Once activated this plugin will add the following to your sites default rss feed: **_To the rss name space declarations:_** ``` xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" ``` **_To each individual item (if it has a featured image):_** ``` ``` The featured images are not inserted directly into the content of your posts, so you have full control over where and how to present them. If you send out newsletters using a Mailchimp RSS based Campaign, simply place the *|RSSITEM:IMAGE|* merge-tag in your mail template where you want the featured image inserted. **This plugin contains** * 100% clean lightweight code. * 0% JS * 0% CSS * 0% options The plugin uses the hooks ‘rss2_ns’ and ‘rss2_item’, part of the WordPress core API.

Yes, contribute are welcome via [github](https://github.com/mikkelbreum/MB-ImageChimp-RSS-Feed-Enhancer/) Can I control the size of the featured image Yes, the url to the featured image is determined by the intermediate size set by the plugin. By default it will request the url for the default ‘large’ size. You can override this by hooking into the ‘mb_rss_extend_item_media_image_size’ filter. Pass the filter either a string or an array as documented in the [Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src/). You might also want to control the values for the width and height parameters of the image element. By default these are set to “100%” (width) and “auto” (height). This works well with mailchimp for mobile readers. If you want to set these to the actual dimensions of the image you can add the following to your functions.php or a custom plugin: ``` add_adction('init','my_rss_truedimensions', 20); function my_rss_truedimensions(){ remove_filter( 'mb_rss_extend_item_media_image_dimension', 'mb_rss_image_fullwidth' ); } ``` ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7e02066c1cd8835e8bd31673ff55df5311d80460c15a3d61aaea77651b7de97b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect!

There are dozens of so-called fixes and complex plugins online and few of them actually work. This does exactly what is needed in the right way so that it doesn't involve tinkering with CSS or pdp files!
