WordPress RSS full entries do not show up!

If you have a blog with WordPress, you probably use RSS for your website. Unfortunately, WordPress doesn't want to show the full entries of RSS feeds - only summary. To show the full blog post, you need:

• Go to Settings->Reading  and select Full text.
• The open a file wp-includes/feed-rss2.php. By default it has  this code at the end:

<...Other PHP code...> <guid isPermaLink="false"><?php the_guid(); ?></guid> <?php if (get_option('rss_use_excerpt')) : ?> <description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description> <?php else : ?> <description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description> <?php if ( strlen( $post->post_content ) > 0 ) : ?> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_content() ?>]]></content:encoded> <?php else : ?> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></content:encoded> <?php endif; ?> <?php endif; ?> <... More PHP code...>

• Change it to look like that:

<...Other PHP code...> <guid isPermaLink="false"><?php the_guid(); ?></guid> <?php if (get_option('rss_use_excerpt')) : ?> <description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description> <?php else : ?> <description><![CDATA[<?php the_content() ?>]]></description> <?php endif; ?> <... More PHP code...>

So: remove additional if()s-else()s and instead of content:encoded write description Happy blogging!
