Great that worked…

But now it does not show images..

I have the following settings:

Excerpt length (number of words): “500”

Check to get rid of all html and images in the excerpt “NO”
Maximum width size of images: “150px”
Default category image setting : “Process Normally”
Select how to use the image (in excerpt and/or as the Featured Image): “Excerpt and feature Image”

The feed does have images in it..

Any Idea??

Thank you

Yes, if you look at the feed source, you’ll see the image urls are broken, here is an example of an image URL in that feed

//nt1.ggpht.com/news/tbn/5bpBM1pEYIqexM/0.jpg

That is not a legitimate url for an image. This is why you aren’t getting images.

I don’t make any changes to the url..
I’m using the RSS feed from google news and that is the url that comes from google news in the feed …

If i put that url in a browser it shows me an image…

What makes it a invalid URL????
Is there anyway to get this working with google news??

Your help is very appreciated…

Thank you.

this is what i see in a browser

Yes I understand that is the rss feed from google and in that feed there is the src URL for the image witch is “//nt0.ggpht.com/news/tbn/IIv1MsjPUutPHM/0.jpg”

Now my question is why is this an invalid URL??
If i put this URL –> //nt0.ggpht.com/news/tbn/IIv1MsjPUutPHM/0.jpg
into a browser I do get an image..

is it because the http: is missing??

Is there any way to fix this??

Thank you.

if you want, go into the excerpt_functions.php file and change the verifyimage function to accept this.. I won’t add this to the core of my plugin since this is not a legitimate fix….this is idiosyncratic that to this feed….so you’ll need to hack this as a fix.

Thank you Allen

I made the mods and it worked fine..
