Hey Steve,

When you enable the option "Get full text from feed", what it actually does is connect to the external site and crawl the contents of the page. If you have disabled it, it wouldn't crawl from the page.

However, if the RSS feed itself already contains the full text, it would then import that full text into the post.

Thanks Mark,
I have disabled "Get full text from feed" but it still seems to crawl the site and Get full text .
The rss is https://hightimes.com/feed/ not the full text.

It's ok, I can edit it.

Hey Steve,

Hm, that is strange as it shouldn't be crawling the site to get the entire content. Is it possible for you to provide us with the access and FTP to the site to check on this?

Hi Mark,
I'm not keen on giving out my ftp details.
Can we approach this some other way?

Hey Steve,

I've tried import this feed https://hightimes.com/feed/ in my locally, it actually this is what this feed provided that content itself, you can try copy this link then paste into your browser.

[gist type="php"]
view-source:https://hightimes.com/feed/
[/gist]

For some reason who create this RSS feed, they already put the full content into this <content:encoded> tag, you can refer on my attached screenshot below so you can better understand why it import those content into Easyblog.

How this import feed work is, it will import this <content:encoded> content into Easyblog.

Unfortunately that was not possible to adjust this since this RSS feed is not created by us.

Thanks Arlex,
But it must be possible to enter a "Readmore" to make it shorter or move the "continue reading" which I imagine is the same thing?

You're welcome.

Yes, that is possible to do this.

After you imported that new feed into Easyblog, you have to manually edit that blog from site backend then insert readmore tag inside the blog content.

If you do not like to manually work for this, you can actually adjust the truncation setting to character type, then you can set how many character you would like to display on the blog listing page.

Hope this will help.

Excellent Arlex!!! I'll mark resolved.

Thanks for updating Steve, glad that your issue is resolved now .
