'the_content_rss' hook not working

[scribu]

'the_content_rss' filter does not trigger the callback function. Here is an example:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: TestRSS
Plugin URI:
Description: Test plugin
Version: 0.1
Date: Mar 31th, 2008
Author: Antonio Perez
Author URI:
*/

function test_rss($text)
{

$text = "Hello world";
return $text;

}

add_filter('the_content_rss', 'test_rss');
?>

This error has also been present in version 2.5

It appears that rss2 and atom are run through the_content not the_content_rss. Here is a little patch that should run it through the correct filter hook anyway. needs testing though.

Tested and works for me now. Thanks.

Closing as invalid.

the_content_rss hook is called by the_content_rss function.

It sbhould not be called by the_content function that should as it does not call the_content hook.

westi: You're right about how it should work, but the problem is that apparently the_content_rss hook doesn't always get called--i.e. with Atom or RSS2 feeds. It looks to me like mystyman's patch addresses the problem that's caused by

I think this bug should be a duplicate of 8706 at this point.
