Sorry should have provided this article on how to add PHP:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

TLDR: Options:

1. Are you using a Child Theme ? If you are then add the code into your child themes functions.php

2. If you are not using a child theme – then install the Code Snippets plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

2.1 Dashboard > Snippets > New Snippet
2.2 Paste in the code.
2.3 Click Save and Activate

WP Beginenr
function rss_post_thumbnail($content) {
global $post;
if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
$content = ‘<p>’ . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID) .
‘</p>’ . get_the_content();
}
return $content;
}
add_filter(‘the_excerpt_rss’, ‘rss_post_thumbnail’);
add_filter(‘the_content_feed’, ‘rss_post_thumbnail’);

OR TOM’S

add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘featured_image_in_feed’ );
function featured_image_in_feed( $content ) {
global $post;
if( is_feed() ) {
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
$output = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, ‘medium’, array( ‘style’ => ‘float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;’ ) );
$output .= ‘

‘ . get_the_post_thumbnail_caption( $post->ID ) . ‘

‘;
$content = $output . $content;
}
}
return $content;
}

Alright, i do not know any coding, i found this in wpbeginner. So which code do i use? i am using generatepress read theme.

Sorry for any stupid question. Thank you

[David]

Either of WP Beginner or Toms should work. The only difference is that Toms will also output the Image Caption if one exists.

Make sure you copy the code from the original topic or the WP Beginners sites 🙂
