RSS Excerpt

    I have a blog on our website and a Mailchimp RSS Campaign that emails these blog updates out to our subscribers. However, I am only able to email the full post or the title and featured image. When I use the Mailchimp merge tags to use a summary of the post it pulls in the image and a link saying “Continue reading (post title)”. The blog page pulls in and displays the excerpt. But if you look at the feed http://www.livingtowersflkeys.com/feed the description shows the post title, the image and nothing else.

    Well, I see the excerpt in the feed, as pictured below.

    Given you posted this more than 3 hours ago, have you solved this already?

    Yes and no. I found a work around, but I would rather find a fix. A work around is to add text to the Excerpt field on the post. If you look at the blog page https://www.livingtowersflkeys.com/blog/ you’ll see the most recent two posts are showing text I manually added to those two blog posts. Any posts after that are using pulling that text from the post. I would like the text to be pulled into the feed automatically.

    Does that make sense?
