    Hi there!
    An interesting quirk I’ve discovered when attempting to parse RSS to the featured image of each post:
    When I hit import, the posts import beautifully with the title, content and the podcast audio itself. What’s weird is our default cover art is placed on podcasts that do not actually have cover art imported on the podcast host side of things. This is actually great! However, for podcasts where a cover art has been assigned on the host side of things, no art is sent through the importer.

    Here is the link to the RSS feed

    I’m wondering if there’s an issue with the syntax surrounding where the photos are actually kept within the feed code.

    Things I’ve made sure of:

    • Importer version 1.2.3.
    • WordPress Version 5.5.3
    • Checked for this particular issue elsewhere in the forums
    • All previous iterations of the posts moved to trash and then removed from trash.

    Below is an example of an item I’m talking about. This item contains image links in a few spots, however brings about no images when imported.

    It’s a new day, and it appears new uploads work correctly with the correct art. It was potentially a problem with retroactive pictures? I’m still having issues with previous episodes not uploading the proper picture but the most recent one is accurate.
    Here is it’s <item> if that helps anyone else in the future:

    Hi @msjadmin,

    Thanks for using our plugin!
    Just tried to run an import with your feed and it appears all episodes do have images.
    Some have custom images and some have the default image, but all episodes did import an image.

    There could be an issue if you already have past episodes with images with the exact same filename, but usually this shouldn’t be a problem.

    I’m going to mark this ticket as resolved, but please do let me know if you have any questions!
