Feed images not rendering on frontend but exist in the source code

Hey @chrisv234,

Thanks for using Feedzy and reaching out.

I have checked the Feed url on Simple pie and I am unable to see any images on the feed, see here – https://vertis.d.pr/v/MW64Cy

Can you please share screenshots/screencast of how it appears at your end?

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi,

this is because I have access to the feed I mentioned in the original post and I am trying various scripts and plugins for adding images on the feed. I think you accessed the feed’s url when I had the script disabled so there were no images.

Since wordpress does not add automatically featured images on the feed I had to use a script. I think the problem lies on the wordpress feed regeneration cycle.

I will come with more info on the following days, when I conclude my tests.

Hi,

after serveral days of testing my conclusion is that it was not Feedzy fault to begin with. It is the WordPress feed cycle to blame. WordPress has a 12hour cycle and several snippets I tried to instantly update my feed did not work.

The problem was that the feed I wanted to use on Feedzy had no images. I used the following snippet to add featured images to the feed but because of the 12hour WordPress feed update cycle, the images weren’t showing on Feedzy. However, after this 12hour period, the images finally showed on Feedzy. I also noticed that the snippet added the image code instantly on my website.com/feed/ and on the https://simplepie.org/demo/ but the images only showed on Feedzy after 12 hours.

// Source: https://woorkup.com/show-featured-image-wordpress-rss-feed/#add-featured-image-rss-feed-code

function featuredtoRSS($content) {
global $post;
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
$content = '<div>' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'medium', array( 'style' => 'margin-bottom: 15px;' ) ) . '</div>' . $content;
}
return $content;
}
 
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'featuredtoRSS');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'featuredtoRSS');

Regards,

Chris
