So everything is now working fine for you with our RSS-Import Plugin? ??

Since the feature you requested was already added in 2016 and I can’t see any bugs with it atm, I am going to close this issue for now. Feel free to reopen if you have any further questions or a link to a feed, where this certain feature does not work as expected!

Hello TRILOS new media, Hello Schulz,

can you please provide the URL to a valid rss feed without links in it?

use normal double quotes instead of ” and ″

You could change the code of the RSSImport-Plugin to preg_match() for the image urls and display them somehow. But the plugin in its current version won’t be able to do this without code changes.

The feed seems not to provide any thumbnail-pictures, thus SimplePie won’t find any “picture_url”. Try adding html=”true” (this might cause security issues if you do not trust the source of your feed!) to your Shortcode. At least the “description” of the feed should then render html-code as read from the feed which should show the images in the content of the feed!

can you please post the shortcode you are using!

Can you post the feed-url you are about to import, please!

What custom fields in that feed do you want to use?

This is probably a configuration you have to change on your server! What is the feed-url you are about to import?

Please post your error message!

Seems like SimplePie is not able to read the feed.

Please post the php code (like <?php RSSImport(10, “https://bueltge.de/feed/&#8221;); ?>) or the shortcode (like [RSSImport display=”5″ feedurl=”https://bueltge.de/feed/”%5D) you use to include your feed!

Can you please post the exact error message!

Maybe you want to set start_item = ‘

• ‘ and end_item = ‘

‘ to other values?

Also, you can use css.

Please post php code (like <?php RSSImport(10, “https://bueltge.de/feed/&#8221;); ?>) or the shortcode (like [RSSImport display=”5″ feedurl=”https://bueltge.de/feed/”%5D) you use to include your feed and a link to the page where you try to use the RSSImport Plugin!

/wp-includes/rss.php is not part of the Plugin RSSImport. It belongs to the deprecated MagpieRSS. Do not use this anymore!

Are you using something like use_simplepie=0? Switch to SimplePie by setting use_simplepie=1 (Default is false if used with Shortcode, true if used with the PHP function).

Hi keepkalm,

my crystal ball is telling me you are talking about the feed https://12th-gear.com/feed/ you are trying to import, probably using something like

[RSSImport feedurl="https://12th-gear.com/feed/" displaydescriptions="true" before_desc="<div><img src='%picture_url%' width='50px' alt='' style='float:left;' />" after_desc="</div>" use_simplepie="true"].

Is my crystal ball right? Else please post a link to the feed you are trying to import and the full shortcode you are using.

Looking at the source of https://12th-gear.com/feed/, I can’t find something like “media:thumbnail” within the “item”-tag which would be required to use the new %picture_url% macro.

Instead your feed has some CDATA-encoded html-code containing an img-tag within the “content”-tag of your feed-items.

Have you already tried to enable html-code in your imported feed-content (html="true" in the shortcode)? That should allow the img-tag to be rendered and therfore make the images visible.

please use the new feature in the latest release 4.4.15! ??

Example how to enable Thumbnail Pictures:

RSSImport(
$display = 5,
$feedurl = ‘https://www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/shenton/feed/&#8217;,
$before_desc = ‘<img src=”%picture_url%” alt=””>’,
$displaydescriptions = true
);

or

[RSSImport feedurl=”https://www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/shenton/feed/&#8221; displaydescriptions=”true” before_desc=”<div><img src=’%picture_url%’ width=’50px’ alt=” style=’float:left;’ />” after_desc=”</div>” use_simplepie=”true”]

btw: Do you have any other examples of rss-feeds that actually contain pictures that we might use in the examples in our documentation and for testing?
