[Resolved] How To Fix Excerpt Text In RSS Feed

[Rachel]

Hi there
I use the following snippet to add the Read more linked text to my manual excerpts on the site, but the issue is in my RSS feed which I use to send automated emails to my list – the Read more text appears after the excerpt text on the RSS post description (unlinked – see below example).
Current Snippet:
add_filter( ‘wp_trim_excerpt’, ‘tu_excerpt_metabox_more’ );
function tu_excerpt_metabox_more( $excerpt ) {
$output = $excerpt;

if ( has_excerpt() ) {
$output = sprintf( ‘%1$s %3$s‘,
$excerpt,
get_permalink(),
__( ‘Read more’, ‘generatepress’ )
);
}

return $output;
}

RSS Feed Excerpt Text Example:
This is my manual excerpt text. Read more The post Title Of Post appeared first on Site Name.

How can I remove the read more text which appears between the excerpt and the final sentence in my RSS description?

Thanks,
Rachel

Hi there,

in your snippet, this line:

if ( has_excerpt() ) {

change to:

if ( has_excerpt() && ! is_feed() ) {

This will check if it is NOT (!) the feed, before adding your read more

Great that seems to have worked – thanks for the help David!
