    Also another issue.
    I have the plugin settings set at: medium & image centered above text

    In desktop/mobile view I get one image only, but it’s on the right. It actually looks ok there. However, when testing email I get two images showing.

    Update:
    ah, it seems when you do a change settings to summary it includes the featured image in the feed now?
    I deactivated your plugin and by using
    *|RSSITEMS:|*
    <h2 class=”mc-toc-title”>*|RSSITEM:TITLE|*</h2>
    By *|RSSITEM:AUTHOR|*<br/>
    *|RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL|*<br/>
    *|RSSITEM:SHARE:Facebook,Twitter,Digg|*<br/>
    <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
    *|END:RSSITEMS|*<br/>

    I get the featured image in the post still.

    Hi there,

    It seems you have a lot going on… I’ll break things down a bit.

    The plugin adds the featured image to your RSS feed. It also outputs align and size CSS. Your feed seems to have a P tag with alignment and margins etc, so something else is adding that.

    If you use the RSS merge tag RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL, it includes the image at the front of the feed. CSS for width and alignment may need to be specific to Mailchimp, depending on your template.

    If setting it to output Summary, then it should still prepend the featured image.

    If seeing two images in the template, you may have images in the body of the content? Or you’re using RSSITEM:IMAGE and CONTENT_FULL together with the Media tag (premium option)? I am not sure how else it’s displaying two images.

    If you’ve deactivated our plugin, and still have the image showing using CONTENT_FULL, then either something else is prepending the featured image to the RSS content, or you have an image in the body.

    Oh, I missed a few other questions.

    RSSITEM:AUTHOR pulls in this RSS element:

    <dc:creator><![CDATA[Admin]]></dc:creator>

    Change the display name of the Author (edit the profile) to change what is displayed in the raw RSS feed. I’d suggest reviewing the raw feed first, to make sure everything is displaying properly there first, before trying to get it working in any other RSS reader.

    RSSITEM:SHARE displays the icons Mailchimp provides, I don’t think there’s a way to change their icons. I’d refer you to Mailchimp for further answers on their merge tags.

    Our plugin just adds images to the raw feed, how services like Mailchimp receive and process the raw feed are up to their implementations and control.

    Thanks,
    Rob
