Add Post Thumbnail To WordPress RSS Feeds

As per default WordPress doesn’t show your post image into the post RSS feed. I just found out this a couple while ago when i try to use Feedly apps from my mobile to subscribe to this blog. And i realize that i don’t have my post feature image show up. And in fact to show the post feature image to the RSS feed is really easy (if you are a web developer).

All you need to do is add this snippet code to your themes functions.php:

function add_featured_image_to_feed($content) {
 global $post;
 if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
 $content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) . '' . $content;
 }
 return $content;
}

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'add_featured_image_to_feed', 1000, 1);
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'add_featured_image_to_feed', 1000, 1);

If you trouble to add it to your WordPress themes, please let me know from the comment box below. Thanks.
