Substr function

You can use multiple loops.

Something like:

<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>

 <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    the_excerpt();
 <?php endwhile;?>

And would this keep it to roughly 90 characters?

Or would it be like the_excerpt(90) ??

The function you want is the_content_rss(). It lets you specify a character limit.

Brilliant, thanks again Ivovic, comin to the rescue ??

I knew there had to be a reason I wore my underwear on the outside ??

LOL

Hehehe, plus the brass band starting up just as you flew by was a dead give away! ??

OK, RSS Feed is working great, but when I try this in my index.php page it doesn’t work

<?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 90); ?>

Any ideas?

yeah, you need to put it into a loop, as described by wp_guy above…

take what he gave you, and just substitute the rss line, where he puts the_excerpt

we’re actually more of a dynamic duo.

Hehe and I’m the damsel in distress. But wearing Bapesta’s and my arms don’t “flail” nearly as much ??

Have you got a name yet?

Oh and almost there: <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 90); ?><?php endwhile;?> except it displays the full post and doesn’t chop up the string at 90 characters ?? Any takers?

ahh, that’s my mistake actually… the_content_rss limits the number of WORDS not the number of CHARACTERS… oops.

I guess that’s better actually but you might want to lower the number dramatically for desired effect.

sorry about your kitty m’am, sometimes I don’t know my own strength ??

as for a name, I think given mistakes like this, it’s better we remain mysterious than to risk getting sued.

Hahaha ??

Here have a nickel.

Watch out! Here comes Marvel, they wanna make a movie. Run!
