Full Feed Plug-In For Latest WordPress

You may have noticed after upgrading to Wordpress 2.1 that even if you have the settings to full feeds for your RSS subscribers, they would receive a [more] link if you use the tag when publishing the article.

A few months ago I started applying code to my larger posts because my blog homepage would take too long to load if I published a few of my characteristically large articles (2000+ words) in a row. The more tag breaks the article down on the front page and visitors to the blog have to click the read more link to go to the full article.

Previously if you published full text feeds and you used the more tag it didn’t affect the feed, but with the upgrade to WordPress 2.1 it did and would look like this:

Full Text Feed Plug-In

Blaine Moore today told me to install a new plug-in that fixes the problem, which I just did.

I suggest if you also want to offer full feeds to your readers and you are running WordPress 2.1 or above that you consider installing this plug-in. As I have written about before, it’s most important that your blog is read, and full feeds makes this as easy as possible.
