Mailchimp (and Feedburner) does not render images in body

[Dovizu]

According to Mailchimp, feeds need a media:content tag to display images. Images in Mailchimp are displayed with their relative paths.

Also, feeds generated by this plugin do not validate in http://validator.w3.org/

Support was added in v0.13.

Hmm, that’s odd. I am using v0.13 but my feed still doesn’t have this tag in Mailchimp.

Am I configuring something wrong?

Are use using an image property in your front matter?

See

jekyll-feed/lib/jekyll-feed/feed.xml

Lines 86 to 93 in 9cda8c4

	{% assign post_image = post.image.path | default: post.image %}
	{% if post_image %}
	{% unless post_image contains "://" %}
	{% assign post_image = post_image | absolute_url %}
	{% endunless %}
	<media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="{{ post_image | xml_escape }}" />
	<media:content medium="image" url="{{ post_image | xml_escape }}" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" />
	{% endif %}

No, I’m referring to the images inside the posts.

Circling back to this. I understand that the image property in the post front matter is used for post single thumbnails, and not for the images within the body of the post. My problem isn't with the post thumbnails (I never set those), but the images inside the body not being shown in MailChimp.

MailChimp support also points to the fact that the generated feed does not validate. Although I don't think that has much to do with this problem.
