Making Images smaller in RSS feed

[hbollinger]

I use MailChimp to send out my posts by email. I'd like to be able to display my pictures within my posts at 775px wide to line up with the content on my site, but I've been setting my pictures to 560px wide so that they fit within the max 560px width in MailChimp. Is there a way to have my rss feed display the images smaller so that they come through correctly in my MailChimp campaign, while displaying wider on my website?

Thanks,
Hannah

Your theme is already set up to display your images at 100% of whatever container they're in, so you shouldn't need to set a size at all. When you're uploading them, just leave it at (or select ) "full size." Then they'll show at full width on both your blog, and in the emails.

Thanks Christina.

They show at full width, but the problem I'm having is that if I display pictures in my blog posts over 560px wide, they overstretch in my mailchimp email campaigns and it throws off the whole email layout (especially on smaller screens). So if I have a picture in a post that is set to display at its full width of 560px wide and another one that is set to display at 775px wide, the pictures will display at different widths in the email on bigger screens and the other content in the email gets offset - and then on smaller phone screens the content gets pushed to the left and shows at 50% rather than full width. The only solution I've found so far is to set my pictures at 560px wide, but I'd like to display them wider to match the width of my blog content.

I recently switched themes and was having the same trouble before.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

I´m not completely sure if this will solve your problem but
Robin wrote a great post about this topic:

Send Images to RSS (plugin)

and created a plugin:

Oh! Looks like the plugin did the trick. I did a test email and it looks great. Thanks so much, Christoph! And thanks to Robin for creating the plugin!
