    Hello,

    Thank you for your stellar help. My website is Kimbalances.com

    I’m writing today because I cannot find a solution to my problem: I am not able to get the “featured image” or any image to display in my mailchimp RSS campaign. I suspect it might be because I have elected to not display the “featured” image in the post page. Instead, I opted to include my own cornerstone image for formatting reasons.

    Could you please let me know how I can get the featured to show up in one of their campaigns? I’ve looked through the forum, but found no workable solution.

    Here is the info from their page:

    *|RSSITEM:IMAGE|*
    Related RSS tag: <media:content>

    What it displays: In certain feed set-ups, this tag displays the image defined in the <media:content> tag. Child elements like height, width and source URL aren’t editable in MailChimp, but can be included in the RSS feed on your site.
    Note
    To help ensure that MailChimp can view your feed’s images, you can include medium or type information inside the <media:content> tag.
    Examples:
    <media:content url=”http://hathaway.edu/example.jpg” medium=”image”>
    <media:content url=”http://hathaway.edu/example.jpg” type=”image/jpg”>

    Hello There,

    Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, this particular customization request is outside the scope of our support as this is not related to an issue with the theme and instead has to do with your customization of it. As such, you will need to investigate this particular issue on your own or seek help from a developer should you not feel comfortable making these changes yourself. If you have any further questions about the theme, we are more than happy to provide you with assistance on these inquiries.

    Thank you for your understanding.
