Photos Not Displayed in Reader
-
Obviously, if the blog post does not have a picture, there will be no picture.
For blog posts with pictures, either they all show in the Reader or they all don’t.
Right now because my blog is set to “summary” not “full text” no picture will show, but other blogs that reblog my posts do show the picture.
And I’m not going to change the setting to “full text” under no circumstances.
Here’s a screenshot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lorri37/19132920194/ First one on the Reader shows the reblog, then my blog post follows.

but we should not fail to mention that those using mobiles can read full posts regardless of the summary setting
I’m adding a quick note to say that mobile is going to be updated as well. We’re working out some of the details in the web version first this time around, and then mobile will be updated to match (or match closely I’m not sure if it will match exactly). :)

re: those using mobiles can read full posts regardless of the summary settingThanks for your reply at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/photos-not-displayed-in-reader?replies=23#post-2427956
I’ll be expecting you to creatively work towards crafting a way to achieve my desired result, which I am sure is clear to you.

@timethief, it was my fault in not being clear to begin with. The details were on another thread which I gave the link in the second comment on this thread. Didn’t know that this thread would take off like it did.
@designsimply, I have a question for you. Will videos show up on the Reader or not?
I prefer that they did not.
-
@dandelionsalad, videos show up in the Reader right now for full text feeds. I am not sure if they will show up for summary feeds in the future. It hasn’t been decided one way or the other yet.
-
Oh, might help to know, I think if videos do get added back, then you will probably be able to override them by setting a featured image on the post. (This is part of one of the options being considered.)
-
That’s good news, designsimply. Thanks for answering my question so quickly. And another reason to keep the setting for “summary” only.
-
@dandelionsalad, it will be interesting to see how traffic is affected over the next few weeks after the Reader update. I expect full text feeds get better referrals and more traffic from the Reader as a rule.
-
For some unknown reason my blog received a lot of views from Reader yesterday, but only one view today. Doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe it was a glitch.
Usually only less than a handful of views come from Reader each day. So if views go up through Reader it will show up on the old, very classic Stats Page that I use. ;)
-
For the record, are you in favor of adding images back to summary feeds?
I would love to see images back in the summary feeds. Many of the blogs I follow are all about the images — their Reader summaries simply don’t make sense without them.
I agree that one image per post in the Reader would be a good compromise and is something I would support.

Hi can I get some help here please because my settings are on ‘full text’ and I have a serious number of readers complaining that they can’t see some of my images, they are apparently ‘not available’. It’s frustrating and embarassing as my blog is new and I don’t want to lose readers to techinical difficulties.
Any help is much appreciated. -

Is this in the Reader feed or on your blog itself? If they can’t see the images on your blog itself you most likely have a different problem, so it’s best if you start a new thread for that. You can use this link: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1The blog at https://liliannamoonchildlegacy.wordpress.com/ is completely empty. Please remember to include the URL of the blog you need help with when you start a new thread, or post the URL here if the issue is Reader-related so we can check the correct blog.
