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=https://url_of_gpx_file1.gpx ]description[/lfh-gpx]
[lfh-map]
[lfh-gpx src=https://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

Great!

icetear February 27, 2019

This plugin is really useful and I hope that it will be supported for a long period of time!

Very useful plugin

RobWord May 24, 2018

As I am developing a site for a Mountain Refuge I was desperate to find a plugin that would help in their request to show the paths and trails around the mountain. Not only is this the only one that works well, but does the job I required. Great work!

TOP !

Zeer goede en duidlijke plugin, proficiat prachtig werk.

fatal error fixed, great plugin

fribble March 14, 2018

Elisabeth turned around a fatal error into a working plugin really quickly. The plugin works, looks good and does what I want – what more can you ask for? Howard

Good combination of features

February 21, 2018

I need to display both a map with points of interest as well as displaying GPX tracks. This is the first plugin that I’ve found that easily combines both features into one plugin. I’ve used other separate plugins for each feature, but often when you have two map plugins on one page you get display errors or Google API conflicts, so they don’t work. I’m very excited to find this one plugin for all of the features, and one that is being updated and supported currently

So Happy to find plugin with profile elevation
