Image Thumbnails

Hi Jarod,

Looking at the RSS feed you’ve shared, it does not have media:thumbnail tag.
Only when the RSS feed has that the thumbnail will be displayed.

Please see below RSS feed for example. You will see thumbnails in the feed.
http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/politics?tid=lk_inline_manual_2&itid=lk_inline_manual_2

In your case, the post content has images. They are not considered as thumbnails.

I’m the author of the ticker feature. Since you are very interested, you can use the other plugin (rss retreiver) and use the ticker functionality on your own.

Include the ticker file.
<script src="https://rawcdn.githack.com/vaakash/jquery-easy-ticker/23d091886c2536ff7d158149d3e6d815ce2c9923/src/jquery.easy-ticker.js"></script>

and activate the ticker by pasting the code below.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    
    $('.wp_rss_retriever').easyTicker({
        direction: 'up',
        easing: 'swing',
        speed: 'slow',
        interval: 3000,
        height: 'auto',
        visible: 0,
        mousePause: true
    });

});
</script>

Thanks,

Cool..

I suggested the manual way because, you have shared techcrunch’s feed.

The feed you are currently using has images in description itself.

So in Super RSS Reader itself, you can simply enable description with “enable full or rich description” and you will get results like below.

You can switch back to Super RSS reader if that works for you.

Thanks,
