Image Not Showing in Feedzy

If the image is not showing up in your Feedzy feeds, here’s how the plugin attempts to fetch images and what you can do to ensure they display correctly.

How Feedzy Looks for Images (Order of Priority)

When fetching content from an RSS feed, Feedzy follows this order when looking for images:

1. Featured Image / Media Tag in the RSS feed

   If the feed provides an <media:content> or <enclosure> tag with an image, Feedzy will use it.

2. First Image in the Post Content

   If the above options are missing, Feedzy scans the content and picks the first available image.

3. Fallback Image (if configured)

   If none of the above is available, Feedzy uses the fallback image set in the plugin’s settings.

Why Images Might Not Appear

• The source feed does not include an image tag.
• The article’s content doesn’t contain any inline images.
• Hotlink protection or site restrictions prevent Feedzy from accessing the image.
• The feed provides a thumbnail too small to meet your WordPress theme’s requirements.

How Full Text Import Helps

If the RSS feed only provides a short summary (and no image), enabling Full Text Import can resolve the issue.

Full Text Import fetches the full article content from the source site, which allows Feedzy to extract:

• Any inline images in the article.
• A more complete representation of the post.

This often ensures that a featured image can be detected and displayed properly.

Recommendations

• Check if the feed actually contains images by viewing the raw RSS feed or check the feed with Simplepie.
• Make sure the item image tag is added in the featured image field of import.
• Add Item Full Content tag in the content field of your import (if you have developer or Agency subscription).
• Configure a fallback image in Feedzy settings for consistency.
• Verify that your theme supports featured images and is displaying them as expected.
