How can I set my blog posts to "preview only" in the new reader?
-
I really don’t like that this upgrade miraculously “forgot” to respect the feed-settings, which are set to “summary” (Zusammenfassung) on my blog. I paid for a premium theme, love how I can style my blog posts, and wish that visitors see these blog posts the way I intended them to look.
So, how can I adjust the settings so the reader shows just the first few sentences? As it was before this “upgrade”? I’m really not happy with this change.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

@cosgroveloretta, I just checked the https://couchkartoffelchips.wordpress.com/ blog in the Reader at https://wordpress.com/read/blog/feed/15091431 and I can only see the summary version of your posts there.
Can you verify that is the same blog and Reader link you are looking at?
-
Thanks for looking into this. Yes, that’s my blog, and yes, that seems to be a summary version for people who already follow the blog. Good to know at least that works.
But.
If I check a tag in the reader, and open one of my posts via the tag feed, it shows the full post. In quiet an ugly formatting (quotes on my blog vs. quotes on the reader, holy FSM…). And before this update blogposts where shown as summarys in the tag feeds, too. Therefore I’m really not pleased.
If you want to see for yourself, you can check in the reader the tag “fliegender-zirkus” (my feed is set to german) and should get a post called “Als Monty Python’s Fliegender Zirkus nach Deutschland kam [BBC Doku]”. It’s there in full. And it shouldn’t.
I really hope that’s a glitch and not how it should be.

Ok, I fiddled around with the tag-feed and found this:
If I klick on the post from the tag-feed, I get this: https://couchkartoffelchips.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/from-tag-feed.jpg
If I copy & paste the URL I got from the tag-feed, I get this:
https://couchkartoffelchips.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/direct-from-address.jpgOne in full, one as a summary.
Is it possible to be a problem with the language versions? As I said, my blog is set to german in both language and interface. Hope that helps a little!
-
Thanks for the details! The language note was key, once I switched my test account to German I could see the issue. Thanks for working through the details with me! Someone has already made an update. Can you try giving the page you were looking at before a refresh? Note: you may need to close the browser window and re-open.

Yay! :)) Unfortunately my profile language seems to be stuck as french. Fiddled around with that before, too, and now it won’t change back to german. Well, I’ll let you know if everything’s fine as soon as the blog speaks german with me ;)
-
:) try clearing browser cache and I bet that will help. If it stays stuck, let me know and I’ll see if I can take a closer look.

Aaaaaand a last post: summaries are back! Hurra! :D
Thanks a lot for the fast help, my heart rate is already back to healthy levels ;)
