    Well it would seem I am having an issue where my podcast descriptions are suddenly being cut off at a certain point…no idea why but everythings fine on the website that I can tell…nothings been changed at all recently but I am still having my podcast descriptions cut off…this had to be recent as when I refreshed old podcasts on my rss feed app they also refreshed to be cut off as well.

    Seems like I found this in the patch notes recently after digging into it a bit…could this be the issue I am seeing? How would I turn things back to an unlimited description.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback.

    We’ve create an ticket on the GitHub repository for the plugin, with how we feel it’s best to resolve this update.

    https://github.com/TheCraigHewitt/Seriously-Simple-Podcasting/issues/382

    Instead of forcing the truncated post content as the description tag in the RSS feed, we’re going to add a setting to switch this functionality on, which will be off by default. So leaving this setting off, will mean that the RSS feed works as it did in 1.20.4.

    Then, if a user does switch it on, well only do the 4000 character limit if they also have Turbocharge on.

    I’d appreciate it if you could review this, and if you have any further comments on it, to post them there. If we don’t have any other concerns posted on that ticket, we’ll be implementing this change in the next update.

    Thanks

    Hi all

    We updated the plugin today, which included the following changes

    [NEW] Add a setting to control whether RSS feed episode description tags use the post content or the post excerpt
    [FIX] Fixes a bug where Turbocharge settings were enabled even when it is switched off

    You can now set your feed to use either the excerpt, or the post content, as the episode description in the RSS feed. This update also fixes some bugs that were introduced when we added the Turbocharge feature.

    Please update your plugins to receive the latest changes.
