The plugin is quite simple to use and can be implemented for very different purposes. Just think about it and post your experience and contribution. But if this plugin saves your day you can let me know by clicking on the orange bell.

Instead of displaying the first image of the posts, it displays all images! what am i doing wrong?

Is there a way to add all the image attachments instead of just the first image to the feed? And to display the actual image instead of a link to it?
Thank you!

I’ve noticed something with this plugin – it uses ‘get_the_content’ to get the post content, which at least on my wordpress, dumps the wordpress auto formatting stuff, meaning that you can lose line / paragraph breaks that are usually automatically inserted by wordpress. I think it is to do with the priority order of filters – you could potentially achieve the same thing by doing add_filter(‘the_content’,'functioname’,-99999) or similar, to force it to run first, but really, to be a proper filter, it should filter what it is given, not just grab the post content again, otherwise it won’t play nicely with other plugins.
So, I changed the line in function add_image_content($content) to filter the current content, rather than to get the post data again, like this:
$rif_text = preg_replace(‘#\[(.*?)\]#’, ”, $content);
Is there any reason that change shouldn’t go into the main plugin code?
cheers,
Joe

Does this works with wordpress custom posts?

Doesn’t appear to work on individual category feeds — only main feed.

What’s the Include function do? Not sure what the Enclosure and media tag is for?
