## Description

This plugin ensures each RSS item has a consistent image:

 * Prepends the post **featured image** to the feed content (optional).
 * Adds **Media RSS** (`<media:content>`) and/or **`<enclosure>`** (optional).
 * **Removes emojis** in feeds to avoid emoji images.
 * **Fallbacks**: first image found in the content or a **custom default URL**.
 * Choose the **image size** (thumbnail, medium, large, full, etc.).

**No new feed URL is created.** It augments the default WordPress RSS feed (`/feed/`).

## Installation

 1. Upload the ZIP via _Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin_.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to _Settings  RSS – Featured Image_ and configure options.

## FAQ

### Does it change the feed URL?

### Do I need to clear caches?

If you use a cache plugin or CDN, clear the cache after activation or option changes.

### Is it theme-dependent?

No, it works regardless of the active theme.
