 * Can you bump the version number, so it shows an update is available? Otherwise,
   it forces a delete, search, install, activate, which is more of a pain.

 * HI there,
 * The meda:content tag isn’t yet supported in this plugin and locks the formatting
   down so not recommended. That Mailchimp link is 5 years old… instead just use
   the Mailchimp merge tag *|RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL|* and it will show the featured
   image and then the body of the RSS item.
 * You can further style the image and wrapping using Mailchimp-specific CSS, like:
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css">.rss-content img {
       padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; float: left; max-width: 100% !important;
       }
       </style>
       <span style="font-size:12px">*|RSSITEMS:|*</span>
       <h2 class="mc-toc-title">*|RSSITEM:TITLE|*</h2>
       Posted on *|RSSITEM:DATE|*
   
       <div class="rss-content">*|RSSITEM:CONTENT|*</div>
       ```
   
 * and someone said this worked for them:
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css">.mcnTextContent img { max-width: 100% !important; }
       </style>
       ```
   
 * The CSS class name depends on the Mailchimp template being used, I believe.

 * Hmm, try clearing the cache? View the feed raw first, and see if the images are
   the right size. Also modify the Mailchimp CSS to affect images, perhaps the CSS
   being used now is set to make images a certain large size. Might need custom 
   CSS work in Mailchimp…

 * I think you’d need to use a larger image for RSS, then via CSS in Mailchimp, 
   display them smaller, and max-width: 100% should be used anyway to ensure mobile
   responsiveness.
 * There’s only one image and size output in the feed using my plugin, so I don’t
   know of a way for the mobile app to pull in anything different, unless they specifically
   coded it to detect and append a filename suffix to the image name that is specified
   via IMG SRC=<url/filename>.

 * It definitely will work within Mailchimp, I and lots of others use it with Mailchimp.
 * You need to use the *|RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL|* merge tag for it to show images,
   and might need to customize the image CSS a bit, see other previous support threads
   for details. It won’t work using *|RSSITEM:IMAGE|* since the images are added
   to the feed description, not as separate items.
 * See [http://kb.mailchimp.com/merge-tags/rss-blog/rss-merge-tags](http://kb.mailchimp.com/merge-tags/rss-blog/rss-merge-tags)
   for reference.

 * Hi there,
 * I marked it as resolved because based on your message and feed, you weren’t using
   my plugin, the feed did not show the images being output. So, either there’s 
   an issue with your site causing the plugin not to work, or it wasn’t activated.
 * I’d love to help further if you contact me via the link within the plugin.

 * You can view the feed using the RSS for Chrome extension:
    [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd?hl=en](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd?hl=en)
 * Then visit your /feed/ URL, and it will show the images if they’ve been added
   using my plugin.
 * Bloglovin may have issues witht the image resolution or size, not sure, or it
   just may take time to show up.

 * Please paste in the exact error message and URL it’s trying to use, and the URL
   you are changing it to. I’ve not seen the problem on other installs, but perhaps
   there’s a path issue if you’re using a custom folder for WP, etc, that may not
   be as common.

 * Did you edit the CSS “.main-menu ul li a” as instructed? The CSS class needs 
   to match your theme’s CSS structure, so when it’s clicked, it fires the jQuery
   event.
 * If you don’t match it, it won’t work.
 * Also, please do not include the top comment, that was copied from one of my client
   sites, so they know who added the code down the road if there are any issues,
   and I mistakenly copied it in.

 * Oh gotcha, I see. In that perhaps look for an RSS widget that displays images
   or the RSS feed unformatted, so it doesn’t strip out the IMG SRC code.

 * Hi Lisa,
 * It seems that RSS widget strips out the images, so you’d have to use a different
   method for showing products… there should be a native WooCommerce widget for 
   showing products from your own site. Using RSS is usually used more for cross-
   site syndication, where the native feed isn’t available.
 * I’m glad it’s working so well in Mailchimp for you. Please leave a review if 
   you can, I’d appreciate it.
 * Thanks,
    Rob

 * I don’t there’s a way for the post importer to import and set Featured Images,
   unless they were included in the RSS feed itself. Good luck, importing RSS feeds
   to create your own posts is a tough way to go if you want them to have images,
   and their images in your own feed. Be sure you have necessary permissions for
   copying etc as well, I’ve seen people get emails from lawyers for copying photos
   etc.
