Image Thumbnails

After some more testing it appears that this plugin is causing an error:

Non-static method WP_Feed_Cache::create() should not be called statically

I disabled and tested other plugins and they’re not causing any errors. These are only generated with this plugin running.

The problem is with $enclosure->get_thumbnail() not generating a URL. I have tried figuring out a solution without any success ??

Everything is working as expected otherwise.

Also found this https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/29204

Fingers crossed there’s an easy solution!

Hi Jarod,

Looking at the RSS feed you’ve shared, it does not have media:thumbnail tag.
Only when the RSS feed has that the thumbnail will be displayed.

Please see below RSS feed for example. You will see thumbnails in the feed.
https://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/politics?tid=lk_inline_manual_2&itid=lk_inline_manual_2

In your case, the post content has images. They are not considered as thumbnails.

I’m the author of the ticker feature. Since you are very interested, you can use the other plugin (rss retreiver) and use the ticker functionality on your own.

Include the ticker file.
<script src="https://rawcdn.githack.com/vaakash/jquery-easy-ticker/23d091886c2536ff7d158149d3e6d815ce2c9923/src/jquery.easy-ticker.js"></script>

and activate the ticker by pasting the code below.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    
    $('.wp_rss_retriever').easyTicker({
        direction: 'up',
        easing: 'swing',
        speed: 'slow',
        interval: 3000,
        height: 'auto',
        visible: 0,
        mousePause: true
    });

});
</script>

Thanks,

Awesome. This is a good work-around, easy solution ??

Here’s my real-world application https://jarodthornton.com/2020/05/01/converting-static-html/

Cool..

I suggested the manual way because, you have shared techcrunch’s feed.

The feed you are currently using has images in description itself.

So in Super RSS Reader itself, you can simply enable description with “enable full or rich description” and you will get results like below.

You can switch back to Super RSS reader if that works for you.

Thanks,

I wanted to use Super RSS – I really tried to figure out why it wasn’t working per my original post. See this example using the real feed I am working with: https://adopttheweb.com/demo/another-test/

… Enable full or rich description …

I have no idea how this got away from me? CSS to hide the source below…
