RSS feeds – banners, errors and blog lovin'

  • Hi there,

    RE: RSS

    I am new to WordPress and new to most elements of website development etc.

    I have a website https://www.livealifeoftravels.com, which is a travel website. My aim is to keep the site professional, clean and appealing to the eye. I am still getting there.

    Recently I have had notifications in regards to RSS errors and have done plenty of research on there forums and online and cannot seem to solve them. I was hoping someone could help:
    1. how do I know if I have RSS errors? Previously, a search told me I had six, and now I tried another ‘checker’ and it says none. What’s a good checker to use?

    2. RSS banner/image – is it important to have this on my site for all to physically see?

    3. Blog lovin’ – I am using blog lovin’ and most posts have come up on the site, however, not the pictures.
    I read on forums about going to “Settings”, “reading” and changing to full text, which I have done. The pictures still do not appear on blog lovin’ and obviously it looks boring.

    Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance.

    Clare

    1. I prefer https://validator.w3.org/feed/

    2. I still think so, but then again most feed readers now allow you to just enter the site’s URL, which they then check for meta tags stating the feed URL (which most WordPress themes include in the <head> section). I guess it depends on how easy it is for you to add an RSS banner/image. ??

    3. You’ll need to check with Blog Lovin’ on that. If you have full text enabled, then your feed will include all of the content, including images. The problem would then be more along the lines of Blog Lovin’ not collecting those images to display.
