Adding RSS message to Plaftform theme

For the RSS feed, Customizing Feeds,

As for the excerpt, in your theme folder there should be a folder called includes, in that folder is a file named library.functions.php. The function for the excerpt length is around line 500 -> $excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 25);, the number after ‘excerpt_length’ is where you can change the length.

If you’re using a child theme, it’s a bit different, you would be able to define your own custom excerpt functions.

Hope that helps

@pixel-jay thank you, I changed the default excerpt_length and everything is working like a charm.

Now lets see if someone helps me add the continue reading or whatever message.

Thank You

I know that this is the function/part that I need to change but everything that I tried to change doesn’t get me to far. I just need to get a link/url to the original post instead of the […] just in the RSS/feed
