Hi there,
Hmm there is something causing the URLs to be relative, and if you’ve deactivated all plugins, then it must be the theme, try temporarily using a standard theme like Twenty Twenty, and see if it fixes it.
Another theme on another site may not have the same options enabled, or it’s been customized somehow, etc. Trying another theme will pinpoint the issue.
If you’re a premium version customer we can troubleshoot further and review your site for you via a Support request in the plugin’s options area.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] broke my siteHi @impulsivia that sounds like a Javascript error, and our plugin shouldn’t affect those areas of the site. Our plugin is used on over 30,000 websites without issues, so it would be helpful to nail down how deactivating our plugin fixed it, it is probably a plugin conflict of some sort.
Happy to help dig into that if you like, perhaps try looking in the browser’s console and look for errors there, let me know?
@aumkub Any updates planned to fix this for WordPress 5.5?
Hi @mikeallen7 take a look at that first plugin option, image size. You mention that the images are too small, it’s because you have it set to thumbnail, which is very small. Set the image size to Large or Full (original size), and you should have large images that are not granulated/pixelated.
Regarding the clickable images, that only comes across in the raw feed, and then is up to the RSS reader or service to include the link (like Mailchimp for example). It seems IFTTT or Twitter is stripping out the link. I believe on Twitter images are not clickable at all, except to make them bigger.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Pixelated images@wallygusto In your raw feed, the photo size is small, 300px by 225px… set the image size to large or full, and see if that improves the image size in the raw feed, which should fix the image size in everything else. Images in the raw feed should be at least 600px wide for Mailchimp.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] PHP noticesHi @andykeith I will reach out to the Freemius SDK team about those PHP Notices, for now you can ignore any notices as they are not causing any issues with the site. Warnings would be looked at, and Fatal Errors would be cause for concern and immediate fixing.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] RSS Feed Invalid@lllusion Strange, the latest version of our plugin should not generate any errors on it’s own… it may be double namespace errors or other issues with conflicting plugins. Deactivating one of the conflicting plugins would resolve it, which isn’t resolving the root cause.
Create a new thread with the specific error if you’d like help resolving it.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] RSS Feed InvalidHi @lllusion is it the same warning as above?:
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
line 33, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: com-wordpress:feed-additions:1 (11 occurrences) [help]
Please create your own thread with the specifics of your error, as that warning above can be ignored, and was not generated by our plugin, it was created by WordPress.com.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] RSS Feed not showing imageHi Noel,
Our plugin adds featured images to all feeds as defined by WordPress. If it’s a custom feed, it should still work as long as the feed is being generated from a custom post type that declared thumbnail support, which means a featured image can be attached to the post.
For that feed URL, I don’t see any posts at all. Is that the same feed that created the Mailchimp archive URL you sent? It seems to have multiple categories and feeds?
I’m glad this was resolved, it ended up being hardcoded into the theme with no options for disabling it, and it was commented out successfully… keeping in mind that theme updates may overwrite that, and there’s no easy way to override that via the active child theme the way the parent theme is coded.
Perhaps reaching out to the theme authors for assistance with this issue would help.
If you’re a premium user, you can contact us at https://support.5starplugins.com/ and we can then solve it for you. As a free user, we only have this forum to assist you.
If you’d like to troubleshoot this more here, you could paste in a list of your plugins page, we can see which plugins to try deactivating, and see if that helps.
I checked your raw feed, and the feed preview is displaying one image at 1200px wide, with our CSS class webfeedsFeaturedVisual added to it, and another ‘medium’ sized image added to the feed:
<img width="1200" height="800" src="https://organizedchaosblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/IMG_6662_edited-1200x800.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" loading="lazy" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" ... /> <div><img width="288" height="300" src="https://organizedchaosblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/IMG_6662_edited-288x300.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="" loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom: 15px;" ... ></div>So something is adding that medium sized image to your feed already… you would need to find and disable that, it is not coming from our pluign.
Check other plugins like Feedzy, it also adds images to your feed.
It may be some other RSS plugin, or it may be a theme option, etc. It’s best to create a staging site, and then deactivate all other plugins, and see if that helps. If so, activate each plugin until the other image appears, and that’s the plugin that is also adding medium sized images to your feed.
Hi @mahesh3524 so there is something else adding an image to your RSS feed. Deactivate plugins until there are no images in your raw feed. Or check your theme options, or check your functions.php file for code that mentioned RSS or get_thumbnail, etc.
If you can’t find the source, and that image in your feed is working, then perhaps you don’t need our plugin, unless you need it’s sizing or alignment options, or are using the premium version for media and enclosure tags support.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Stopped working some weeks agoViewing your raw feed, it looks better than Feedburner, with your posts showing up ok, so there must be a problem with Feedburner. I would recommend trying your raw feed in Feedly.com and see if that looks better.
However in your raw RSS feed, your images are being replaced with:
src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="a Base64 encoding? You should check your website and ensure there isn’t something affecting your featured images or their external display, a CDN, lazy loading, blocking hotlinking, etc.
Our plugin works fine, if you try it using a plain theme like TwentyTwenty and no plugins, I’m sure it would work ok, we recommend you try this on a staging site, so the issue is outside our plugin. Please reach out if you can’t pinpoint the cause of the image issue via the Contact Us on our support site https://support.5starplugins.com/
