In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] AWeber Blog BroadcastThe image should be pulled in as part of the RSS Item Description. If it doesn’t, AWeber may be not allowing it or not showing it properly. You’d have to ask AWeber support about that. If the image IMG SRC code is showing up in your raw feed for each item, then the plugin is working ok.
This plugin is not yet working under Universal Analytics, an update I’ll be pushing live soon will fix that.
You’d add to the shortcode exactly as I showed, adding: html_id=”contact-form-name” into the shortcode, as the first post shows, so your shortcode:
[contact-form-7 id=”7″ title=”Contact form 1″]
would be edited to be:
[contact-form-7 id=”7″ title=”Contact form 1″ html_id=”contact-form-name”]
So in Google Analytics, “contact-form-name” would show up in the stats, give each of your forms a unique ID name.
Not sure why form name doesn’t show up, I think it uses the form title, I’d refer you to the Contact Form 7 FAQ or docs, here’s more info on the form ID:
http://contactform7.com/faq/can-i-add-id-and-class-attributes-to-a-form-element/
Also, please note, if the Google Analytics plugin is set to not track logged in users, then nothing will show up in real-time or in reports when you visit the site.
I need to update the plugin to support Universal Analytics. I’ve already updated it, and will push it to the repository ASAP.
Sorry, yes, to clarify, id=”XX” in the shortcode will output the required html_id=”XX” code in the HTML.
And html_class=”ZZZ” in the shortcode will output the div class=”ZZZ” in the HTML.
The shortcode format is used to generate the proper HTML.
If you view the raw feed source code, the IMG SRC is there so the plugin is adding the code ok, although depending on the post, it seems the XML is being truncated. Your feed doesn’t validate:

Sorry
This feed does not validate.
‘utf8’ codec can’t decode byte 0x80 in position 2038: invalid start byte (maybe a high-bit character?) [help]There’s something causing it to output bad XML, I’d deactivate plugins to see if one of them is causing an issue.
Not yet… I’d have to make them options in the settings. You could simply edit the plugin file directly and change the padding values, but it’ll get overwritten the next time I update the plugin.
I’ll look into adding those options soon.
This plugin only outputs the featured image in the RSS feed. Any display on your site is unrelated to this plugin.
I’d seek help from your theme’s author.
Hi there. Glad the size fixed itself. For the alignment, that’s raw HTML output with simple CSS. Within other parsing engines like Feedburner or Mailchimp, it may not be outputting the same CSS or stripping it out, so it’d be up to the service to offer alternate methods of justifying the image it receives.
Not sure what options feedburner offers if any, but Mailchimp needs different CSS for sure because it assigns .rss-content img to the image it pulls in. Here’s CSS I’ve used inside Mailchimp that works, you could try replacing “float: left;” with “margin: 0 auto;”:
<style type=”text/css”>.rss-content img {
padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;
}
</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>
Hi there,
I see photos in that feed, seems to be working for me. Perhaps there was a cache issue.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Make images link to the post?Ah thanks, I’ll look into that and see if it’s something I can add, depending on how the RSS feeds are output. I think the appending may be content only, no dynamic data like post URL, but I’ll double-check.
Hi Tilna,
You don’t unzip the file, it should be zipped already. If not your computer or browser might be unzipping it automatically… just rezip the folder both those files are in.
Let me know if that works better for you.
Hi Josh,
Thanks so much. Consider submitting a review and/or donation, I appreciate it.
Mailchimp’s RSS campaigns are great. The image is part of the content and not separate, so I think they always output the title first, then the content, and the image is added before the text content, so I’m not sure there’s a way to have it appear before the title. You’d have to contact Mailchimp for details.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Images not centered above textThe feed looks good to me, centered. Mailchimp may need additional CSS in it’s template for it to be centered, it creates it’s own CSS classes inside it’s templates.
I had to rework a template to get the text to wrap around the image with a padding, here’s the body code I ended up using:
<style type="text/css">.rss-content img { padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; float: left; } </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>You could try that but change the “float: left” to “margin: 0 auto” and see if that works.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] No images displayingI checked your feed and see the most recent post has a featured image set, and it works. The plugin just one thing, adding Featured Images to the RSS feed. If you have images in the body, and not set as a Featured Images, then it won’t do much for you.
I’d recommend setting 1 image as the Featured Image for every post, and remove it from the body, and you’ll be good to go. There is a plugin that may help do this for you:
