Author Tag / Rss

  • While the blog is in limbo, I would like to know what exactly I need to add to the:
    wp-rss2.php
    inside the ‘channel’ tags to allow for the author of the blog entry ( email address ) to be shown on the rss new readers. At this time it only shows the comments after the post.
    Also, I would like it to show up to the <-more-> option in the newsfeed. Currently it shows a specific number of non changeable charactors. Is there a way to change that?
    Kind regards,
    Stephen
    Just for added a solid response, can you also list the code for adding an image to the rss news feed, so this is a complete solution for rss2 channel changes.
    actually I will add it..
    < image >
    < title >WordPress</ title>
    < url > https://wordpress.com/images/xxxx.gif </url>
    < link >https://richardathome.no-ip.com</ link>
    < height >xxx </ height>
    < width >xxx </ width>
    < /image >
    this belongs inbetween the < channel > tags in your rss file
    * Do not copy and paste.. changes made so code will appear.. I hope *

  • 1. I have not seen that addressed yet.
    2. Using <–more–> in a feed. The feed displays the excerpt or full entry depending on your settings. It is not possible – as far as I know to put that into a feed and have it work as you expect. If someone is using a feed, and wants to read more, they have to visit your site.
    3. Images in feeds. That no doubt also depends on the reader as well. Some feeds I get show pictures, others do not, and I don’t know why…

    The <–more–> option does cut the text on your website.. However, in the newsfeed program the text is cut off based on your admin settings. I would like to change the default amount of text displayed when using ” Summary ” It is a little short.
    I found this option for the author:
    author>{$postOwner->getEmail()}
    I just might have the wrong variable. If someone can tell me the proper syntax that would be great.
    Kind regards,

    Bump* anyone?

    Go to https://example.com/wp-admin/options.php?option_group_id=3 and change the length of the excerpt.
    Take a look at
    https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/TemplateTags#Authorx20.tags
    for details about how to include details about the author in your wp php pages. You can use the appropriate tag, and the usage directions are there too.
    Please do _not_ bump your questions, for civility.

    How did you know to go to that link?
    I do not have this link in the normal options.
    I only have _id=8
    What is up with that?

    You can get to that link by typing it out in the address bar of the broswer and accessing the page. replace ‘8’ with 3 and press return or enter and bingo!
    That is the old options page, which, thankfully is still available, just not linked to from anywhere.

    Got what I needed.. thanks
    <?php the_author_email(); ?>
    Displays the author’s email address. This tag must be within The Loop. No Parameters.
    Put it all in and it works great.. Even shows up on the rss feed now..
    Getting there.. ??
