Better control over WordPress RSS feed?

[kirbybowl]

I recently switched from Blogger to WordPress and I was wondering if there were ways to control the RSS feed better.

My Blogger posts were stolen by a few scrapper sites, so I don't use full rss feeds. However, in WordPress, is there no option to cut the full RSS feed off at the "more" tag?

I searched around Google and that's how it used to work (to my understanding), but now the "more" tag doesn't work (the rss feed shows the whole post regardless of the more tag). Are there any workarounds?

Thanks in advance

There are two things worth trying here. First of all, log into WordPress and from your admin menu, click "Settings" then "Reading". Where it says or, "For each article in a feed, show", make sure "Summary" is selected and not, "Full text". Then save the changes.

This should immediately resolve the problem. Also, and assuming you are using your feed elsewhere, try logging into that site and checking for how your feed is displayed, whether it is a summary or otherwise.

I'm assuming though that simply changing your WP settings from "Full text" to "Summary" should immediately resolve that problem for you.

Actually I think I wasn't clear. I don't want the summary because it strips away photos and links. I want it to be full text, but the user must click "read the rest of the entry" (or equivalent) in order to read the entire post in the RSS feed. I have seen similar behaviour in other blogging platforms, but never for WP.

Simply put, I still want the user to visit the site, but I want the "preview" in the RSS feed to have photos and links.

I hope that clarifies what I mean.

Ah. Not entirely sure how to go about doing that, lol. Then again, I seldom use images my posts so it's not been something I've had to fiddle around with. Hopefully someone else will be able to help out though. Best of luck!

There's a good plugin floating around that allows one to define "Cut off RSS Feed after X words"

Let me know if that would help and I'll track down the exact name of the plugin.

I use Feedburner to supply my RSS feeds. This comes with a whole host of options.
