FAQ
- How add separate map for a second gpx file in the same post
-
You can create a second map with adding shortcode
[lfh-map]
before your gpx file shortcode[lfh-gpx src="..."][/lfh-gpx]
.Example:
[lfh-map]
[lfh-gpx src=http://url_of_gpx_file1.gpx ]description[/lfh-gpx]
[lfh-map]
[lfh-gpx src=http://url_of_gpx_file2.gpx ]description[/lfh-gpx] - Where can I create a gpx file ?
-
You can find a website list for do this in the page Track drawing websites.
Openrunner is the best one for me and, most important : this website automatically add the elevation data needed to create the profile.
You can find on this site a quantity of already registered tracks.You can also try the tools on www.mygpsfiles.com, easier to use.
- I have a blank page in place of the marker editor
-
This trouble come from conflict with multiple
x-frame options
directive in your server.
Look at whether the plugin succeeded in writing this following lines in the.htaccess
of your wordpress application if you can:# BEGIN Lf-hiker plugin <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN </IfModule> # END Lf-hiker plugin
It resolve the trouble for me.
You can find more information about this trouble in wordpress support Multiple ‹X-Frame-Options› headers with conflicting values - The route is not displayed
-
If you use WP media library other than the default WP – LF Hiker will not display routes
