    Hi all,

    I wanted to syndicate particular blog posts (based on tags) to a planet. In order to achieve that I did https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/tag/debconf16/feed/ but that only includes abbreviated content. How do I make a feed which gives the whole story and not just abbreviate the content.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi, this might help
    In the “settings” > reading, go down to “For each article in feed” and check”full text”

    Hope this helps

    Good try but not all themes display full posts. Most new ones are designed to display front page only excerpts.

    @shirishag75
    Bold Life retired theme that cannot be used on any sites that did not use it prevsiously. Themes are retired when they no longer support all wordpress.COM features. The recommendation is to stwich themes.

    Switching themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do a lot of work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme with different features and/or if you have done any CSS editing.

    Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

    The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

    Please try switching to this theme
