So maybe I’m missing something really simple, but I can’t seem to pull the featured images from my posts on another blog. I’m using a theme called GoodStream on both blogs, where the featured image is stored in a custom field called ‘thumb’. I’ve checked the XML of my feed and the featured image section looks something like this:

Login to see the code

I have the option Post Thumbnail: Generate from the “thumb” custom field selected as well. Is there something I’m missing? Like a value I’m supposed to add in the custom field section of the XML syndicator?

I’m trying to pull posts from this sub-domain:
Login to see this link)
to this main domain:
Login to see this link

As I can see, there are no “<thumb>” tags in Login to see this link) will get the featured image's URL from that feed?

I'm not sure? You have to view the source of feed the page… it's there.

Perhaps this has something to do with the way my theme handles featured images/rss? If that's the case, I realize the problem isn't with CyberSEO. But I figured if I at least provided the code and the way my theme is handling featured images there would be a way to use cutom fields or php to pull it…

Yes of course. Try to do the following. Go to the Login to see this link and add the following line into the “Custom fields” box:

thumb->thumb

But it will work only in case if Login to see this link does really contain the “<thumb>” tag.

Let me know if it helps.
