How to Display Featured Post Thumbnails In WordPress Feeds
WordPress does not allow featured post thumbnails in feeds even if you enable the post thumbnails support. But we have a solution for that. Here is how you can add post thumbnails to your WordPress RSS feeds with a simple function.
Just copy and paste this code snippet in your theme functions.php file and your RSS feeds will display featured post thumbnails along with content.
// display featured post thumbnails in WordPress feeds
function wcs_post_thumbnails_in_feeds( $content ) {
global $post;
if( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {
$content = '<p>' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) . '</p>' . get_the_content();
}
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt_rss', 'wcs_post_thumbnails_in_feeds' );
add_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'wcs_post_thumbnails_in_feeds' );
