    I am trying to use The Events Calendar RSS feed with Mailchimp.
    Mailchimp is not able to pull in the images from the RSS feed below because the syntax of the RSS feed is not compatible with Mailchimp. Is it possible to customize The Events Calendar WordPress plugin to format the image tag properly for Mailchimp?

    RSS URL: https://chicagobourbon.org/events/feed/

    This is what Mailchimp Support had to say:
    “Mailchimp pulls from the <media:content> tag in your RSS feed. I’m not seeing that populated in the feed.”

    “This particular tag uses the <media:content> tag. I’m not seeing that tag in the section you provided me. There’s some examples in our Feed Tags Article, if you’d like to take a look:
    Feedblock RSS Merge Tags: http://eepurl.com/ciWUeT
    Specifically, it states:
    To help ensure that MailChimp can view your feed’s images, you can include medium or type information inside the <media:content> tag.
    Examples:
    <media:content url=”http://hathaway.edu/example.jpg&#8221; medium=”image”>
    <media:content url=”http://hathaway.edu/example.jpg&#8221; type=”image/jpg”>”

    Hi, William. You posted in our Pre-Sales forum from a user account that doesn’t have any purchases associated with it.

    We don’t answer support questions for The Events Calendar core/free or Event Tickets core/free or their paid add-ons in the Pre-Sales forum.

    If you made your purchase(s) through a different user account, please login to that account and then post in one of the paid forums.

    Thank you for your understanding and thank you for using our plugins.
