Thesis Customization, Fixing Duplicate Image Issue In RSS Feed

If someone asks from me or give me the choice to select one theme among a list of premium themes I will select Thesis Theme as my only premium theme. Reasons I already discussed in my Thesis 1.7 review. Among other interesting features offered by Thesis, we have an option to show our posts in Teasers and Features. Without images and pictures in posts, articles don’t seem interesting and readers loose interest in the blog due to lack of graphics. So, let’s add images to our posts, but how to show them in teasers. Very simple, we already have demonstrated the procedure in our article.

In our article of adding image to teaser, we have addressed two issues;

• Automatically resizing of image according to thumbnail size,
• Showing same image twice in the post,

If you take benefit from Thesis image resizing feature of image then you have second problem as I listed. Same image is shown two times in your articles. We have also solved that problem is that article.

But again, here is problem of showing same image two times in…. guess in what. Yes your RSS feed shows same image two times. We have received a request to address this issue. Though we have showed the code to remove duplicate image in our earlier article, but again in this article we are giving the code to remove the duplicate image from your article as well as from RSS feed. So let’s have the code to address the both of issues;

Adding this code to custom.css file of thesis theme will remove the duplicate image issue in the posts,

/*Remove duplicate image from article*/

.post_image { display:none !important; }

While this piece of code needs to be added to custom_function.php file resulting in removing duplicate image in RSS field.

/*Remove duplicate image from RSS feed*/

remove_filter('the_content', 'thesis_add_image_to_feed');

By adding these codes to their respective files, you have flexibility of showing your thumbnails in any size without cropping them.

Have fun and please Digg, tweet and stumble my article.
