Emanda – Featured Image in RSS

Description

This plugin ensures each RSS item has a consistent image:

  • Prepends the post featured image to the feed content (optional).
  • Adds Media RSS (<media:content>) and/or <enclosure> (optional).
  • Removes emojis in feeds to avoid emoji images.
  • Fallbacks: first image found in the content or a custom default URL.
  • Choose the image size (thumbnail, medium, large, full, etc.).

No new feed URL is created. It augments the default WordPress RSS feed (/feed/).
