When importing a feed into a custom post type does it make any difference if I store the feed description in the post_excerpt field versus the post_content field? Is there some processing that gets applied via WordPress when I save content to any of those two fields?
Saving into post_excerpt or post_content
There is no difference in storing data into the
post_excerptfield versus thepost_contentfield.If you look at the source code (line 2700) you will notice both
post_excerptandpost_contentwon’t be filtered.
