# Add Featured Images as Enclosures to Posts in WordPress RSS Feeds

[![Feed Image Enclosure Plugin for WordPress](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/screenshot-1.png?strip=all&quality=90&resize=1203,675)](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/screenshot-1.png)An RSS feed with enclosure element linking to a thumbnail of featured imageApparently WordPress doesn’t add featured images as proper enclosures to the RSS feeds, so I created a little plugin called [Feed Image Enclosure](https://github.com/kasparsd/feed-image-enclosure "Add featured images as enclosures to WordPress RSS feeds") that will do just that. You can [download it from GitHub](https://github.com/kasparsd/feed-image-enclosure).
