    Hello all DP's!
    I'm using Widezine theme for my blog. This is my blog: www.acidgadgets.com

    Trying to make featured images work with rss modules.. but failed.

    Theme help says:
    1. First Step (Click "Set featured image") Located on the right side of the panel.
    2. Second Step (Click select files and select a image for your featured image.)
    3. Third And Final (After upload is done scroll down and click "Use as featured image")

    For rss module there are only two tags available: title and content ... how can I retrieve image field and set to featured image? I'm using this feed: http://gadgets.infoniac.com/rss.php .. which has images.

    Also tried
    > custom field option ( name:image,value:{image} )
    > Enabling this option: Attempt to add featured image / post thumbnail to each created post if image is available
    But with no luck...
    I'm stuck.. please help me!

    Case solved!
    I had to run this query in phpmyadmin:

    Insert into wp_postmeta (meta_value, meta_key, post_id) select DISTINCT(ID), post_type , post_parent from wp_posts where post_type= 'attachment' and post_parent !=0 and post_status='inherit';

    update wp_postmeta set meta_key = '_thumbnail_id' where meta_key='attachment'
