Hi,
This is an interesting problem. I checked your feed and the reason why the images are sometimes not pulled is that the feed uses a ‘media:thumbnail’ field in many cases. This is not supported in FAF ( altough I’ll write it down if I ever come to do updates ).
Fortunately there is a workaround for this. Go to the feed settings -> Custom Post Settings ( this is FeedWordPress, not FAF ). Then enter as key : ‘enclosure’ and value ‘$(media:thumbnail/@url)’ ( without the ” both ).
Try to resyndicate posts that are not working.
Also, another remark. You have the ‘images to process’ setting to 1, this means it will -only- save locally the first image it finds. This however doesn’t mean that the other images are removed. “Remove unselected images” setting does that.
In your case the ‘Playful Pet Gifts’ post will save the cat locally, but the yellow bird is untouched because of this setting. I think that’s not what you intend to do.
The Custom Post Setting coding seems to have worked. Thank you very much for your assistance!!!
You’re welcome, I’m glad it worked for you.
I had the same problem, this worked wonderfully, thanks!
hi all,
I’ve already tried this “workaround” you said, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.
The feed I’m trying to get is this one:
http://www.turistacidental.com/testes/news/feed/
The settings I have on FAF, are the following:
Syndicated Posts & Links Settings (no individual feed settings):
Advanced Filters
Filter processing settings : Execute filters for all feeds first
Image filters
Save images locally
Remove images from excerpt
Resize image to: Medium
Images to process 1
Remove unselected images
Set featured image
Somehow, when I manually do the update, I get this in the “report”:
Doing filter:faf_image_filter
Execute image filter
Image process
No image matches
I really need to have the featured image set automatically, so that I can show on another website, the latest news from the site stated above.
I already tried to de-activate all plugins, and the problem remains.
Can please somebody help me with this? I would be thankful 🙂
It should pick up the images from that link since it seems to be quite straightforward. Did you check if you are not running some remove HTMl filter first?
It seems that the problem in this topic is not relevant to your problem.
