Examples
#1 Layout for RSS feeds
Print the post excerpt or the first 55 words of the post content. Wrap the resulting text in a <description> tag for use in the RSS feed:
<description><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?></description>
#2 Short & full content for feed
To create a custom feed that takes a GET parameter on a URL (e.g. http://www.example.com/?feed=myfeed&type=excerpt), place something like the following in your particular feed file to send an excerpt (the_excerpt_rss()) instead of the full content (the_content()):
if isset( $_GET['type'] ) ) {
$typewanted = sanitize_text_field( $_GET['type'] );
}
if ( $typewantd === 'excerpt' ) {
// Wrap the Excerpt in a span tag for CSS styling
echo '<span class="excerpt">';
the_excerpt_rss();
echo '</span>';
}
else {
// Otherwise they want the full content so wrap it in another span
echo '<span class="content">';
the_content();
echo '</span>';
}
