WordPress Plugin: Full Text Feed
If you have upgraded your blog to WordPress 2.1, you might have already noticed that if you use the <!–more–> feature it will cut off your posts in RSS feeds. This can be really annoying if you prefer full feeds.
CaveMonkey50 has created a WordPress plugin called Full Text Feed that prevents WordPress 2.1+ from adding a ‘more’ link to your RSS feed.
Installation
Unzip full_feed.zip, upload the full_feed.php file into your plugin directoy and activate the plugin.

Actually, I’m one of those who love to publish/read full feeds. I think putting (more..) in your feed is quite handy to increase pageviews through feeds and it doesn’t need to be fixed.
Well, That’s just my opinion.

Interesting issue here. I haven’t upgraded to 2.1 just yet (I want to see if any major bugs are found), and while I don’t use the “more” feature I think it’s weird that they don’t have an option that specifies configuration for the web and RSS.
Shouldn’t it be obvious that if you’re running a full feed RSS you don’t want the “more” to cut it off?

Do you know if there is a list somewhere, of the wordpress tags that you can use, to use things like Which I did not know about. Who knows what else I don’t know about.

yeah, I’m agree that it is annoying. readers through feed would find it’s time wasting to reopen the post in actual blog.

what I want is something that lets a user choose e.g I’ve unsubscribed from some full feeds like engadget and kotaku as I hate the huge posts and big images they do. I read 100 feeds a day so I need something where I can skim the headlines fast on my PC or mobile, and save the ones I want to read later when I have time.

flymb- All this plugin does is remove the ‘more’ link that WordPress 2.1 adds on your feed when you add a ‘more’ link on your blog post. Yes, I provide full feed

I just came back to get the plugin - don’t you think it’s a bit harsh not linking to the plugin author’s site???!!!

everton- ‘Download Full Text Feed’ links to the Authors site. Or are you talking about his homepage?

ahh lol because of the formatting on the link I assumed you were hosting it, so I didn’t click on it and used Google. I bet other people did the same….

everton- I thought doing this way will help readers find the download link easily.
I have done this for many plugins that I have blogged here in the past and no one has complained about it till now, except you.

I never noticed that until now! I do use the more tag all the time because on some of my sites, I don’t want to over load my page with content, but I do want to display more posts per page.
I have some sites updated to wordpress 2.1, mainly sites that don’t use a ton of plugins (been worried about upgrading). The sites that use a ton of plugins I have been nervous about updating.
But I am glad that I ran across this post, because it is a plugin that I will definitely need. I don’t want the content in the feeds to be chopped off. This forces the viewer to access my page even if he didn’t want to. Which defeats the purpose of the feed.
