How to Set Up the Excerpt Options for E&T
As soon as you install and activate the Excerpts & Thumbnails add-on, two new sections will appear in the Settings section of WP RSS Aggregator.
The first is called Excerpts. Excerpts settings can make a feed:
- Provide an excerpt summary.
- Provide a trimmed down excerpt using Word Limits.
- Indicate the end of the excerpt
- Provide a “Read More” link to direct users to the original source site.
