    When i try to import rss feeds from other blogs or article directories into my wordpress site i see only summaries of articles. When i click on them there is no full article or at least link to original source.

    How should i setup wordpress in order to show my visitors full text.

    Btw. Option to show full text is turned on.

    It depends on the plugin you're using to pull the RSS feeds

    The other blogs use WP as well?

    Usually the case is that the RSS feed is just a summary of the article so people can't just steal the whole thing, they must go to the original site.

    Keep looking for different RSS feeds that contain the complete article is all i can suggest :)

    Some plugins do grab the entire article. I wouldn't recommend that though, you're far more likely to get into hot water with the content owners...
