  The reason your images are not appearing in the RSS feed is because they are in a custom field and not a core part of the post, so your RSS feed doesn't know about them.
  
  You can work around this with a plugin called
  Custom Fields For Feeds
  
  If you need more assistance on how to use this plugin other than what's on that site, there's also a blog post here that explains how to use it for images: Custom Field Images in WordPress Feeds
  
  I hope that helps :)

    I tried the solution from your link, but still nothing on my RSS.
    
    I've changed:
    
    $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'POST_IMAGE_URL', $single = true);
    
    to:
    
    $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-img', $single = true);
    
    upload that: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/get-custom-field-values/
    
    but still no images in my RSS

  Quick solution...
  
  try this:
  
  Use your "meta" image as you did it before but,
  
  put it inside the posting as a core part too like that:
  
  

  
  
  <img href="IMAGEURL" class="myrssimg" />
  
  

  
  
  Now add the following line to the css file of your theme
  
  

  
  
  .myrssimg
  
  {
  
  display: none;
  
  }
  
  

  
  
  Now if someone is having a look at the rss feed the image is shown, but if someone does look at the actual homepage the image is hidden...

    Add this to your functions.php
    
    

    
    
    function cf_addtorss($content) {
    
    global $wp_query;
    
    $postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
    
    $post_image_url = get_post_meta($postid, 'POST_IMAGE_URL', true);
    
    if(is_feed()) {
    
    if($post_image_url !== '') {
    
    $content = "<p><img src='".$post_image_url."' /></p>".$content;
    
    }
    
    else {
    
    $content = $content;
    
    }
    
    }
    
    return $content;
    
    }
    
    add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'cf_addtorss');
    
    add_filter('the_content', 'cf_addtorss');

    i've added your code to functions.php
    
    rss is there , but without images !
    
    the best code was erez213 , but there was problem with:
    
    this is the problem: url to image:
    
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/img/Leopard_Dark_for_Windows_7_by_sagorpirbd.jpg
    
    and it should be: http://windows7design.com/img/Leopard_Dark_for_Windows_7_by_sagorpirbd.jpg

    What is the meta key of the images?
    
    

    post-img

    
    
    or
    
    

    POST_IMAGE_URL

    
    
    ?
    
    And, is the solution erez213 added still active?

    post-img is custom field for preview images

    Are you using full posts or excerpts for the rss feed?

    coxis says:

    ok it is working one more time:
    
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/Windows7Design
    
    i use full post
    
    to put this to work i change some option in http://feedburner.google.com/ setup
    
    i think not the option is important, but only that i've change something there it start working with @erez213 code, now the only thing that is wrong is:
    
    url to image:
    
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/img/Leopard_Dark_for_Windows_7_by_sagorpirbd.jpg
    
    and it should be: http://windows7design.com/img/Leopard_Dark_for_Windows_7_by_sagorpirbd.jpg
    

    Attached Image

    kjll kll says:

    The meta key... do you insert the complete url (with http:/www.http://windows7design.com/) or just
    
    img/Leopard_Dark_for_Windows_7_by_sagorpirbd.jpg
    
    ???

  put the following code in your functions.php file in your theme folder:
  
  

  function insert_img($content) {
  
  	$img = '<img src="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'post-img', $single = true).'" alt="'.get_the_title().'" /><br />';
  
      $content = $img.$content;
  
      return $content;
  
  }
  
  add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insert_img');
  
  add_filter('the_content_rss', 'insert_img');

  Hi
  
  Your feed seems to be set to show an excerpt in stead of full content so the images will not show.
  
  I wrote a small script that gets the first or last image uploaded with your post to show automatically instead of using custom fields. This should be a remedy as it will do everything automatically for you. This also works with timthumb so you have maximal control over the outlay in your posts and category pages.
  
  
  BUT
  
  The problem that you are experiencing seems more of a settings issue than a layout issue.
  
  Send me details and I can assist.

  <?php
  
  
  
  /**
  
  
  
   * @package WordPress
  
  
  
   * @subpackage Windows7Styles_theme
  
  
  
   */
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  automatic_feed_links();
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
  
  
  
  	register_sidebar(array(
  
  
  
                  'name'=>'Left',
  
  
  
  		'before_widget' => '',
  
  
  
  		'after_widget' => '',
  
  
  
  		'before_title' => '',
  
  
  
  		'after_title' => '',
  
  
  
  	));
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
          register_sidebar(array(
  
  
  
                  'name'=>'Right',
  
  
  
  		'before_widget' => '',
  
  
  
  		'after_widget' => '',
  
  
  
  		'before_title' => '',
  
  
  
  		'after_title' => '',
  
  
  
  	));
  
  
  
  }
  
  
  
  function insert_img($content) {
  
  
  
  	$img = '<img src="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'post-img', $single = true).'" alt="'.get_the_title().'" /><br />';
  
  
  
      $content = $img.$content;
  
  
  
      return $content;
  
  
  
  }
  
  
  
  add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insert_img');
  
  
  
  add_filter('the_content_rss', 'insert_img');
  
  
  
  ?>

  
  
  
  Works for me, tested on my local server with the img code.
