Display post thumbnail in your RSS feed

Introduced in WordPress 3.0, get_the_post_thumbnail() allow you to display a thumbnail in your posts. But what about displaying post thumbnails in RSS feeds? Just read this recipe to know how to do.

Simply paste the following code in your functions.php file. The post thumbnail should be visible once you saved the file.

function diw_post_thumbnail_feeds($content) {
	global $post;
	if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
		$content = '<div>' . get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID) . '</div>' . $content;
	}
	return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'diw_post_thumbnail_feeds');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'diw_post_thumbnail_feeds');
