Feed doesn’t show full text.
-
When viewing my feed with Firefox, it doesn’t show the full feed but only the first part followed by “[…]”. Under Syndication Feed settings i have it on display full text.
Why won’t it display the full text and how do i fix it so it will in the feed? -
Need to know where your blog is please so we can see what’s going on. You’re linked to a non-wp.com blog and since that’s different code from what we’re running here at wp.com, there’s no way to help you I’m afraid.
if you are talking about a blog hosted off of wp.com, you’re running different code than what’s run here. In that case, you need to be over at http://wordpress.org

Actually it is showing the full feed. Please take a look at it.
You’ll note that the […] is actually found in the description’ portion of the feed but your entire text of each post is displayed in ‘content:encoded’ portion.
I have a feeling that Firefox is only displaying the description portion of your feed. I don’t use Firefox here (locked down terminals) so someone else is going to have to help you change this.
Hope this helps,

I see. I was just wondering if there is a fix so it will work on it. Thanks for your help.

I had a student pull up your site with Firefox on their laptop here and did the “Open in tabs” thingie and it displayed the two individual Posts on your site. The entire content was there.
I’ll send in a Feedback and see if Podz can answer this one. He knows more about Firefox and RSS than I do.

You’re not using Thunderbird, are you? We see a setting at Thunderbird -> Tools -> Account Settings -> (The folder you have your RSS feeds under. Defaults to ‘News and Blogs’) -> Manage Subscriptions -> Click the little plus sign in front of the folder for your specific feed -> Click the actual feed in question -> Click the edit square -> Unclick the box labeled: ‘Show the article summery instead of loading the webpage’ and click on OK.
I have to give the laptop back now. He’s suppose to be studying for a test. :)

I’m not using Firefox for feedreading but FeedDemon displays all feeds correctly – and yours looks fine.
When the feed is read by the reader the first part of the post is used as the excerpt – as drmike says. And when I click on that I see the whole post.
I means people can see more posts with a bit of writing and use that to choose what to read.
I think feedreaders have learnt because with some previously if you open a feedlink and the person had written 1000 words it would pull the whole post in.
