Adds MRSS namespace to the feed and uses post-thumbnail as media element in the feed. Settings available under Settings -> Reading.
With this plugin, an MRSS namespace is added to the site’s RSS feed to include each post’s thumbnail.
WP Feed Post Thumbnail is very lightweight and only adds two small options under Settings -> Reading.
- Upload the entire
/wp-feed-post-thumbnail
directory to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory. - Activate WP Feed Post Thumbnail through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- Enjoy more awesome RSS feeds
Yep, we add the proper XML namespaces for that. Everything just works as expected!
Yes, the plugin has two filters available for this:
// Filters the size on media:content tag. Defaults to 'full'.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_image_size_full', function( $size ) {
return 'large'; // Return any registered image size.
}, 10, 1 );
// Filters the size on the media:thumbnail tag. Defaults to 'thumbnail'.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_image_size_thumbnail', function( $size ) {
return 'medium'; // Return any registered image size.
}, 10, 1 );
Yes, the plugin has two filters available for this:
// Filters the featured image attachment post object.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_image', function( $thumbnail ) {
return ''; // Return an empty string or another attachment post object.
}, 10, 1 );
// Filters the array of attachment post objects. Defaults to featured image post object if exists.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_images', function( $images ) {
$attachment_id = '123';
$images[] = get_post( $attachment_id ); // Additional attachment post object.
return images;
}, 10, 1 );
Yes, there is a filter for each of these things:
// Filters the title on the media:title tag. Defaults to attachment title.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_title', function( $title ) {
return 'Override title'; // Return any plain text.
}, 10, 1 );
// Filters the text on the media:description tag. Defaults to attachment description.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_description', function( $description ) {
return 'Same description for all images'; // Return any plain string.
}, 10, 1 );
// Filters the name of the author on the media:copyright tag. Defaults to attachment author.
add_filter( 'wp_feed_post_thumbnail_author', function( $author_name ) {
return 'Matt'; // Return any plain string.
}, 10, 1 );
