Understand the feed your site already exposes.
The WordPress collection examines the built-in feed before introducing plugins or customization. That starting point helps separate a content problem, a site setting, a theme change, and a plugin decision into questions you can investigate deliberately.
Read the main guide with a real feed from your own site in view. Compare one published post with its feed representation and note differences in excerpt length, embedded markup, and source links. The related WordPress topic pages explain how to assess a plugin only after you know which behavior you need to change.
