Hi all. Quick question, hopefully an easy one! When I view the RSS feed for my website, all I see is the description of the image. How can I change this so that the image as well as the description appear within the feed?

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it.

There is something seriously wrong with your RSS feed!

Images should be displayed as default.

Not only do your images not display, but your links are wrong also.

In your admin panel, under options.

What is your URL set to for SITE TITLE AND URL?

Also, for good measure, copy and paste the all the info found on the General Info page, also located in the admin panel.

Connie, It's weird that you can see his images.

For me, his image and link url's look like this

I just checked your RSS feed again. I see you changed the pixelpost url but you are forgetting to include the last trailing slash, /

In the options page, right bellow the text field for your pixelpost url there is a message that says,
Don't forget the trailing slash '/' e.g. http://www.pixelpost.org/


Add this because I am sure it is missing and all should be well!

No problem :)

It looks great!

Also, in addition to your RSS link in your template,
you can place this tag:

<RSS_AUTODETECT_LINK>

in between the <head></head> element within your image_template.html file so the FEED/RSS icon displays in the URL bar.
