Some of my RSS feeds are failing

So just leave the Ultimate Addons plugin — and everything as it is — and add the above to the code snippets?
Should I remove the other code I added yesterday?

Correct.
Should I remove the other code I added yesterday?
No you can keep that code in place too.
Many thanks David — off to try that now :)
You're welcome
Sorry to say but I don't think that's fixed the issue.
Still getting this on RSS checker —
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
line 46, column 0: description should not contain aria-label attribute (17 occurrences) [help]
Did the latest code I provided work ? as that's the one that should add in the featured images - if you open your feed you should be able to see them.
If that hasn't worked either then something else is probably interfering with the feed
I can see the images on the front end — but the issue appears to be with the RSS feed.
I've added the code and checked https://thelistedhome.co.uk/feed/ on an RSS checker — but still getting the error above.
As Pinterest business are pulling in my content through the RSS feed, I'm assuming the issue still remains.
Did Pinterest raise the issue regarding the aria-label ?
Hi David, Pinterest said:
'It looks as though some of your connected RSS feeds are failing. Please review the errors below. Pinterest can’t find images in your feed. Please make sure your feed has high-quality images in <enclosure>, or <media:content> tags under each <item> tag.'
I checked the feed on a couple of different RSS checkers and the aria label was what came up. I just assumed it was the thing that was causing the issue.
Is it something different? I'm hoping so! If that's the case, the code you gave me might have fixed it!! :)
P — you're dealing with a fluffy designer here - I don't speak in codes ...! ;)
Back at my desk today... and i checked the Feed and it doesn't seem to have taken any notice of either of the codes ie. i cannot see any <images> within the individual feed items.
Are you using any plugins related to Feeds ?
Morning David! I was just about to say — I had another error message from Pinterest Business this morning — then saw your last message. I don't think so. Not knowingly anyway.
Here is my full list of plugins.
Hi Caro,
On David's code, can you try changing this line:
add_filter( 'the_excerpt_feed', 'featured_image_in_feed' );
To this line:
add_filter( 'the_excerpt_rss', 'featured_image_in_feed' );
Also, any chance you can copy the site into a staging site and let us have temporary backend access to do some checks and tests? Let us know. :D
Hi Elvin — yes! Sorry — been working away and just logged on to see this. I'm still getting the failing feeds message through, so would love to find a solution to this.
Will do that now! Thank you :)
Have added the code — now just waiting for my site to clone so I can send over staging site details.
Have just set up a staging site — the details are in the private info box :)
