Duplicate featured images in feed

    Reposting this as new, thought I had the first time, apologies…

    Hi Robin,

    Great plug-in, solves a problem I have with my MailChimp RSS campaign getting ugly when some of my writers post monster photos.

    A question, which frankly is an issue with a new theme I’m using, but which I thought you might have ideas on since you clearly know the in and outs of WP RSS, MailChimp, etc…

    In my feed I now get both the featured image and its thumbnail, which both show up in the MailChimp email. See https://millstonenews.com/feed

    Theme authors don’t know what to do. Any thoughts?

    Follow-up:

    As you suggested, I tried adding this to functions.php, but that gave me three (!) images — two regular-size and one thumb. Seems like there’s something funky happening with the new theme. And no, it’s certainly not your plug-in.

    add_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'rgc_add_featured_image_to_feed', 1000 );
function rgc_add_featured_image_to_feed( $content ) {
	if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
		$content = get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), 'mailchimp', array( 'style' => 'display:block;margin: 0 auto 12px;' ) ) . $content;
	}
	return $content;
}

    Anyway, thanks for the reply.

    Yes, you definitely do not want that code–sorry, I was intending only to ask if you had added it to the site (since you were posting on that thread).

    You suggest that this is related to the new theme. Can I confirm, please–are you 100% positive that this was not happening with your previous theme? Do you have a copy of your site where you can activate the old theme, or a default theme, and see if the behavior continues? If you are using this Newspaper theme from Themeforest, then I do not think it’s related to their theme, as I’ve checked the feeds on the demo site and the thumbnails are not showing there.

    Can you list what plugins you are running on the site? Has anyone done custom work to add functionality to your site? From what I can tell, either a plugin, or some custom code tucked away somewhere, is adding code very similar to that example code, using both the_content_feed and the_excerpt_rss filters. At this point, it is a question of detective work to figure out where those are being added in.

    Thanks for your detailed reply. I’ve figured it out… it’s a plug-in called Feedzy, which I’m using to parse and display external RSS feeds on the site. Not sure why it’s also reformatting my own feed… in any event, I disabled it and the problem was solved.

    Now I just need a good replacement for Feedzy ?? Thanks again.

    Glad you figured it out!

    I have not used this plugin, but it appears to be well liked: WP RSS Aggregator. The repository is a free version but there are premium addons which you may find helpful. It may be worth considering.

    Thanks. I had already found and installed that, does the job. And my MailChimp RSS feed is back to normal, plus with properly sized images thanks to your plug-in.

    Cheers.
