5 Star Plugins

Hi @fabianglueglue I see the Enclosure tags in your RSS feed, so that all looks good, but I do see some posts, like the 3rd post right now Circle, do not have the enclosure tag in the feed. That is strange, because the plugin should be adding it to every post. I do see some size and other differences with the image on that post vs other posts, it was cropped to a smaller 400×400, and renamed differently, and does not have responsive images either. It is also has lazyloading added (loading=”lazy”), I think there is something else, a plugin or theme option, affecting the image and the feed on that particular post. I see the others look normal in the feed, at larger sizes, and with responsive images, no lazyloading, etc. Try removing the featured image, and add it again in the same way as the others, no cropping or resizing etc.

I would also recommend using our RSS Image Checker tool:

Hi @waynegwillis thanks for the detailed post regarding Chrome display issues. I’ll take a deeper look into this and see about resolving the issue better. Often times the images are too small and cause this issue, and using larger images (such as the images in the first 3 posts) look ok. In any event, we can look at improving the CSS so smaller images aren’t distorted etc.

@eagleeye1000 Thanks for your great review! The plugin code is kept secure and up to date with updates released as needed, but we did miss updating the WordPress Tested Up To version over these last few months, so we’ve pushed out an update for that, and we also updated our licensing SDK to the latest version as well. I appreciate you inquiring about that and letting us know.

Thanks for your response, I would love to solve this. Can you open a support ticket in the forums on this with more details? Version being used, free or premium, where you’re seeing nofollow added, etc?

Hi @aeroflap our plugin does not affect your links at all, some other plugins must be doing this. We simply add images to your RSS feed. Please open a support ticket before making assumptions and leaving bad reviews that involved technical issues that are not validated by our team.

It’s set to display: none by default, and then depending on Display options set, uses Javascript to show or hide it. Can you send me the site URL you have it active on? Do you have it set to Display for all?

Hi @bagrapk can you send me details on what is not working? It is popping up under the slider, or not displaying at all, or ?

Hi @dougrooney this forum is for free support only… For premium support, please use the plugin’s contact form, or our support form at https://support.5starplugins.com/ and click on Email Support in the top menu, we can verify your information, and provide you with the license key. However, it should work once you migrate the domain over and go live on the main domain again, the license will remain active as shown in the screenshot you shared. I would recommend removing that screenshot from your post above as it has client data in it…

Hi @gregwilsonstl yes our plugin helps you add the blog post featured images to your RSS feed.

Once you have our plugin installed and activated, then your RSS feed is updated to include images, and you can submit your normal WordPress RSS feed to NewsBreak I assume, the default blog post feed is simply /feed/ for example, yourdomain.com/feed/

Depending on the format and type of feed data NewsBreak supports, it should work well I think. The free version of our plugin adds the image to the front of the RSS DESCRIPTION element, and the Premium version adds support for MEDIA and ENCLOSURE elements. I would check with NewsBreak and see which type of image element they expect or work with. You can also try the free 14 day trial of the Premium version to see if it works better for you, if the free version does not.

Hi @jmichaelodell Which built in RSS block are you referring to? Is this in an email service provider, or in WordPress? If within WordPress, then the block element may not support images, or may require media tag or enclosure tag be used for images, instead of in the description body.

Use our RSS Image Checker tool to help troubleshoot this more:

You can try the free trial of the premium version to see if the media or enclosure tags solve this issue.

hi @unwantedlife if using the free plugin, they are correct and it does not include enclosure tags which it seems their service requires. Other services like Mailchimp can work with IMG tags in the description.

To use Enclosure tags you would need the Premium version, and we recommend trying the free 14 day trial to ensure it meets your needs.

I see that your theme or plugin related to Fusion has this CSS causing the issue with the height:

.fusion-disable-outline input, .fusion-disable-outline select, .fusion-disable-outline textarea {
 outline: 0;
 height: 20px;
}

Try adding this CSS to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

#emav-overlay input:not([type=checkbox]) {
 height: fit-content !important;
}

It should override the CSS causing the issue and allow our plugin’s buttons to be the height intended. We will look into adding additional CSS to our buttons to help resolve this in a future version.

Ah there must be a CSS conflict with your theme or another plugin that’s affecting the text alignment, let me take a look and see if I can provide you with some CSS that will fix that for you.

Hi there, from my testing, the feed is valid, and I am seeing this result:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwinecouture.it%2Ffeed%2F

Congratulations!
[Valid RSS] This is a valid RSS feed.

Then I see some recommendations that mention this issue:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
line 39, column 0: style attribute contains potentially dangerous content: max-width (75 occurrences)

These recommendations can be ignored, as they are the image CSS added by the plugin in some areas, but I also see that your theme is adding it within the body images as well.

I also see iFrame recommendations:

content:encoded should not contain iframe tag

This is not from our plugin.

Within our plugin, you can try the free 14 day trial of the Premium version to use the Media tag and Enclosure tag options, and that should help resolve the recommendation messages, as they won’t contain the same CSS as the images in the body section.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi @janmazanek I also did a test using the Code Profiler plugin that you mentioned, and our plugin used 0.013 seconds of execution time in repeated tests on a live site, very performant in repeated uses. I also tested the /feed/ URL and it uses 0.062 seconds of execution time.

So I am not seeing any specific slowness attributed to the plugin itself, but there may be other plugins or theme options affecting the speed of the site, and the speed of plugin execution in general, including server load, etc.
