Placement of the image in a MailChimp RSS template

Not at this time, it uses the main RSSItem:Content_full tag, which includes the description, and the beginning of the desc includes the image HTML.

I think if I’m able to revise the plugin to allow for MailChimp’s RSS RSSItem:Image tag, then you could put that above the image, but right now I don’t believe it’s pulling in the featured image into that tag properly, and it may have to do with how the plugin is outputting the HTML.

Im looking for this one too, it seems that specifically with Outlook the enclosure for the image needs to have the media:content tag applied to the image enclosure.

Mailchimp has a guide here:

Can the plugin be updated to work with this? Or is it a matter of needing to manually create a new RSS feed to work with this enclodure format?

HI there,

The meda:content tag isn’t yet supported in this plugin and locks the formatting down so not recommended. That Mailchimp link is 5 years old… instead just use the Mailchimp merge tag *|RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL|* and it will show the featured image and then the body of the RSS item.

You can further style the image and wrapping using Mailchimp-specific CSS, like:

<style type="text/css">.rss-content img {
padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; float: left; max-width: 100% !important;
}
</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>

and someone said this worked for them:

<style type="text/css">.mcnTextContent img { max-width: 100% !important; }
</style>

The CSS class name depends on the Mailchimp template being used, I believe.
