Help: Reports of 2 versions of my RSS feed | Help Desk | Yakezie Forums

Hi folks,

Some of my readers are reporting to me that they see a short version

of my RSS feed while others report they see a long version of my feed.

I use wordpress v3.0.4 (if that matters)

I started my site with:

Reading->For each article in a feed, show->Short

but then changed this to:

Reading->For each article in a feed, show->Long

I also transferred the feed from one email to another.

Is there a way for me to only show the long version to my subscribers?

Budgeting in the Fun Stuff

I saw it this morning but don't know how to help. Sorry. I'm just lucky I somehow figured out how to set up a feed to start with. Good luck though!

I don't know if this will fix it, but I had a same problem in my blog. There are two places I had to change -

1) Wordpress. That you already did.

2) Feedburner. In feed burner first, go to optimize->summary burner and make sure the summary is not activated. If it is inactive, check your feed (below your feed name you can see "edit feed, tranfer, delete…". Click on the edit feed, if you see something like http://www.yourdomain.com/feed/ change it to http://www.yourdomain.com/feed/rss2

Refresh and give it a few minutes and see if that does the trick.

Thanks suba – I had that summary activated in feedburner.

A few more questions in the edit feed area I have some things i'd like to run by you:

Original Feed:

Feed Address:http://feeds.feedburner.com/

Do these look correct or do I need to add /RSS2 to the Feed Address?

May be that is why people are seeing two feeds. The original feed is the wordpress default feed – http://www.wealthinformatics.com/feed , the feed addresss would be http://feed.feedburner.com/wea…..ormatics... so that redirects your wordpress feed to your feedburner feed as well… you might want to add your wordpress feed http://sustainablepersonalfina…../feed/rss2 to the original feed. Just to make sure…

Now i'm confused.

my original is http://sustainablepersonalfinance.com/ ?feed=rss2 (put space in so it doesn't shrink)

my feed address (the 2nd one) is http://feeds.feedburner.com/ SustainablePersonalFinance

which should I be using both in feedburner and in my wordpress?

Jaymus – you just signed up recently, correct?

SPF, looks like it IS set correctly. In your previous message you original feed was empty, that is why I asked you add the rss2 feed. Ignore my last message then, it is set up correctly. Is it still showing partial feed for your users? (it is showing your full feed in my reader)

OK – so my wordpress was using http://feeds.feedburner.com/ SustainablePersonalFinance in my "social slider plugin" and my "social profiles" widget.

Given that I had the short form set up in feedburner and have since turned that off, I hope things are fixed.

Jaymus – might you check tmrw to see if you get the full article tmrw when we publish tmrw?

Did you sign up today using one of the buttons on my screen? Did you sign up before or after I reported making the change to the optimize->summary burner

just signed up with a diff. email than my own via my website which uses: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ SustainablePersonalFinance

partial posts still.

here's hoping feedburner is just taking time to re-set cuz I don't know how to fix this mess.

in my reader I am signed up with both http://feeds.feedburner.com/ SustainablePersonalFinance and

http://sustainablepersonalfinance.com/ ?feed=rss2

The rss2 shows me the full post, the one my website uses (that the widgets want) does not. :(

i'd really like to fix this w/o having to make an embarrassing post asking my readers to re-subscribe

I signed up long time ago. I usually read your blog by just visiting via bookmark, today I opened my reader as well to check your page. It showed full feed.

Thanks Jaymus – I had someone tell me today it is the full one but confirmation would be golden.

Yep, it is full articles now with pics and everything.. so what exactly did you do? Can you provide a summary of your precise settings to pull this off as I am still worried that some people are getting summary feeds for me.. (can anyone confirm/deny it for my feed, see signature below)?

MANY thanks to Suba and Jaymus for helping me out today (and InvestItWisely too).

@Jaymus – just subscribed and I see the full post in my reader, you're all good.

Basically I did 2 things.

First, I went to WP->Settings->Reading and set the option to full posts not exerpts

Second, I followed Suba's advice and went to my feedburner acct and went to Optimize->Summarize Burner-> it was active so I deactivated it. It seems this setting overrides WP.

Also to note in feedburner, under the big bold black Sustainable Personal Finance heading, clicked edit settings and had the follow set up (a space added here so the whole URL appears):

Original Feed: http://sustainablepersonalfinance.com/ ?feed=rss2

Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ SustainablePersonalFinance

Anyhow, really grateful Suba remembered the setting and that you Jaymus were able to confirm that the feed was now working.
