reading section. When I checked that off it worked. So now I don’t know whether it was the plugin or the standard option that did the trick but I’m happy now that it works.

    Thanks :)
