Warning: This function has been deprecated. Use the_content_feed() instead.

the_content_rss() WordPress Function

The the_content_rss() function is used to display the content of a post in an RSS feed. This function can be used in conjunction with the_excerpt_rss() function to display a post's excerpt in an RSS feed.

the_content_rss( string $more_link_text = '(more...)', int $stripteaser, string $more_file = '', int $cut, int $encode_html ) #

Display the post content for the feed.


Description

For encoding the HTML or the $encode_html parameter, there are three possible values:

  • ‘0’ will make urls footnotes and use make_url_footnote().
  • ‘1’ will encode special characters and automatically display all of the content.
  • ‘2’ will strip all HTML tags from the content.

Also note that you cannot set the amount of words and not set the HTML encoding. If that is the case, then the HTML encoding will default to 2, which will strip all HTML tags.

To restrict the amount of words of the content, you can use the cut parameter. If the content is less than the amount, then there won’t be any dots added to the end. If there is content left over, then dots will be added and the rest of the content will be removed.
