How to display thumbnail image from the feeds

If you want to display thumbnail items for your feeds, here's how to do it:

Using Classic Editor

  1. Go to Feedzy shortcode options.

  1. Go to Item Image Options.

  1. In option: "Should we display the first image of the content if it is available?", Select your choice.

where,

Auto (labeled Yes (without a fallback image) in the editor): If an image is available in the feed item, it is displayed. If no image is available, no fallback image is shown.

Yes (labeled Yes (with a fallback image) in the editor): The first available image is displayed. If no image is available, the fallback image is shown instead.

No: No image from the feed is displayed. If a default image is set, it is still shown.

Using Block Editor (Gutenberg)

  1. Click the Feedzy RSS icon to enter the Feed. If this is not available, you can click on the 'plus' sign icon and manually search for the Feedzy RSS option.

  1. Once you enter and load your feed, you will then see the block settings on the right-hand side. You can change the image thumbnail settings from there.

Alternatively, you can edit the 'thumb' parameter in the shortcode like:

[feedzy-rss feeds="https://example.com/feed/" meta="yes" summary="yes" thumb="auto"]

or thumb="yes" or thumb="no"

NOTE: The thumbnail image will ONLY be displayed in the feed item if and only if the image is available with the feed itself. It will show nothing, or the set default image if image is not available in the feeds.
