' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) . '
'; $content .= get_the_content(); } return $content; } add_filter( 'the_excerpt_rss', 'rss_post_thumbnail' ); add_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'rss_post_thumbnail' ); ``` * As you may know, Nelio External Featured Images only works if your theme uses either `get_the_post_thumbnail` or `the_post_thumbnail`. Apparently, this is the case in the RSS feed. Then, why does this not work? * Our plugin prints the following image tag: * ```
```
* (it’s not exactly _that_ tag, but it’s pretty close).
* In order to overcome this issue, we need to use a slightly different image tag:
* ```
```
* where the image’s URL is placed in the `src` attribute.
* **TL;DR**
* If you want the image to work properly on RSS, use the following solution:
* ```
function rss_post_thumbnail( $content ) {
global $post;
if ( function_exists( 'uses_nelioefi' ) &&
uses_nelioefi( $post->ID ) ) {
$img = nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( $post->ID );
$content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) . '
'; $content .= get_the_content(); } return $content; } add_filter( 'the_excerpt_rss', 'rss_post_thumbnail' ); add_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'rss_post_thumbnail' ); ``` * I hope this helps! * Thread Starter [nickilewis65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickilewis65/) * (@nickilewis65) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625446) * I entered that code into the function.php and still no images showing * Plugin Author [David Aguilera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davilera/) * (@davilera) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625447) * Can you please share the link to your blog? * Thread Starter [nickilewis65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickilewis65/) * (@nickilewis65) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625450) * [http://lewislanedesigns.com](http://lewislanedesigns.com) * Plugin Author [David Aguilera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davilera/) * (@davilera) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625451) * Is any of the “recent posts” (i.e. the ones that appear in the RSS) using Nelio EFI? * Thread Starter [nickilewis65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickilewis65/) * (@nickilewis65) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625453) * Yes they all are because I have been housing my images on flickr * Plugin Author [David Aguilera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davilera/) * (@davilera) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625455) * I see you’re using version 1.3.x of our plugin, which (unfortunately) had quite a few bugs. * Please, try using the stable release 1.2.0.

It’s pretty strange. * Anyway, try to tweak the previous code and see if you can modify your RSS file somehow (not necessarily using an image). For instance: * ``` function rss_post_thumbnail( $content ) { return 'Testing...'; } add_filter( 'the_excerpt_rss', 'rss_post_thumbnail' ); add_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'rss_post_thumbnail' ); ``` * WARNING: all posts in your RSS should have the same content now (_“Testing…”_). * If all posts have the same content, then the previous code for inserting featured images should work. If this latter change didn’t work, then the problem lies somewhere else. * Thread Starter [nickilewis65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickilewis65/) * (@nickilewis65) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625470) * Not sure I put it in right place cause it did nothing Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘RSS Feed’ is closed to new replies. *  * [Nelio External Featured Image (discontinued) - Available in Nelio Content](https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-featured-image/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-featured-image/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/external-featured-image/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/external-featured-image/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/external-featured-image/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/external-featured-image/reviews/) ## Tags * [rss-feed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/rss-feed/) * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [nickilewis65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickilewis65/) * Last activity: [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-185/#post-6625470) * Status: resolved
