Title: RSS Featured Image Author: Jordy Meow Published: February 1, 2018 Last modified: October 12, 2023 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/rss-featured-image/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1813214) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/rss-featured-image/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1813214) # RSS Featured Image By [Jordy Meow](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tigroumeow/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rss-featured-image.1.0.6.zip) * [Details](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/rss-featured-image/#description) * [Reviews](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/rss-featured-image/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/rss-featured-image/#installation) * [Development](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/rss-featured-image/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rss-featured-image/) ## Description RSS Featured Image adds the featured image into your RSS feed (in the media:content). It works nicely with Mailchimp (_|RSSITEM:IMAGE|_). In fact, it basically does the same thing as another (and more famous) plugin but without cluttering your WordPress Admin. This is a simple task, and I believe it should be invisible and run peacefuly in the background, with no impact on the UI and the overall WordPress performance. ### Usage By default, the size of the image is “large”. I think it would be a shame to add new options to your WordPress admin only for this, so if you want to change the size, I propose you a filter 🙂 You can include some code in your functions.php to take care of this. This is how you can use it: function thumbnail_size_for_rss( $default ) { return ‘thumbnail’; } add_filter(‘ rfi_rss_image_size’, ‘thumbnail_size_for_rss’, 10, 1 ); ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload `rss-featured-image` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. That’s all 🙂 Can you believe it? ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c91ebdad76d31e9654086fd82c100942e4c5efd0e034aed655b373763c997a50? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-plugin-1282/)󠁿 [Marian Savu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mariansavu87/) August 11, 2024 Superb plugin, does the job perfectly, no cluttering.

However, I have been unable to find a solution that displays the featured image of the post. I found this plugin that seems to offer the solution, but I noticed a message stating: “Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.” Is it safe to use this plugin? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1c3a9ba5b04e2654408e4e2e3275ae52c307a06a7e4165a1033e9cef462b3db5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-9282/)󠁿 [CoffeeandTango](https://profiles.wordpress.org/coffeeandtango/) June 17, 2024 Install, Activate, and Voila! Only problem is image size, which I followed the advice at the Arts Hacker site to easily fix in Mailchimp. Just search for Mailchimp image fix. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6867cf7ef379a93747f7853c8982630607bf8e1262c7ba74f10bdc0de82abe6f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Superlative, full of many features, great support and works perfectly.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/superlative-full-of-many-features-great-support-and-works-perfectly-12/)󠁿 [Fabio Perri](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fabioperri/) February 22, 2024 There is really little to add to the title of this review other than to congratulate the Developer Mr. Jordy Meow. As mentioned in the title of this review, the RSS Featured Image plugin is really well designed and coded, it also turns out to be very streamlined, lightweight and packed with lots of features and most importantly it works perfectly (mind you, do not confuse the errors that can be caused by an incompatibility with obsolete versions of PHP, because using the updated versions of PHP and supported by this plugin, although I have been using this plugin for a long time, I have not yet encountered any errors in this plugin).Basically, with RSS Featured Image, this simple but very powerful WordPress plugin, you can add the featured image in your RSS feed , it also works with Mailchimp and without any impact on the user interface and overall performance of WordPress. Oh I forgot… it is completely free! To finish I still give my compliments to the Developer Mr. Jordy Meow and I can only recommend you to try it because it is really an Excellent plugin for WordPress and I am very proud to have completely translated it into Italian! Greetings and have a nice day. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e89929332f4552002c6219dea519664bc006012fedab7db2be659f69899b8d9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it says on the box](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-on-the-box-96/)󠁿 [axyl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/axyl/) October 24, 2023 Works great and with the filter for setting image size, is perfect for working with MailChimp RSS automation. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/44dd703692b035f86938ed564158d41dfcb6fe3b6acbecf4599600686985238a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Essential plugin for RSS clients](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/essential-plugin-for-rss-clients/)󠁿 [Justin W.
