Here’s the code in my textarea. It looks like it got cut off in my original message.
<strong>Read '%%POSTLINK%%' at <a href="http://www.sellingyourscreenplay.com">http://www.SellingYourScreenplay.com</a>.</strong>
One thing I just noticed, my RSS is set to only show the “summary” and the problem goes away when I set it to show the whole post in the RSS feed. So it’s something to do with that – it duplicates the RSS footer when it’s set to “before” and your RSS is set to “summary only.”
I know this is a hack but I don’t have time at the moment to dig in any deeper right now. I put this code in the rss-footer.php file on line 151:
$temp_remove = strip_tags($rssfootcontent);
$content = str_replace($temp_remove,"",$content);
Which version of the plugin are you using?
I have the same problem.
WP 2.9.1
RSS Footer 0.9.6
Set to “Content position: before”
Looking at the XML source of the generated feed, in the <description> field, I see the RSS footer line once fully linked followed by a line break, then once more with links stripped out, then my actual content without line break.
I noticed people have complained about this in multiple posts here as far back as half a year ago. Are you planning to address this or should I look for an alternative solution?
BTW, a closer look shows that the line break mentioned above comes from the first, linked instance of the RSS-Footer text being wrapped in:
<p> ... </p>
which of course evaluates to HTML p tags. The second, unlinked instance is just part of the first regular paragraph.
I changed my blog now to have full content feeds and now I find that the <description> section still has the duplicated RSS Footer text, but the <content> section doesn’t.
As a result, my feed looks fine in readers that show full content, but quite silly in readers that only show the <description> excerpt, e.g. MyBlogLog. In the latter, RSS Footer now takes over 2/3 of the displayed text.
I can’t work like that. Since the author doesn’t respond, I’ll delete RSS Footer. Found this one: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/copyfeed/ A bit more complex, but at least it works.
