Its a very common problem when your images does’nt display in feed.

Why this happens ?

The reason behind this problem is that many bloggers use relative paths for images and links.

I also use relative paths for images and links. For example i use URLs like “/images/blog/image.jpg” instead of the full image URL.

Relative paths are fine when the content is displayed on your website, but when the content is viewed in the news aggregator, it will be looking for the images locally on the user’s hard drive, rather than on your web site.

Solution:

AbsoluteRSS WordPress plugin for translating relative paths to absolute paths in the feed.

This plugin simply makes most relative URI’s in feeds (not posts) absolute links rather than relative. Also this plugin will fix links with relative paths so that they point to the correct location.

Note: If you have similar problems, after installing this plugin, first ping feedburner to get your feed updated and then use the feedvalidator to make sure that your feed is working fine.
