Customize RSS Feed from Wordpress to Mailchimp - wordpress

I want to edit the line of code "[…]" found in my feed drtaylorwallace.com/feed which I use to push to Mailchimp RSS feed campaigns.
The reason I want to edit this is because in Mailchimp it appears as "[...]" in the email blast which looks like it should be able to click on it to read more of the blog post on the site.
I want to: Remove the brackets (OR) enable it to be hyperlinked to that specific blog post.
How is this done?

I would suggest utilizing the wordpress excerpt field within your wp admin "edit post" view! When you use this, your feed will automatically pull that excerpt and there will be no [...]! Hope this helps!

Parsing all posts of a wordpress blog by tag. RSS or plugin?

I'm complete new to wordpress but I have to parse a complete blog into a another website.
This should happen on a hourly base.
My question now is what should I use for this? The posts I need to parse are marked by a specific tag.
Can I use the RSS-Feed for this or is it limited and will only return me like the last 20 posts?
Or is there any plugin out there which can return me all posts of a tag or category in an XML or JSON?
Thanks guys!
You can use RSS for this. You can set the feed limit on RSS in your Wordpress Blog Settings. The feed URL would be:
http://example.com/tag/tagname/feed

Crosspost Wordpress blog post to blogger

I want to publish the same post which I just published in the worpress blog to blogger & facebook automaticaly. I know it possible and there are various plugin out there. But cant find one free to use plugin which do this.
I used a 'network publisher' plugin. Its free for facebook by need to pay if we want to add another on like blogger or other. But its working good for me in facebook
Now I am really worried what to do for my blogger to get automatically posted from wordpress.
At last I got the blogger (.blogspot) to get my post automatically from the wordpress.
The blogger can be configured to post via email. There in the blogger account we have to create a secret email address in the setting tab
format look like this - name_of_the_site.secretcode#blogger.com (so that a mail send to this address will automatically posted in the blogger)
And then in the wordpress install a plugin named CROSSPRESS which do all the required stuff
where simply put the email address and the signature which we want to show underneath each post.
Test it by creating a new post and publishing it. You will get the same in blogger
DONE......
It is now possible to post directly using Blogger API (since 4 weeks)
I think you just have to wait a plugin that integrate this feature.
Here is the API announcement : http://code.blogger.com/2012/06/blogger-api-v3.html
Simply set up Blogger and Facebook to get your Wordpress site RSS feed. Look at Blogger and Facebook for docs on how to do that.
Cross post seems to have issues in that line breaks don't get carried across properly and it seems to generate ASCII character 160 in a few random places as well at the moment.

Wordpress - How to limit characters to show at Feeds?

In wordpress, there is settings for the feed to show Summary or Full. I want to show only content summary at Feeds. But the default summary is still too long for me. And there's another way to add excerpt at each of the post. For that option, I can't use it either because I am running multiple author blog and most of the people don't know how to add excerpt and my posting form is custom form which is not allowed to add excerpt. I tried to search at google and wordpress plugins, but still haven't get any clue yet.
Is there anyway to limit characters at feed display ? Or is there any plugin out there ? Like at feedburner, I can activate summary feeds and limit the characters.
Please kindly help me out again. Thank you.
put the following in the theme's functions.php file:
add_filter('excerpt_length',create_function('$a','return 25;'));
Where 25 is the number of words you'd like to appear in the excerpt.
If you want the normal excerpt length on the regular page but the short one in the feed, use:
if(is_feed()){
add_filter('excerpt_length',create_function('$a','return 25;'));
}
I don't know whether that will work for sure with all feeds, so I'd suggest just using it without the is_feed() check.

Custom fields in WordPress RSS feed

I have 2 custom fields in my WordPress system when creating new posts. One is called homethumb (is the title of an image) and another called description.
I would like to edit the RSS feed so it shows the image and the description rather than the complete post.
But I don't know how to do this. I would like to fetch that RSS with simple pie to integrate it on another website (sort of auto-submit system).
You also have
do_action('rss_item')
that runs in the loop for every item in the RSS feed.
Hook in to that and output anything extra you need in to the feed item.
To show the excerpt instead of the entire article, go to "reading" in Settings section of your admin menu and half way through the options there's a setting to use excerpts instead of full text.
No plugins required. Just a little custom programming.
Custom fields for Feeds Wordpress plugin
This puts images or videos into your feeds through the use of custom
fields. You can alter the custom field Keys and what is displayed.
Update 11/27/2015: The plugin is old, but the site says it still works
I found some tutorials on how to add things to your rss reader, so I fixed this.
it's in french -> http://www.webinventif.fr/wordpress-ajouter-du-contenu-dans-son-flux/
Here is another option if you want to display anything other than images and videos in your feed: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-custom-fields/
All of your custom fields will now be displayed in your feed.
Further options to be able to select which custom fields display in a feed will be available in subsequent releases of the plugin!
