wp rss aggregator

Hi Andy,

Thanks for replying. I know you’ve already mentioned that you guys don’t support 3rd party plugins but just wanted to know if there’s anything on the magazine shortcode that i can change/alter/tweak as the plugin itself is working fine with enfold. if you look at the url below (image attached as well ) and navigate down under “Latest insights”. Right below the magazine shortcode, you’ll notice that the aggregator is working perfectly fine (image thumbnails are all loading along with the posts). The magazine shortcode I believe is also working except that it doesn’t load the thumbnails of the post whereas if i use the aggregator shortcode, everything loads.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Elliott,

Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate more what you mean by “setting the featured images of these custom post types?” If I understood what you mean correctly then yes, i have set the featured image option already. Please refer to the screenshot below.

NOTE: Also if you look at my screenshot on post #506512. You’ll notice that the thumbnails are loading properly on each post using the wp rss aggregator shortcode. These thumbnails are the actual featured images on each of the posts.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Elliott,

Yes, that was done on the actual post itself… And yes, posts are being aggregated via RSS feeds using the wp rss aggregator plugin.

Is there a way to tweak the magazine shortcode so that it can pull the featured image as thumbnails via rss?

Thanks again.

Hi Basilis

Thanks so much for looking into this. I’ve added the code

function wpsites_auto_set_featured_image() {
	global $post;
		$featured_image_exists = has_post_thumbnail($post->ID);
			if (!$featured_image_exists)  {
				$attached_image = get_children( "post_parent=$post->ID&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&numberposts=1" );
					if ($attached_image) {
						foreach ($attached_image as $attachment_id => $attachment) {
							set_post_thumbnail($post->ID, $attachment_id);
						}
					}
			}
}
add_action('the_post', 'wpsites_auto_set_featured_image');

However thumbnail image is still not loading when using the magazine shortcode :(

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for the suggestion however i’ve already installed that “addon” from the very beginning and still no luck hence i was able to make it work using the default wp rss aggregator shortcode. My goal is to use the magazine shortcode to load the same rss feeds as if i’m using the wp rss shortcode. I just like how so much beautiful the magazine shortcode is rendered as oppose to the plugin’s default.
