Question

Is there a way to add the thumbnail image url to the wordpress feed??

I know how to add the thumbnail image to the_content, but i need the rss feed to layout a page on another domain. So i was just thinking of using $item->get_title(), $item->get_description() and for the thumbnail something like $item->get_image_url

On the other domain.com i use the following (other domain.com is also a WP install)

require( '../../../site/wp-load.php' );
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');
$rss= fetch_feed('domain.com/feed/?post_type=recipes');
foreach($rss->get_items() as $item) {

    echo $item->get_title().'<br/>'.$item->get_description();
    echo '<hr/>';

}

any suggestions?

If you want the image url (src)

you have to use first get_post_thumbnail_id to get the thumb id then use wp_get_attachment_image_src to get the image src

<?php
$post_thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id );
$image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $post_thumbnail_id , $size, $icon ); 
?>
