Here is a quick tip that you may find useful if you’ve been following my RSS series. You may notice that when you check your own feed in a RSS reader, the images do not wrap correctly. This is because when you’re normally setting up your images, the alignment is set with CSS. Thing is, Google Reader, and most other RSS readers do not currently read that code (i.e. <img class=“aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-170″). Any special alignments that you do will not show up the way you intended in your RSS feed. Unless…
How To Setup Your Images In WordPress
- Click the Add an Image button
- Add your image
- (Note, if this is the first thing readers will see, after you insert the image press enter to add a break (in visual mode), if this is going to be presented later on inside your post, make sure you press enter (to add a break in visual mode) then add the photo, then add another break before writing your text)
- Go to HTML mode, and make sure you change the class to <img class=“center” or “right” or whatever your goal is if you wish it to show up the same in both feeds.
This will allow your images to appear the way you intended them. Please remember, the main thing is to include the “breaks” before and after the image. If you do not care about the alignment, or are using a plug-in that requires certain code, you do not have to change the align function. But you DO need to insert the breaks. I hope you enjoyed this quick tip and I’ll talk to you soon.

Hi I like your tutorials, very informative.
Have you written anything about including images in the RSS feed? I thought it was included in WP feeds but unfortunately ours doesn’t show any, like other feeds.
Could you point me in the right direction? Is it a matter of the theme? Is their code I should include? Thank you

I have the same question as Vicky Kolovou. Been roaming the web for a while to show images in Wordpress feeds. If I load WP feeds into other pages or read a WP feed in Firefox I cannot see images. Safari does show them under the proper settings. For me to load Wordpress RSS feeds as well as images into an external site is the main goal. So far I have only been able to show thumbnails to attached images. Hope you can help me out here…
