Change RSS description feed.

[thetouringnetwork]

Hi, I have been setting up an RSS feed for my events. I have managed to edit the feed successfully to include venue, date, price etc. by editing functions.php. However, the feed is automatically displaying the Excerpt for each event, rather than the description and I can’t seem to change this, or add an additional field for the main description.

The code I have been using for other data )i.e. venue) is:

`<ev:venue><?php echo tribe_get_venue(); ?></ev:venue>

I have searched and searched and can’t find the right place to manage the description! I really need just pointing in the right direction of either the correct function tag to use to add this in (in a similar way to above) or where this is managed by Events Calendar and could be edited.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jane

Hi there Jane,

The RSS functionality really belongs to WordPress: we just piggy back on top of it.

By default the complete content should be included. Is it possible that (perhaps due to the actions of another plugin/your theme) the rss_use_excerpt option is set to true? If so, WordPress will omit the complete description.

The following could be of interest:

• Learn more about options in WordPress
• Check out the update_option() docs
• Feeds in WordPress

Does that help?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
