Make your Wordpress Feed display full posts with images (Feedburner)

Problem Overview

This seems to be a very common issue among bloggers who use feedburner. To be honest i also had the same problem, and did post up on feedburner groups asking for help, but heck no one answered.

So i did some searches on G and saw that quite many bloggers don’t know how to handle this issue, some of them even edit the wp core code messing stuff up thinking that it’s wordpress’s fault that in the feed pops appear as short snippets.

Solution

Go to your Wordpress Admin panel -> Settings -> Reading, there use these settings:

Now head over to Your Feedburner feed management section, click on your feed and select Edit feed details where at the Original Feed URL put http://www.yourblog.com/feed

After this at your Feedburner dashboard go to Optimize -> Summary burner and make sure that Summary burner isn’t active.

Now that everything is done head over to Google Reader, or any Feed reader and check out your feeed. It should display the full feed along with images. Don’t be alarmed if in firefox’s feed reader you see only a snippet, test it in a real feed reader!

Credits go to Dever for helping me figure this out.

    Thanks for the quick how-to. I just set up a new blog a few weeks ago and I remember playing with the feedburner options that you are talking about in this post. Thankfully I was able to get it figured out on my own, but this is exactly the advice that I would have needed!

    Hey Slayer, i just googled my issue and arrived to your post, Ive been having my feed set up like that, but i want to have it just as an excerpt, like a summary text AND one or two images, not the full post – Do you know how should i set it up ? or tweak something ?
    Would love help if you know how…
