One of the unique features of FeedsPress is its support for adding featured images inside XML feeds.

This can be a great way to provide a more engaging user experience and promote content.

Another powerful feature of FeedsPress is its ability to add HTML attachments to existing feeds. These attachments will show up on the feed source XML page and on the destination feed, making it easy to include additional content or calls-to-action alongside your feed content.

    Overriding {local_link} or {permalink} template parameters https://support.earnware.com/feedspress/overriding-local_link-or-permalink-template-parameters/ Thu, 14 May 2020 00:24:31 +0000 http://support.earnware.biz/?p=9597
  • If your template has the links wrapped in {permalink}, to change them to a local link use the  change_to_local_link=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
  • If your template has the links wrapped in {local_link},  to change them to a permalink use the change_to_permalink=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well

    • In this case also please set up the same template on both article_detail_template=”” and template=”” parameters, so it wouldn’t cache that page with a detail page. Otherwise it will show both the article_detail_template feed. Also make sure to add ignore_filter=”true” as the feed items get filtered with the current item that you’re trying to view. In order to stop the filter you’ll need to set it to true.
  • See all FeedsPress parameters here.

    Hillary, Harris, Now What? Democrats Face Gender Truth

    Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama smiling at a public event

    Michelle Obama delivered a harsh reality check to Democrats, bluntly declaring Americans are “lying” about wanting a female president and effectively slamming the door on speculation about her own political ambitions.

    Story Snapshot

    • Michelle Obama categorically rejected calls for her to run for president, stating “You are not ready for a woman”
    • Former First Lady cited Kamala Harris’s 2024 defeat as proof America isn’t prepared for female leadership
    • Obama’s remarks came during a November 2025 book promotion event with Tracee Ellis Ross
    • Her blunt assessment highlights persistent gender bias within the Democratic Party’s own voter base

    Obama’s Blunt Assessment of American Voters

    During a fireside chat promoting her book “The Look,” Michelle Obama delivered an unvarnished critique of American political culture. “Y’all are lying. You are not ready for a woman. You are not. So don’t waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do,” she declared.

    Her remarks directly addressed persistent speculation about her entering the 2028 presidential race, effectively ending such discussions with characteristic directness.

    Harris Defeat Reinforces Gender Barriers

    Obama pointed to Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential loss as definitive evidence of America’s reluctance to elect female leadership. Despite receiving endorsements from both Barack and Michelle Obama, Harris failed to overcome what many observers attributed to entrenched gender biases among voters.

    The defeat marked the second consecutive election cycle where a highly qualified female Democratic candidate lost to Donald Trump, reinforcing patterns first established with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss.

    Democratic Party Faces Leadership Reality Check

    The former First Lady’s comments expose uncomfortable truths about the Democratic Party’s own electoral challenges. Despite decades of advocating for gender equality and representation, the party has struggled to successfully elect female candidates to the presidency.

    Obama’s assessment suggests that even within traditionally progressive coalitions, resistance to female leadership remains a significant obstacle that cannot be overcome through messaging or endorsements alone.

    Conservative Implications of Liberal Disillusionment

    Obama’s candid admission reveals deep fractures within Democratic ranks and validates conservative observations about liberal hypocrisy on gender issues. Her statement that Americans need to “do a lot of growing up” ironically echoes conservative critiques of identity politics and forced representation.

    The acknowledgment that even Democratic voters aren’t genuinely ready for female leadership undermines years of progressive rhetoric about breaking glass ceilings and advancing women in politics.

    This honest assessment from one of the Democratic Party’s most influential figures suggests that American voters, regardless of political affiliation, prioritize competence and electability over symbolic representation.

    Obama’s refusal to enter the race despite continued pressure demonstrates pragmatic political calculation over ideological purity, leaving Democrats to confront the limitations of their own messaging on gender and leadership.
