RSS Chimp allows you to define a logo for the RSS feeds of your WordPress site. This channel image helps brand your feed and makes it easier for readers and services to visually recognize your content in feed readers, aggregators, and newsletter tools. The logo of your feed (channel image) follows the RSS 2.0 specification.
How to change the feed logo?
You can choose how the logo for your feed should be generated:
- Go to RSS Chimp → Settings → General → Options
- Under “Preferred logo”, choose the option you want to use as your feed logo and save the settings. Specify a custom image with “Select logo” if necessary.

Available options
You’ll find four options you can select:
Disabled
No image is added as a logo to your RSS feed. Use this if you don’t want any channel image in your feed.
Favicon (Site icon)
RSS Chimp uses your site’s favicon as the feed logo. The favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs and bookmarks.
You can set or change it under Appearance → Customize → Site Identity → Site Icon.
Site logo
RSS Chimp uses your theme’s site logo as the feed logo. This requires your theme to support a custom logo.
You can usually set this under Appearance → Customize → Site Identity → Logo.
Custom image
Choose this if you want to use a custom image as your feed logo.
- Select or upload an image through the media picker in the RSS Chimp settings.
- RSS Chimp will use this image URL for the channel logo in your feed.
For best compatibility with feed readers and validators, use PNG or JPEG and avoid SVG.
Troubleshooting
Logo not showing
- Make sure you have selected a logo option and saved the settings.
- For Favicon, confirm that a site icon is set under Appearance → Customize → Site Identity.
- For Site logo, confirm your theme supports a custom logo and that one is configured.
- For Custom image, make sure an image is selected and the URL is valid.
- View the raw feed URL (e.g., https://example.com/feed) and look for an element.
Image looks wrong or is not displayed
- Check that the image URL is publicly accessible (not blocked or behind a login).
- Use a reasonable image size so it loads quickly in feed readers.
- Prefer PNG or JPEG if you need maximum compatibility with validators and feed services.
