My client has informed me that it’s specifically bbpress that is affecting the feed. Disable this and the feeds work perfectly. Enable bbpress and the feeds to the newsletter show the full text rather than the summary. I will update on the bbpress forum post I opened previously.
The RSS feed we are using is a simple category feed from our “Featured” category. Which Buddypress plugins would be interacting with blog posts? I’m new to BP.
We use RSS script merge tags in Mailchimp to pull our feed through from our wordpress site each week and automatically send out a newsletter to our subscribers:
This was working perfectly with a title, image and summary for each post, but when we enabled Buddypress with bbPress, each item on the newsletter would show the full text of the post rather than a summary. Once Buddypress was deactivated, the Mailchimp newsletter was given just the summary again for each post and worked perfectly.
So with buddy press enabled, the RSS feed to the newsletter is messed up, yet when disabled, the feed to the newsletter displays perfectly. Doesn’t this mean buddypress/bbpress is messing it up?
