[Plugin: podPress] 144 X 144 image not showing in RSS ???

Hi Shawn,

the RSS image of this feed is “https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/white_backgrnd_-e1296586478840.png” and that image is 300×300 pixels large. That is to big and that is most likely the reason why some feed readers or the iTunes Store does not show the image.

The image behing the link (“https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/white_backgrnd_300-e1294810162229.jpg”) is a 144×144 pixels image.

Furthermore the iTunes:image is still the default image (“/wp-content/plugins/podpress/images/powered_by_podpress_large.jpg”). You can use a 600×600 pixels image instead.

If you change the image files then change their names too. That will signalize e.g. the iTunes Store to refresh the cached image.

Tim

Hi and thanks Tim,

I am a bit confused:

the RSS image of this feed is “https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/white_backgrnd_-e1296586478840.png” and that image is 300×300 pixels large.

This image is entered in my podpress setting under “iTunes:Image” under the “FM” category.

Also, I dont see “…images/powered_by_podpress_large.jpg” in my RSS feed. I would consider its absence to be correct…?

The image behing the link (“https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/white_backgrnd_300-e1294810162229.jpg”) is a 144×144 pixels image.

This is the image I have entered under “Blog/RSS Image (144 x 144 pixels)“, so shouldn’t it be the RSS image of this feed?

Also, I just this morning changed “…white_backgrnd_300-e1294810162229.jpg” from a .png to a .jpg file just to test.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Shawn

Shawn,

try to validate https://pwradio.net/fm/?feed=podcast with https://validator.w3.org/feed and you will see that the <image> (RSS image) is the following:

<image> <url>https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/white_backgrnd_-e1296586478840.png</url><title>Paddy-Whacked Radio FM Broadcast! » Paddy-Whacked Radio FM Broadcast!</title><link>https://pwradio.net</link> <width>144</width> <height>144</height> </image>

As you can see the RSS image is https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/white_backgrnd_-e1296586478840.png and if you open this image in your browser you will see that its size is 300×300 pixels.

But I have also tried this https://pwradio.net/category/fm/feed/ URL which is the URL of the feed of the category “fm” in the current permalink scheme and the RSS image is different there: <image> <url>https://pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/white_backgrnd_300-e1294810162229.jpg</url><title>Paddy-Whacked Radio FM Broadcast! » Paddy-Whacked Radio FM Broadcast!</title><link>https://pwradio.net</link> <width>144</width> <height>144</height> </image>

The iTunes:image in this feed is https://cdn.pwradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/white_backgrnd_3001.png and this is an image with 300×300 pixels which is okay. But the iTunes:image in the https://pwradio.net/fm/?feed=podcast feed is the default image.

So your settings are probably right but the question is whether or not https://pwradio.net/fm/?feed=podcast is your current feed of the category “fm”.

This is the image I have entered under “Blog/RSS Image (144 x 144 pixels)”, so shouldn’t it be the RSS image of this feed?

Yes.

Also, I just this morning changed “…white_backgrnd_300-e1294810162229.jpg” from a .png to a .jpg file just to test.

jpg, png or gif are allowed image types.
