Wordpress: How to Output Full Text in the Feed?

In WordPress, whether the /feed (RSS feed) outputs full text or just an excerpt is controlled in Settings → Reading, and can also be customized via code or plugins. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Change via WordPress Settings

1. Go to WordPress Admin → Settings → Reading.
2. Look for “For each article in a feed, show”.
3. You’ll see two options: Full text and Summary
4. Select Full text to ensure /feed outputs the full post content.
5. Click Save Changes.

This setting affects the default WordPress RSS feed (/feed).

Change via Theme (if settings not respected)

Some themes override feed output. To force full content:

Open your theme’s functions.php.

Add the following PHP code.

// Force RSS feed to show full content
function my_full_feed_content($content) {
    return get_the_content();
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'my_full_feed_content');

add_filter('the_content_feed', 'my_full_feed_content');

This ensures both RSS excerpts and content feeds use full post content.

Change via Plugins

If you prefer not to touch code: Plugins like “RSS Feed Control” or “WP RSS Aggregator” let you customize feed content length, full text, and formatting.
