Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More

FAQ

SUPPORT

Visit the WordPress support forum here for free plugin support only. Premium support is provided through our Premium Knowledge Center and by contacting us from your WordPress Dashboard plugin settings page.

How do I use it? Where do I go to edit plugin options?

After successful installation and activation, go to “Featured Images” settings in your WordPress Dashboard. Look for it in the black left sidebar. This is where you can configure this plugin and find links to support.

Las imágenes no se alinean o redimensionan correctamente

Por favor, ten en cuenta que la alineación y el tamaño de CSS a veces es eliminado dependiendo del lector/servicio de RSS que estás usando y puede necesitar CSS personalizado dentro del servicio que estás usando (Mailchimp, etc)

No images showing in your RSS feed?

Always check your raw feed first. Validate your feed is working here https://validator.w3.org/feed/ and you can use other services to preview what the feed displays visually.

If the images are NOT showing up in your raw feed with our plugin installed and activated, please visit the forum to submit the issue if you use the free version or contact our Premium support page if upgraded.

If they are showing in the raw feed, then it’s a reader service issue and not a feed issue with this plugin.

Be sure your site is NOT blocking image requests that do not have the referrer domain set in the request header, usually an option or setting labeled «protect images» or «disable image hotlinking». If there’s not an obvious plugin cause of this, it could be a CDN like Cloudflare, or some lines like these in your .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://domain.com/.$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://www.domain.com/.$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ – [F,NC]

Images ARE showing in RSS but not showing in Mailchimp

First, make sure the RSS feed URL set-up in Mailchimp is correct and validated. Validate your feed is working here https://validator.w3.org/feed/

Please see our Mailchimp specific help if all of the above is correct and you still can’t view the images in your Mailchimp email.

Images ARE showing in RSS but not showing in Hubspot

First, make sure the RSS feed URL set-up in Hubspot is correct and validated. Validate your feed is working here https://validator.w3.org/feed/

If images are showing up in your feed data, then it may be a Hubspot specific setting, and you may need to enable images in the Hubspot feed reader, as mentioned in these Hubspot articles:

If it’s still not working, it’s best to contact Hubspot support to see if they can help with how to link up the image in the RSS description field, or the image in the Media tag, to the RSS item URL.

Double images showing

You might have both the featured image set, as well as a body image inserted. Delete the body image to have one image show up. If your theme doesn’t show the featured image, and you’re adding a body image so it shows, then either change themes or customize the theme so it displays the featured image – it can be easy or hard, depending on how the theme is coded and styled.

This issue can occur in some services when using advanced design features. Our Premium version fix duplicate images issues with an option to use Media tag images only. It can fix duplicate images issues when using image tags for advanced template designs.

How does the plugin work with Mailchimp?

There are two ways our plugin works within Mailchimp, the free way and the Premium way.

The free way: It prepends the part of the RSS feed with the image URL, and so in Mailchimp using the RSSITEM:CONTENT or RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL merge tag will show the image successfully, with two caveats: one, if your website is not on https, Mailchimp’s Preview Mode has an issue with the images, but a test or real email send should work fine. And two, you may need some custom CSS to style/size it.

The Premium way: When you check the Media Tag option, it creates and includes the Media:Content block, and then in Mailchimp you can use the RSSITEM:IMAGE merge tag, and place the image wherever you like, create custom designs, etc. Those same two caveats apply, non-https websites may not show the images in Preview Mode but should work when sent, and custom CSS is even more desirable, which we can help with, and which is why it’s a Premium option.

Blurry images in Mailchimp or other Services

Blurry images usually means the size selected in the plugin’s option page is too small. Try increasing it, or using «Full» size. If still blurry using Full, then the original image size uploaded is too small, upload a larger image.

The other option is to use some custom CSS to display the image(s) smaller in the email, max width should always be 600px for Mailchimp, so make sure your images are at least that large, and ideally exactly that width, with a reasonable height (300-500px typically).
