Thanks Eb – this is exactly what I’ve been looking for – I’ve been meaning to set up an automated email for ages but kept putting it off because it meant researching how to do it. Now I can finally get round to it. This is going to save me so much time 🙂

I just wanted to say thank you. This article was so incredibly helpful I couldn’t stop gushing over it. I subscribed right away because this is exactly the sort of content I am interested in. Great job being clear with your directions. You provide an easy step-by-step that made setting up an automated email with Mail Chimp super easy!

In reply to Dee.

Hi Dee, I am so sorry you are having problems. I am unsure why the image isn’t showing. It is a free plugin and you should get an image even if you haven’t upgraded. I suggest the first thing to do is to quickly double check you have followed the steps correctly (sometimes it is just one tiny thing that makes everything else not work properly!). If that doesn’t fix the problem, I suggest you contact the plugin’s support – they have free support via the WordPress Support Forum. If that doesn’t work, one option you do have available to you is to sign up for a 14 day free trial, which comes with premium support – get them to help you set it up, then cancel the free trial. More details about the plugin here >> https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/featured-images-for-rss-feeds/ Hope that helps! Eb 🙂

THANK YOU so much for your detailed and helpful article! I got everything going just as you said until I got to the part “HOW TO GET IMAGES INTO YOUR MAILCHIMP RSS EMAIL”. I installed the plugin and clicked “save changes” and went back to preview, but it’s still not there… ? Is this not a free plugin? Did I need to click “upgrade now” and pay? Why isn’t my image showing? I also cleared my cache in my blog and my web browser..

In reply to Sofía. You are welcome! So pleased you have found it helpful. Hmmm - that is strange. There's two things I can think of that might be a issue with your email subject line. The first is to make sure you double check you are using the 'automation' email called 'share blog updates' as per step 3. The second is to double check you have copied across exactly the right format for the email subject >>> *|RSSITEM:TITLE|* (I notice you have missed off a | in what you wrote above, for example). With the date and author still showing up, again just double check what you have written is exactly what I have in the final image in step 7 and then hit save and close again. Hope that helps! Eb :-)

Hi Eb!
First of all thank you for your post, I found it after a while and It is exactly what I need it!
I follow every step of your guide but, for some reason is not working. Mailchimp’s still showing date, author, and the email subject reads *|RSSFEED:TITLE*, like literally. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Thank you! 😀
