i have setuped showing rss from my network site using fetch_feed(); 

include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');
$rss = fetch_feed('rss link here');
$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(5);
$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
THen i can use foreach to get these 
$item->get_description(); 
$item->get_permalink();
$item->get_title();
get_date('j F Y | g:i a');

But i am not sure how to get thumbnail in my feed or here in this system. But in my posts i do have a custom field called post-img for displaying posts.

Help is appreciated. Thanks

    Can you post a link to the feed you're parsing? It's likely that your custom field (post-img) isn't in the feed to begin with, but without knowing what the field is we can't help you parse it.

  • sure its, apps.designzzz.com/feed and yes it doesn't contain a thumbnail. i tried some functions from google whihc will add thumbnail to feed but instead it started showing the entire post in feed.

According to the Codex, fetch_feed() uses the SimplePie engine for parsing RSS.

So, if $item->get_title(); is working, then you should be able to do:

$item->get_thumbnail();

as per the SimplePie documentation, as long as there are any thumbnails already on the feed.

UPDATE:

Before running the above, you have to insert the images on your feed. Check for display featured image in RSS feed and How to grab first image attached to post and display in RSS feed? topics on it.

  • Did you try using the enclosure method described on the docs? -> simplepie.org/wiki/reference/simplepie_enclosure/get_thumbnail
