With changeset 6763 on WordPress trunk (soon to be WordPress 2.5), when I select Full text in Settings > Reading I now get… you got it, full text feed.
Ryan wrote in the issue ticket, “Looking back, this was a mistake. By popular demand, we’re returning to disregarding the [<!--more-->] tag when serving feeds.”
And with this change, with everything else WordPress 2.5 will give me, I now need one less plugin. I get to retire Ronald Heft Jr’s Full Text Feed.
Jennifer Hodgdon, WordPress Plugin Development Documenter extraordinaire, has written Migrating Plugins and Themes. This seems like a great resource for the WordPress plugin developer who may have been putting off updating their blogs.
As she says, “it’s a Wiki — feel free to add/clarify/edit/fix.”
Jennifer continues to provide essential contributions both to the codex and in development. The new tag interface in Write and Manage->Tags in 2.5 are largely her work. Jennifer, I salute you!
WordPress 2.5 beta is coming soon!
