At the risk of publicly declaring I’m an idiot, I give you the oh-so-complicated method for changing your WordPress RSS feed to full posts instead of excerpts:
- click on Settings in your WordPress admin
- click on Reading
- change the option “For each article in a feed, show:” to Full text.
You know, I Googled this to high heaven, including my usual lurking around the WordPress codex, I read the help pages at Feedburner, looked at my Feedsmith plugin, and could not find this option. Somehow I have completely overlooked this setting in all the blogs I’ve built. Doh! So at least I can give some fodder to the search engines in case anyone else is having the same mind melt.
Thankfully Christine had the answer to this mind melt, and my whopping subscriber base should now have full feeds.
