Consider adding a reminder that Micro.blog needs “Full text” feeds from WordPress

[sardisson]

We’ve seen several instances of people using WordPress having “bizarre” issues with their posts as they appear on Micro.blog (no formatting, no images, etc.). This is usually caused by Settings, Reading, For each article in a feed, show being set to “Summary” instead of “Full text”.

In the RSS and JSON Feed section of the Setting Up WordPress article, it might be useful to add a brief note about that setting, as people may have had it set to “Summary” for other reasons and not immediately realize it’s affecting postings to Micro.blog.

Weirdly, this setting is different on hosted WordPress. For that you need: Manage -> Settings -> Writing -> Feed Settings -> switch off Limit feed to excerpt only

It was a setting in the WP Twenty Nineteen theme. It was set to only show excerpts on the main page so no photos would show. Changed that and it's now working.

I think we need to update the help to mention excerpts too.
