Option 2 is “For each article, show” and allows you to choose whether the feed has the full text of your posts or just a summary. * [morgaine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morgaine/) * (@morgaine) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-an-rss-feed-with-wordpress/#post-130077) * I’m using 1.5-gamma 2005-02-12 for my notebooks, which I just today ‘upgraded’ from MT to Word Press (have been using Word Press for my regular blog for quite a while). * Now while [http://blog.morgaine-lefaye.net/feed/](http://blog.morgaine-lefaye.net/feed/) does display 10 posts in the feed, as indicated in the admin panel, I have a problem with my notebooks, as the feed is only displaying 1 single post, e.g. [http://notebooks.morgaine-lefaye.net/poetry/feed/](http://notebooks.morgaine-lefaye.net/poetry/feed/). * As for the posts themselves, on my blog I show 5 posts on the frontpage, on the notebooks only 1. Feeds are however both set to 10. * One more thing, for my blog I’m using 1.5-beta-1 2005-01-28. * Anyone any idea as to why the feed for my notebooks is showing only 1 single entry? * [morgaine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morgaine/) * (@morgaine) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-an-rss-feed-with-wordpress/#post-130078) * If I change the number of posts to be shown on the frontpage of that notebook, I get more items in my feed. This is NOT something I would want to do though. Anyone any idea as to how I can make the feed behave as expected? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-an-rss-feed-with-wordpress/#post-130079) * Check Options/Reading. What do you have set for Syndication Feeds/Show the most recent:? * [morgaine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morgaine/) * (@morgaine) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-an-rss-feed-with-wordpress/#post-130080) * As I thought I explained clearly, I had that set to 10 posts. ‘Syndication feeds, Show the most recent 10 posts, For each article, show Full text’. * Now, when I have set ‘Blog pages, Show at most’ to 1 post, I only have 1 post in my feed as well. Do I temporarily change ‘Blog pages, Show at most’ to 10 posts, there are more posts in my feed as well, diappearing as soon as I put it back to 1 post (on the blog, that is, number of entries in the feed, always on 10). * Sounds a tad buggy, no? * [morgaine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morgaine/) * (@morgaine) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-an-rss-feed-with-wordpress/#post-130081) * Just in case, I’ve submitted this to the bugtracker: * [http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=864](http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=864) * [vegasman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vegasman/) * (@vegasman) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-an-rss-feed-with-wordpress/#post-130158) * I would like to post rss feeds on pages I create. With the include php. I have found plugin that enables me to do this. But it displays the rss feed below the sidebar in the body instead of next to it. How can I fix this to dispay correctly.
