    Minimalist style:
    What I try to achieve is to have this rss retriever to show just 1 item, with only the header and the picture. This would be no problem if only the image didn’t get cropped and all blurred. I wish the image to just resize from the original to the feed, without blurring.

    How can I achieve this? In the plugin-css I suppose? I have tried but none of it seems to work.

    
    .wp_rss_retriever li {
    	margin-bottom: 10px;
    	list-style: none;
    }
    
    a.wp_rss_retriever_title {
    	display: block;
    	margin-bottom: .5em;
    }
    
    /* Crop image to be a thumbnail */
    .wp_rss_retriever_image {
    	position: relative;
    	float: left;
    	margin-right: 0em;
    	margin-bottom: 0em;
    	width: 260px;
    	height: 130px;
    	overflow: hidden;
    }
    
    .wp_rss_retriever_image img {
    	position: absolute;
    	left: 50%;
    	top: 50%;
    	height: 130px;
    	max-width: 260px;
    	max-height: 130px;
    	width: auto;
    	-webkit-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    	  	-ms-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    	      	transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    
    	object-fit: cover;
    
    }
    
    .wp_rss_retriever_image img.portrait {
    	min-width: 260px;
    	min-height: 130px;
    }
    
    a.wp_rss_retriever_readmore {
    	display: inline-block;
    }
    
    .wp_rss_retriever_metadata {
    	margin: .5em 0;
    	font-size: 75%;
    }
    
    /* Clear floats */
    .wp_rss_retriever ul:before,
    .wp_rss_retriever li:after,
    .wp_rss_retriever_metadata:after,
    .wp_rss_retriever_metadata:before {
    	content: '';
    	display: table;
    	clear: both;
    }
    
    .wp_rss_retriever_credits {
    	text-align: right;
    	font-size: .5em;
    }

    By the way. Could it be that I need to do something in this line?

    [wp_rss_retriever url=”https://www.woonnieuws.nl/” items=”1″ excerpt=”none” read_more=”false” credits=”false” new_window=”true” thumbnail=”” cache=”7200″]

    Maybe my question is not clear?

    I don’t wish to have a small part of the image as a crop and enlarged with blur like it is now. I would like to have the image resized to column-width. Alas my knowledge of php isn’t enough to see how I can change this in the code.

    Still hoping for help. Else I need to go and find another plugin to do this.

    Hi @paula013, do you have a link to your page?

    The link is: https://huis.paula-anguita.nl/
    But I have already removed the plugin.

    The conclusion after a lot of searching is, that the damage done to the image wasn’t caused by the plugin, but by the Blogger / Blogspot software, where it was hosted.

    The Blogger-website that I used for the RSS-feed is: https://www.woonnieuws.nl/2019/03/aardgasvrije-wijken-in-amsterdam-vijf.html

    It crops the used image to 72 by 72 pixels. This thumbnail was then picked up and used in the RSS-feed, so that the image in the RSS-feed got weird and blurred.

    Hope this info helps to improve the plugin. But if you need more info, let me know.

    And by the way: I read last January that RSS is no longer supported by Mozilla. How does that perhaps inflict RSS?

    Thanks for the update!

    I have the same question – images are ridiculously blurry by blogger. Would love to know the fix.

    It’s 3 months ago since I asked. I don’t think there will be a fix. Will there?

    Unfortunately, there is not much we can do if the RSS source is only providing cropped or blurred images.
