Hi Sam! Happy to help get this worked out with you.
Are you selecting the Large or Full image size in the plugin’s options?
I do see in your feed that the images are very very large 2048px x 1638px:
<description><![CDATA[<img width="1638" height="2048" src="https://buttermilkbysam.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/oneyolksixcookies.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="chocolate chunk cookies" style="display: block; margin: auto; margin-bottom: 5px;max-width: 100%;" />This is the quickest way to chocolate chip cookie heaven I know: soft, chewy and packed to the rim with chocolate. It’s a scaled down recipe of my extra rich cccs (also known as lazy girl cccs) and makes maximum use of the right ingredients...So if Mailchimp is showing them small, lower quality, etc, then be sure the “Resize images” checkbox is not checked on the RSS URL page.
Let me know on the above and we can see if that helps.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] RSS Feed InvalidIf you’ve deactivated the plugin, and it’s still giving you the warning, it’s not from our plugin. That namespace issue is just an unknown namespace warning, it’s harmless.
Our plugin should also not cause any validation errors, so I’d want to troubleshoot the specific Mailchimp RSS Feed Error, can you paste that in here after activating our plugin?
Leave the plugin activated, and try the validation again, let me know if there are any feed errors, or if you see the “feed is valid” message.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Support for ActiveCampaign?Yes, our plugin adds the image HTML to the front of the Description (Long) RSS item, which you can see in this image of theirs:

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Just can’t get it workingHi Michael,
The free version of our plugin does not include the media:content element, it prepends the IMG HTML to the front of the Description/Body. Many people use the free version with Mailchimp and other services without the media tags being needed for simple use. Since the Media tag is a more advanced use case, there’s a lot of support and implementation help around using it, so as highlighted it’s part of our Premium plugin:

– Media and Enclosure Tags: Some services require it and it allows you to custom design email templates.
Ah ok, thank you, glad it’s working well. Reach out if we can help in the future.
Hi there,
Happy to help figure this out with you!
The feed is validating ok, as seen by the Congratulations message. The other warnings are usually ignored, and I don’t see them being caused by our plugin.
I do see the images in the raw RSS feed, so our plugin is working and doing what it should.
So, can you let me know what stopped working exactly? Any error messages, what you’re using with the RSS feed?
Very nice! Good to hear it’s working for you now, enjoy!
Hi there,
I’m seeing the images in your feed ok. It may have been a cache issue, but the feed looks good to me.
Try Mailchimp now, and use the RSS merge tag *|RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL|* so it pulls in the full HTML RSS feed, which will include images in the HTML before the BODY of the post.
If your site is not HTTPS then the Mailchimp Preview can have issues, try a test send.
Let me know if you have continued trouble with seeing the images in Mailchimp.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Not workingHi there,
It looks like some of the merge tags or other HTML was typed in as text, not in the code box (“<>” icon). So it’s rendering it as text, not HTML.
Try moving it from the template text box, cut it, and then paste it into the <> code area, in the right spots.
Let me know if that helps or it’s not working?

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Problem!Just following up on this, happy to help you figure out your issue, and invite you to update your 1 star review once we solve it. Leaving a 1 star review without trying to solve the problem can be considered very rude by many and reflects poorly.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] wp rocket issueHi there,
From the first warning, it is a menu related plugin causing a conflict, and affecting our plugin’s SDK.
The other warnings are caused by the first warning being output before regular headers can be output first.
I don’t recommend troubleshooting on a live site. I would suggest cloning the site to a staging site, changing the theme, and see if it still happens, or deactivate other plugins related to the menu, and see if it’s one of them causing the issue.
I would also recommend turning off WP_DEBUG on a live site, and it shouldn’t show warnings, but that is fixing the display and not the root cause.
We’ve seen this before, and a plugin update usually resolves it:

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Not pulling in imageHello, I am sorry you are having difficulties with the first image. I checked the feed URL and it is pulling first images for all posts including the one in question. I also checked display in a third party reader, Feedly, to confirm featured images are visually shown and they are. The page you listed is showing “trojan-bowl_2.jpg” as the featured photo from the first image. Can you provide details on the issue and where you are experience display problems?

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Problem!Hi Mehmet, I would hope you would open a support thread before leaving a 1 star review, to try and work out the issue. Our plugin is used and deactivated on thousands of sites, and this is the first time I’ve heard of an error on deactivation.
It’d also be helpful if you included the error message so we could troubleshoot it, and try and fix any issues there may be.
If you’d consider revising your review once we’ve had a chance to address any errors I’d appreciate it.

Hi @line49 I appreciate the extensive and detailed Evernote log.
In looking at the HTML of your feed, the image still being appended looks like it was not from our plugin, because our plugin adds certain CSS classes to the image, which that image does not have.
So, while using content_text is a quick solution, and should work great – which we will recommend to others as well – the real fix would be to find what other plugin/theme/code snippet is adding images to the feed. This is often not easy, because one plugin that didn’t support that suddenly is adding it without any notice, we’ve seen it quite a few times.
However, I will also try to replicate this issue with the latest version that fixed the removal of all images, and that may have been “fixing” your duplicate image problem that already existed – and our fixing it essentially “unfixed” duplicate image issues. We may need to add an option that removes the first image from the feed, as a fix for other images being injected by other means, while also not removing ALL post body images, as was happening.
On the subscription issue, I am not sure why it would have stopped your automatic payments, but renewing it reactived your license it seems. Since you’re a premium user, please contact us using the Contact option within the plugin, or Contact in the top right corner of https://support.5starplugins.com/
