Image import choice

  • I am using Multi RSS importer to import certain announcements from one wordpress site into another. I am using a category feed. My featured image on the original site is banner size because it is part of a rotating banner, but on the site I am importing to, I need a much smaller image. I can adjust the width with the RSS importer, but that makes the whole banner too small. I need to have a different smaller image show up with the event.
    If you look at the sidebar on this page, you can see what I mean. (https://198.46.81.134/~peacht13/children/) I want to be able have it pull a thumbnail image rather than just reducing the banner.

    Hi,
    I just went to your site, and do not see banner image…in any case, I would need to see the RSS feed URL you are using to see if what you want is even possible.

    Allen

    I would like to accomplish this same thing.

    Here is the feed URL: https://www.ustcelts.com/rss.php?categoryID=1

    Notice that the feed offers two image options:

    <media:thumbnail width="100" height="59" url="https://www.ustcelts.com/images/2013-14/_thumb/Asst_Basketball_Coach_Terry_Johnson_FN.jpg" />
            <media:content width="570" height="340" url="https://www.ustcelts.com/images/2013-14/Asst_Basketball_Coach_Terry_Johnson_FN.jpg" />

    WP RSS Multi Importer chooses the smaller image to display. I’d like it to display the larger image (Feedly does this) since its a higher resolution.

    I am using the shortcode method and tried checking the “Check to use any image in the content if possible” in the Shortcode options tab but it did not work. My shortcode looks like this:

    [wp_rss_multi_importer category="4" morestyle="...read more" mytemplate="default.php"]

    Thanks

    right…well, right now, the plugin doesn’t have the capability to chose whether to select the media enclosure( and if several, then which one) vs. the image in the feed. That will likely be available in the next major update.

    Thanks Allen. Simply knowing it might be on the way makes me hopeful. ??

    For now, I’ll just adjust my CSS to accommodate using the smaller image option.

    Cheers.

    Allen,

    In my case, images are not showned. I even checked “Check to use any image in the content if possible”.

    Here’s the feed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/temas/salud/index.xml

    I can see that “media:thumbnail” is included..

    unfortuantly, the program that reads the rss feed (simplepie) cannot find the image in that feed…you can see this here:

    got it…
    thanks for reply
