Hey Robin,

It’s Jeff again. I seem to have regressed on the image sizing in my RSS feed. The situation is that I updated my Mailchimp email template design to go to a wider body layout (i.e., no sidebar). Then when I sent a test email I started to getting the same problem with re-sizing that I reference above.

I had updated to version 3.2 of Images to RSS so I went through all the steps we did previously (deactivated and deleted the plug-in, uploaded version 3.1.2, updated permalinks, deleted and reloaded my image). Unfortunately, nothing seems to work this time. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jeff

Yoohoo!!! Victory!

Okay, Robin, just so you (and anyone reading this thread in the future) know what all I did…

I followed your instructions to deactivate and delete ver 3.1.1 and uploaded 3.1.2. I then regenerated the thumbnails for my images and updated my permalinks. This got the RSS feed for my images working properly but they weren’t re-sizing so I went into the RSS-driven campaign set-up in Mailchimp (the very first screen titled “RSS Feed”) and ticked the “Resize RSS feed images to fit template” box. Note that this wasn’t making a difference previously. Then VIOLA! My campaign rendered properly in preview mode, when I pushed it to my mobile app and in my test email.

Now if I can figure out how to get rid of the “The post blah, blah blah appeared first on…” text at the bottom of the body of the blog.

Robin Cornett you are awesome and easily the most responsive plugin/app developer on the planet. Thank you so much for your help.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Robin,

Thanks for you responsiveness…pretty incredible really!

My preference is to do everything inside of WordPress if possible. I have solopreneurship and I’m trying to play IT guy at the moment so keeping it as simple as possible is a good thing.

For something that is espoused as being so “simple” this RSS feed thing is less than straightforward…troubleshooting devolves into unintelligible geek-speak pretty quickly (present company excepted, of course).

Thanks again for your help,
Jeff

Okay, done that and I can see the html feed code (i.e., no error message). However, now it appears that the image is not going through to Mailchimp at all.

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Oh yeah, I have also regenerated all my images as they were uploaded prior to installing the plugin…
