One of our first readers, Camille, asked “How can I provide full rss feeds to my readers? I use feedburner and it only display the post excerpt while I’d like to display the full posts.” Let’s see how Camille can provide full rss feeds to his readers.
I think that recent WordPress versions provide full feeds by default. Therefore, if you're using an older WP version, it is possible that partial feeds are the default.
To make sure your blog rss will be full feeds, login to your WordPress dashboard and then go to Settings → Reading.
As you can see on the screenshot, you just have to check the full feeds radio button and save. Your blog will now display full feeds!

I have “full feeds” checked, but it stills displays partial feeds. Any idea?
Check out your theme files and makes sure that the functions called to display your rss feeds is bloginfo(’rss2_url’) instead of bloginfo(’rss_url’).
Thanks so much, it works now!
Interesting post
You’re welcome, guys
This is not a Wordpress configuration problem. I think Feedburner cuts posts even if you check “Show full text” (Wp emits complete posts, that are cut by Feedburner)
Hi,
I’m in the same situation like Steve, but I don’t know what files I should check :/ Moreover I don’t really understand why the them “cut” the feed.
Merci (il m’a semblé comprendre que tu parles français ;))
@Cerium: Check out header.php, this is where most themes display the code to show feeds.
Btw yes I speak French
It’s really strange because my header call the 2 functions like this :
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
The RSS 2.0 produce this link : http://cerium50.niloo.fr/feed/ and the RSS is cut, I’ve just got the excerpts.
It’s really annoying for my readers (and I because I don’t like the feed which are cut).
Hope you’ve got another idea :p
