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:

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” medium=”image”>
<media:content url=”http://hathaway.edu/example.jpg” type=”image/jpg”>”
