RSS feed error/displaying to much content…

@tom_taylor_85

Sorry!! I have no any idea about this. I think that you can use conditions. LIKE

if PODCAST
see TITLE
else
EXCERPT or CONTENT

Thanks

Well, is there a way to use <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?> but restrict the number of words to be shown?

Yes. Put this function in theme’s functions.php file.

function new_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 40;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length' );

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
	return 'Read more[.....]';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

And now change the function <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?> with <?php the_excerpt();?>

Also use custom function

function new_entry_post($number) {
	$content = get_the_content();
	$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
	$content = preg_replace('@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@si', '', $content);
	$content = preg_replace('@<style[^>]*?>.*?</style>@si', '', $content);
	$content = preg_replace('|<img.*?src=[\'"](.*?)[\'"].*?>|i', '', $content);
	$content = strip_tags($content);
	$content = substr($content, 0, strrpos(substr($content, 0, $number), ' '));
	echo $content;
	echo "...";
}

Put it in functions.php file.

Replacing the_content(_(‘Read more’)) with new_entry_post(20) .

That did restrict it, but now I get a different code where the pod cast should be… [Audio clip: view full post to listen]

Any ideas?

Ok, I have an idea!

Since in the categories that consists of podCasts, the only thing inside them is the podcast…

How can I create and IF THEN code? i.e. If posts=music THEN <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>

if else, <?php the_excerpt();?>

create a category “music” and put a post under music category.Now in your loop use this conditions
if(in_category(put music id )){
the_content(__(‘Read more’));?>
}else{
<?php the_excerpt();?>
}

Do I add that code under the index page?

yes. try once.

I did, it didn’t work…I am trying to replace the “<?php the_excerpt();?>” with the code you gave me…take a look please

<td width="411">
    <?php if (function_exists('get_cat_icon')) get_cat_icon(); ?>
	    <b><font size="+1"><span class="category"> <?php the_category(', ') ?></span></font></b>
	    <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

            <font color="white"><h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"></font>
        <?php the_title(); ?>
          </a></h1>
            <p>

<link rel='stylesheet' id='podpress_frontend_styles-css' href='/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress.css?ver=3.0' type='text/css' media='all' />

<?php the_excerpt();?>
              <?php edit_post_link('Edit','',''); ?>
            </p>

where is my code? its showing <?php the_excerpt();?>

I tried it many different ways as well…

<td width="411">
    <?php if (function_exists('get_cat_icon')) get_cat_icon(); ?>
	    <b><font size="+1"><span class="category"> <?php the_category(', ') ?></span></font></b>
	    <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

            <font color="white"><h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"></font>
        <?php the_title(); ?>
          </a></h1>
            <p>

<link rel='stylesheet' id='podpress_frontend_styles-css' href='/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress.css?ver=3.0' type='text/css' media='all' />

<?php if(in_category(4797)){
the_content(__('Read more'));?>
}else{
<?php the_excerpt();?>
} ?>
              <?php edit_post_link('Edit','',''); ?>
            </p>
