I've customized the rss feed for scottwclifton.com here: feeds.feedburner.com/scottclifton
Where is the tag. I need the full content to display on the RSS feeds somewhere so I can use them in my mailings but it looks like there is only a description for each blog. Help? I'm using Genesis Theme and haven't set up anything that I know of out of the ordinary.
The original feed is truncated, which means that if you want the feedburner feed to have the full content, you need to original feed to have the full content.
The original feed seems to be a wordpress feed. In your blog's settings, check the reading section and make sure the "Full Text" radio button is enabled by "For each article in a feed, show".

I have a client with two active Wordpress sites (let's call them A and B). I am currently redesigning site A. Per client request, site A should display on its homepage an RSS feed block of site B's news feed. This includes the featured images from posts in site B's feed. However, I cannot find any way to get these featured images to show up on site A. Wordpress admin panel gives no option in the RSS feed block settings to show featured images; a lot of googling has turned up nothing on how to code this as a default for the RSS feed block in the theme itself (which would be preferable in this case to hard coding the RSS feed import in the theme file).
I wondered if the problem might be on site B's side and requested that the client contact site B's team and make sure they had enabled featured image sharing for their RSS feeds, and some days later was assured that this had been done. However, nothing seems to have changed on my end - the images are still not showing up on site A and I can't even find, say, hidden links to them when using the inspector tool (or anything else which might indicate the images are present but not visible due to CSS etc).
I'm fairly new to Wordpress and this seems like something which would be done commonly and have a straightforward solution, but I'm at a loss. Wordpress's own docs for the RSS block don't mention a possibility of importing images. Is it even possible to customise the block in this way? Will the whole RSS feed section have to be hard coded into the theme files?
The RSS Block doesn't support images, but you can try using a plugin. Both WP RSS Retriever and WP RSS Aggregator support images.
I also recommend manually inspecting the RSS feed to ensure that the featured images are included.
I am trying to automatically display an image inside the header of a Facebook instant article. I'm using Wordpress default RSS feed. Is there a way to automatically append the featured image of the post to the instant article header or you should always edit the markup from the publishing tools?
Thank you
You can use Instant Article WP Plugin
It automatically generates feed located at /feed/instant-articles.
Instant articles from this feed will have header image from post's "feature image".
Here is code of rss feed
*|RSSITEMS:|* *|RSSITEM:TITLE|* *|END:RSSITEMS|*
|RSSITEMS:| |RSSITEM:IMAGE| |END:RSSITEMS|
|RSSITEMS:| |RSSITEM:CONTENT_TEXT| |END:RSSITEMS|...
Images style are coming from blog site, i am not able to change,I have use css with important tag but not working please give me suggestions.
according to https://templates.mailchimp.com/getting-started/merge-tags/rss-merge-tags/
|RSSITEM:IMAGE|
Pulls in images from the RSS item. Images are pulled in and displayed
at their original size. They can’t be formatted or resized within the
campaign.
So they cannot be responsive :/
in the campaign selection, it says "We'll automatically resize the images in your RSS feed to fit the width of your template." but it doesn't work
Trying to figure out if there is a way to take a snippet of a wordpress blog, same site, same hosting, and plug that into a pure HTML page.
Example... I want to show the title of the blog, and first 150 characters. With a link to ..."read more" which would take the visitor to the actual blog.
Widget? or custom type of coding?
One way that WordPress exposes blog output to other applications is through the RSS feed.
It is often available by URL at
"http:// your-Wordpress-Root-URL.com/ feed".
You can use that URL in a 3rd-party widget that you use via HTML/JS on any HTML page.
They'll give you the code snippet to drop in your page.
And they'll have different options to customize things like the number of blog entries to show, and the length to preview - as you mentioned.
I'll paste a couple links to start with, and you can easily search for more online with something like "RSS feed widget" in google.

My main idea is that when i do a google search on my company's info, it keeps showing the latest post made. I would like to make the info the same everytime i do a google search. That will definitely show a good image of my company. I am using wordpress to run my company's website. I need some guidance on this... Thanks... Please pardon me if this is a stupid question. If there is other ways of doing this, instead of using wordpress, do tell me... Will be very happy to hear some suggestions...
This is a great question, and I think that there are a couple ways you could do it.
The first way that came to mind is to use your site's meta description on your home page. Your meta description is the 156 characters that appear in black letters underneath your site title in the search results.
If you want your meta description to be static and unchanging, just like LinkedIn, you can set your meta description without any coding knowledge using Yoast's Wordpress SEO Plugin. After you install it, edit your home page in Wordpress Admin and set the meta description to be your desired text. You can set the meta description for every page on your site, and each one will display the corresponding description in the search results.
If you want your meta description to be the latest post, you will either need to change the meta description for the homepage manually every time you write a new post, or you could write up some code to automatically generate the meta description from the first 156 characters of your latest blog post.
But, there is a second method that might work better. For an example site, I did a Google search for CSSTricks.com. Notice that it appears that Google is automatically pulling in their latest post without them having to do any hoopla with the meta description.
So, I went to CSSTricks using Google Chrome and did a right-click -> Inspect Element to view the source of the web page, to see how they were doing it. (You may need to open the below image in a new tab or save it to your computer to be able to read the code, because it is so small)
They do not have any meta description on their site, but they are using the HTML5 article tag. It appears that Google is pulling in the first p tag nested inside the article tag, and then displaying that as the black text in place of the meta description. So theoretically, if this is indeed how it works, what you need to do is write the markup of your home page so that it displays the post content using the article tag with a nested p tag, just as they have done.
Hope this helps!
