Full Summary Troubleshooting, For Wordpress and Feedburner
Well as many of you are aware that we were recently having many issues with our RSS subscription, and making it a full summary there are many ways that can be edited in this post we will illustrate various was and tips and tricks for setting up your feed and getting you oh so important posts to your readers in a stylish effort less manner, and couple of tricks for increasing your number of readers!
First of all make sure your Wordpress is functioning correctly for full summary!
- Sign in
- Go to Options> Reading
- Syndication Feeds
Make sure it’s configured as same as in the picture below:

You can change the show most recent to the numbers of you post you want shown in your feed! That little note at the bottom of the section about more tags is that if you type that in your post, it will cut off the recent of the post in the RSS reader those making the reader have to go to your site. Nice little ploy once having the reader hooked they will visit the site, I find it better to provided the reader with the full context rather than just little samples, I find it irritating so I won’t make my readers just through hoops!
Secondly, if you use Feedburner you will have to “Optimize” for full summary!
- Sign in
- Go to Optimize
- Go to Summary Burner on the left panel make sure off if you want full summary!
- Feed Flare: If you want it to display link to stumble, technorati, dig and, ect. At the end of posts ( Both on site and subscription RSS
- Go to “Your Feed” to see results in real time!
Make sure its configured as same as in the picture below:

If you did all that and it still doesn’t work then it’s a problem with your RSS type, this is the issue we suffered from couple days back we were using RSS 0.92 , full summary is only enable is RSS 2.0 and on! To change your subscription from different type of RSS feeds is simply done here is an example!
My Old Feed:

My New Feed:

In the picture below change where my feed is to your feed!

You must me messing with your theme right now!! I was just about to comment about the new theme because I think it’s awesome but then it disappeared?
If you trying to decided to switch, I think you should go with the one you just had up a few minutes ago. It was sleek.
Also, great tips on Feedburner!!

Holy crap!! You guys just made my entire month. I have seriously been trying to figure this shit out since I moved to word press four weeks ago. After extensive searching, trying various plugins and code changes, I wasn’t getting anywhere to figuring out how to publish my full feed.
Who would’ve thought that I just needed to change my feed over to RSS2! You’d think this would’ve been listed in the Wordpress support files.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.
Just for this, I’m giving you guys a Fav, a digg, and a stumble. Perhaps even a link if I can figure out a way to relate it to my blog niche.
