How to use with MailChimp?

You’d have to modify a Mailchimp template to display the photos and content as you like, usually adding custom CSS classes they’ve created.

I’ve used this code in Mailchimp to modify the image CSS and RSS output myself, feel free to modify it as you like:

<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>

I hope it works out for you. Contact Mailchimp for more info on customizing their templates.

Hi, yes my MC template has an image tag of |RSSITEM:IMAGE|*

But it seems from their documentation that the RSS feed itself must also contain <media:content> tags to identify the image; on reviewing the feed generated by the ‘Featured Images in RSS w/ Size and Position’ plugin, I’m not seeing this tag present anywhere

It’s mentioned here and here.

Not sure, I know lots of people are using it just as I included above, with the RSSITEM:CONTENT and it pulls in the image using that, with the image placed using the CSS.

Try it that way instead?

Using RSSITEM:IMAGE isn’t supported yet because the plugin doesn’t output the media:content tag, but I’ll look into adding it, it looks pretty simple, it’s more a matter of time. I’ve received only 1 contribution for this plugin to date – so it’s not a high priority for my compared to my large WordPress projects for clients.

Ok, thanks for engaging with me on this ??

Hi, I’m having the same problem. I modified the code as you did, but I am not getting any images just the text.
My regular RSS feed does not produce any images either so I am assuming/ hoping the problem is there? Does it just take time to populate?

There aren’t any images, so I’d look at the posts themselves, they don’t have Featured Images set on them? They must be set as Featured Image, not embedded in the post body, for this plugin to output them to the top of the post in the feed.

Once they appear in the raw feed, then you can move on to troubleshooting the use of the feed in other services.

Yep, that was the problem. I’m a moron. Thank you very much and sorry to have wasted your time.

No worries, glad you figured it out. ??
