How to control the excerpt / content of the BBPress RSS Feed

    @dalereardonmdm

    Hi,
    I want to use the topics RSS feed to send out a newsletter in my email provider.
    The problem is that at the moment the RSS feed is bringing in the entire contents of the topic post rather than just a summary.
    I understand the BBPress RSS feeds are entirely separate to the main WP feeds and not affected by the reading setting of summary excerpt in the WP settings.
    Is it possible to control the length in characters or words that go into the BBPress RSS feed?

    Thanks,
    Dale.

    Lars,

    I cannot remember if you are technical or not – let me know, if you are I can point you to a solution, but if not, then it may take me a while to work it all out.

    Hi Robin

    Thanks for answering.
    If ‘technical’ means able to fiddle with readymade code snippets, then yes.
    If it means actual coding skills, the no 🙂

    ok, this may or may nogt work

    can you download this file

    RSS Test

    and then open it and paste the contents into code snippets ion the php/code section

    then let me know if it does anything (at all!!)

    Hi Robin

    It works very well! It hides the post content inside the ‘description’ tag, leaving only title and author name in the feed.

    Thank you very much, Robin.

    Cheers, Lars
