Missing Images in RSS Feeds
Let me start by saing, I absolutely hate it when something computer related is not working for me.
In preparation for a future post, I was messing around with RSS feeds. It was during this time that I discovered that my images were not showing up in my RSS feeds. Now this isn’t really a big problem, but hey…I want my feed to have some pizazz! After all, I use images in my post to capture reader’s attention, so I why shouldn’t I do the same in my RSS feed?
It took me a long time to figure out what was going on, and thanks to this post, I was able to finally get the whole thing working. Turns out that in my Wordpress files, (and remember I’m using 2.1), I had a problem in my wp-rss.php file under the block of code that starts with “…php if (get_option(‘rss_use_excerpt’))…” Using the code in that post I just linked to, I replaced some code and was good to go. But don’t think that it was as easy as that for me. It took me 2 hours or so to find the solution and to get it all working. (My apologies to all those who saw all these posts named Test, Test2, Test3, and Test4).
