Image and Categories tags not picking up value

[ghost]

Hello Chris,

I've been trying to build a customised newsletter for a client and tried all available tags to see what do they deliver when it parses my client's WordPress site. Most work well but I noticed that image and category data are not getting displayed correctly. Here's the link to the sample and here is the feed I'm using. Any thoughts?

Further, if we want to parse additional or custom tags, can we do that by changing php codes directly on the already installed plugin? I know it's not the best way to do it but theoretically would that work? If it would, what are the files we need to specifically look at?

Many thanks in advance.

By default Wordpress doesn't include the featured images in the feed. This can be fixed with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-feed-post-thumbnail/ (there are more). Install it and configure it and it should work right away.

The categories aren't implemented correctly on my end. Will try to fix this today.

If you want to have additional tags we could add them to the plugin. Do you already have some tags in mind?

We have added featured images through functions.php not through a plugin. Would that make any difference?

Tags we like to parse are custom tags specific to a project. Like Original Price, Sale Price, Offer Percentage etc, Not sure if it's fair to expect them from this. On the other hand such tags would be immensely useful for a product feed such as a Woocommerce products feed.

That wouldn't make any difference. But the RSS should contain an media or enclosure tag containing the url to the image.

We use the SimplePie library to parse the RSS / XML file. If simplepie has a solution the parse it from the xml we can create a solution map it to the Email. Do you have an xml already containing this information?

I just release an update of the plugin which fixed parsing the categories.

Here's how images appear with the feed:

You include the image now in the description. But it should be in its own media of enclosure tag. The plugin a suggested does just that.

We tried with this, outside the Description tag but still no luck:

Any suggestions?

This isn’t going to work. You need the media or enclosure tag. http://www.rssboard.org/media-rss http://www.rssboard.org/media-rss

Oh I'm with you now. Will this format work or does it need more information?

This should work. But like I said, the plugin I suggested does already exactly this.

Many thanks! I have two projects going on. One is standard WordPress blog which I can use that plugin. The other is a different site where we have to manually build the feed.
