Thanks,

Hello Nilu,

Thanks for writing in! WordPress generates an excerpt automatically for your rss feed by selecting the first 55 words of the post. If in case you are using Cornerstone in creating any of your post, the Cornerstone formatting shortcodes will not be rendered in your rss feed. This is what happen in your posts. To better display the rss excerpt, you have to use the manual excerpts. To add an excerpt to a post, simply write one in the Excerpt field under the post edit box. Please see the screenshot below: http://prntscr.com/9j98do

Excerpts are optional hand-crafted summaries of your content that can be used in your theme. Learn more about manual excerpts here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt

If ever you want to make sure that the Cornerstone formatting shortcodes will be renderd in your rss feed, please add the following lines in your child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'do_shortcode');
add_filter('the_content_rss', 'do_shortcode');

Hope this helps.
