I’ve searched RSS plug-ins and can’t seem to locate a solution. Any help or suggestions?
I realize the following thread exists:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-include-a-picture-in-rss-widget
However, I can’t believe that a PHP mod. or hack for this doesn’t exist? Either a mod to the widget or a separate plug-in that i have not been able to locate…
I would greatly appeciate any help on this matter…?
One solution is in that thread you linked to, second post down.
Obtain the HTML code for the RSS link with icon (from Feedburner, for example), then use a text widget, title it what you want, and paste the code in the text widget.
Or, if you don’t want to use Feedburner, create the icon yourself, upload it to your images folder on your server, created the RSS link with icon yourself, and paste it into the text widget.
I’m not sure why you’d want to hack the default RSS widget when this solution is quite a bit simpler.
thank you for your reply!! however, what you state is not what i’m trying to achieve. i want to include the images passed by the publisher of the rss feed (not a local image or chicklet). so, when viewing a specific rss feed on my wordpress home page viewers would not only see the title of the news item but ALSO the image associated to it via XML or whatever by the publisher… this should be possible as long as the publisher passes this data, correct?
