I checked again and that raw RSS feed is good and the plugin is working great, and it may be on the Google News side. I don’t see anything we can do on our end to help fix it.
Perhaps use a staging site and see if WP v5.7.x makes any difference, from the feed content, I don’t think it will.

Hi @openthebible I would suggest testing it if you can revert to WordPress 5.7.2, but on our side, we’ve had no issues on over 30K active installs reporting any issues with 5.8 to date, and I don’t think it included any RSS changes. Again, if the raw feed is working, then the plugin is working, and it may be on the Google News side.
What is the raw feed URL you are using, is it /feed/ or /news/feed/?
I think I found your raw feed.
It looks like the guides are your last 3 posts, but the news items are after that, and they are displaying images as well, so the plugin is working great.
Try adding a cache-buster to Google News feed URL, such as adding “?nocache123” to the end of the URL.
If you’re trying to submit and display only the news posts, then use the /news/feed/ URL instead of your raw feed /feed/ and see if that helps.
Hi @openthebible what’s your raw feed URL?
Are the news articles created as standard blog posts, or something different? They should show up along with other posts like the guides.
Do the guides show up in Google News ok, just not the news articles?
I don’t think the updates would change how the RSS or the feed is working, and we’ve not seen any issues on any other sites, but happy to try and figure out what’s not displaying correctly.
We’ll update our plugin shortly to show Tested up to 5.8 shortly, it works the same but we’ve not changed it in the repo yet.
Hi @openthebible I would double-check your raw feed first, using our tool:
https://5starplugins.com/rss-image-checker/If images are showing, the plugin is working.
Check Google News feed, and perhaps add a cache-buster to your feed URL where it asks for your feed, or see if there’s a way they can clear their feed cache?
The homepage featured picture may not be set as your OpenGraph image. Our plugin does not help with that, but check your SEO or other Opengraph plugin to see what image is set as the OG:Image URL, and you can Facebook’s Sharing Debug tool:

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Php 8.0 errorHi @arskrigitsioniets thanks for reporting this issue, we’ll pass it along to the Freemius.com team, as we use their SDK for our premium checkout and opt-in features. I believe they’ll need to issue an SDK update, and then we’ll update our SDK as well, and push out a new version to address this issue.
It doesn’t sound like it’s a Fatal Error, and should not cause any site issues; you can turn off WP_DEBUG so this output doesn’t affect the admin area until it’s resolved.

In reply to: [Marijuana Age Verify] Need specific page, product or category blockingHi @socialsparkmedia thanks for your suggestion, it’s something we’ve thought about, and may add support for WooCommerce specifically, as well as display on only certain types of URLs (posts, pages, etc), or exclude certain pages.
You’ll see a new version being released shortly, and then we can look at adding more features after that as well.
Ah ok I didn’t realize that you already had… please use the Bug Report form to send us login info, and I can dig into it more.

Oh gotcha. I would still email them, as they can help more with specific troubleshooting as it’s their tool creating the notifications.
As I can’t reproduce it and have no other sites reporting this issue, it will probably be site or server specific issues.
If you’d like me to dig into it more I would need an admin login, use the Bug Report form in our plugin please.
Hmm, I can’t replicate the issue on my end, all notices are sending a POST, receiving a 200 response code, and do not appear again on the back end.
At this point since you’re dealing with multiple plugins using the Freemius SDK, and it’s their SDK notice that is having the issue, I would recommend contacting them regarding this, and see if they can help you debug this across multiple plugins.
They may request resetting or cleaning out all fs_ entries in the wp_options table, or see if it’s related to any Redis or other database caching, because the 200 response should cause it to store the flag in the database that it was dismissed, and is not being refreshed.
I’d try emailing support at freemius.com and see if they can help.
Also, I’ve found a link regarding that Fail2Ban plugin causing similar issues… since it’s a security plugin, it may be blocking all kinds of things:
https://forums.invis.net/t/freemius-trial-notice-throws-400-when-dismissed/127
I also tested on a new site, and I’m seeing this POST request when clicking the Dismiss link:
:path: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?_fs_blog_admin=true
POST: action=fs_dismiss_notice_action_featured-images-for-rss-feeds&message_id=activation_complete
You should see a browser response header code of 200 which confirms that the click was received:
Request URL: https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?_fs_blog_admin=true
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 200Well, that screenshot is showing that it’s for the WP Fail2Ban plugin, not our plugin (Featured Images in RSS).
Was this an example screenshot (not your screenshot), or can you clarify why you’re sending this to us when it’s not our plugin?
Our plugin does use the Freemius SDK which that plugin also probably uses, as our notice is similar, but both should be dismissable, and they are generated using Freemius SDK automatically when a plugin offers a free trial… so any plugin using Freemius SDK has similar notices.
Hmm, very strange, we have over 30,000 active installs and have definitely not had this issue come up that was not a Javascript error causing it.
Let me try a fresh install on my end and try to replicate the admin notice.
Can you send a screenshot of what you’re seeing, so I can confirm it’s an admin alert etc, vs the green bar on our options page (which is not the same thing).
