Hi Daniel,
I’ve seen that warning before, it seems there’s an issue or error in another plugin or the theme that is outputting the header before our menu code fires, causing the warning. It can be ignored, and WP_DEBUG should be disabled so it does not show publicly.
To troubleshoot it, you can turn on the DEBUG log, and review any errors caused by other plugins that would trigger this warning, or you can try deactiving other plugins until it goes away, to see which one is outputting error info to the header prematurely.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Doesn’t work!Hi @eatfoodanddrink,
It works on thousands of sites, and before leaving a 1 star review, perhaps it’s a simple caching issue that we can help with.
Hi @kia53,
Please reach out to us for support first? I don’t see any emails from you, use the Contact Us link in the plugin, or the Contact Us on our support page at https://support.5starplugins.com/ ?
We appreciate your feedback, and have a 100% success rate of getting images in your RSS feed, and working in Mailchimp. Often Mailchimp requires some CSS, or disabling responsive images, or needs the feed URL adjusted so it’s not cached.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Image widthIn Mailchimp there is a resize images option you can check on the RSS feed page, and it may help resolve the size issue. If not, or it makes images worse, blurry, or too small, leave it unchecked.
Often Mailchimp requires custom CSS using it’s own CSS classes to affect the images it’s adding to the template. You would paste it into the RSS merge tag body Text Block, click on it’s Code <> icon, and paste it at the very top of the HTML code.
For example, this CSS would make the images full-width above the text, and display at a max width of 100% wide in the column it’s in:
<style> .mc-rss-item-img { width: 600px; max-width: 100%; } </style>That should help, let us know if not.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] How to Change Title SizeHi there,
You would edit the title size within the Mailchimp template, editing the title text size options or edit the default CSS.
Look at this page and the links within it for more help on Mailchimp’s templates:
https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-mailchimps-template-language/Hi there,
Just to follow up, I also checked your raw feed… and I don’t see those additional characters at the beginning at all – so it must be on the Mailchimp side of things, in the template, etc.
Let me know if you have continued trouble, happy to help.
There must be a plugin affecting the RSS feed, our plugin adds the image URL to the front of the Description item. It doesn’t contain anything related to Mailchimp itself, I don’t think it’s coming from our plugin. Are you seeing that in your raw feed as well, or only in the Mailchimp feed? Can you try deactivating plugins that may affect RSS and see if the issue goes away?

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Image size not adjustableThat drop-down size option only affects image sizes in the RSS feed, affecting the image file used. Mailchimp may need custom CSS added to the temple images smaller within its delivery system. Often the small sized image source file is sized up to 600px wide by Mailchimp, resulting in blurry images. Custom CSS is needed to avoid those kinds of issues.
There are pinned threads showing some custom CSS examples, as well as plugin support articles.
Our premium version does include support for custom CSS and CSS troubleshooting.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] Space missing before text.Hi there,
Often Mailchimp requires custom CSS using it’s own CSS classes to affect the images it’s adding to the template. You would paste it into the RSS merge tag body Text Block, click on it’s Code <> icon, and paste it at the very top of the HTML code.
For example, this CSS would make the images full-width above the text, with a 20px space below the image:
<style>
.mc-rss-item-img {
width: 600px;
max-width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
</style>Let me know if that helps?
Hi there,
Check your raw RSS feed for the IMG SRC, it should be a URL, not a Base64 encoded image.
Something else (plugin or theme) is Base64 the image, as well as adding the data-lazy-type and data-src, which looks like it’s also using a CDN.
The Lazy Loading could be causing an issue, or the CDN and it’s image optimizations.
All of this is beyond the typical WordPress setup, and so you’d have to start undoing the lazy load and/or CDN and/or deactivating plugins, to see what is causing this issue.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] rss aggregator?Our plugin adds images to your WordPress site’s RSS feed.
If you’re trying to pull in RSS feeds from other sites into your site, the remote sites would need to add images to their feed, our plugin doesn’t help with that.
Let us know if you’re having issues with images in your own RSS feed, we can help further.
I see the images in your feed, but perhaps they don’t like the responsive images code added by WordPress, seen in the srcset below:
<img width="300" height="161" src="https://neavision.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/webmagazine-min-300x161.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="webmagazine" style="margin-bottom: 15px;" srcset="https://neavision.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/webmagazine-min-300x161.jpg 300w, https://neavision.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/webmagazine-min-768x413.jpg 768w, https://neavision.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/webmagazine-min.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Feedly may require larger images of a certain size:
“If the first img in the story has a height and width greater than 450 pixels, that first image will be selected as the featured image. If not, Feedly will try to pick the largest image in the story.”
https://blog.feedly.com/10-ways-to-optimize-your-feed-for-feedly/Our premium version does offer a Disable Responsive Images option, with a free 14 day trial if you’d like to see if it works for you.

In reply to: [Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp & More] 6″ between image and textI see the issue… your feed has some issues with the images, it seems there’s something adding a lazy-load image that isn’t working:
lazyload src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="while the image being added before that is:
src="https://15105.smushcdn.com/440435/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/email-etiquette-07-25-19.png?size=560x315&lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1"I would try disabling whatever is doing the lazy loading, that should not be in the feed, only the website HTML. Perhaps also try turning off smushcdn use, and see if that helps at all, but it looks like those images are displaying ok.
Let me know if disabling the lazyload helps? feel free to visit our support page and contacting us (click on Contact in the top menu) through there to continue troubleshooting further:
