202612 releases

  1. WP GPX Maps 1.13.00Latest

    • New: the mouse wheel zooms the map while it is in full screen (Leaflet, MapLibre and Mapbox), then follows the setting again when it leaves full screen
    • Map buttons redesigned: the same look for Leaflet, MapLibre and Mapbox, all on the right in the order zoom, full screen, map type, flyover; the map style of MapLibre and Mapbox is chosen from a layers button
    • Soft edges also on the MapLibre maps
    • Built with Node 26 LTS and Vite 8

  2. WP GPX Maps 1.12.01

    • Fix: the CyclOSM style is no longer offered for the MapLibre maps, where it stayed empty (its server does not allow MapLibre to load the tiles); maps that used it show the Liberty style. CyclOSM still works with the Leaflet maps

  3. WP GPX Maps 1.12.00

    • New: map effects for MapLibre and MapBox, in the settings, in the block and in the shortcode: fog and sky (fog), shaded relief that shows mountains and valleys also on flat maps (hillshade) and the height of the 3D terrain (exaggeration)

  4. WP GPX Maps 1.11.01

    • Fix: no more 404 error in the browser console for maplibre-gl-worker.mjs.map on the MapLibre maps

  5. WP GPX Maps 1.11.00

    • New: MapLibre map engine, free and open source: vector maps and 3D terrain without an API key, fog, tilted view, animation on load, flyover and a style switcher. Choose it in the settings, in the block or with engine=maplibre
    • MapLibre is the recommended engine and the default on new sites; existing sites keep their maps as they are until the engine is changed in the settings
    • New: maplibrestyle and a custom MapLibre style (the https URL of a style.json, e.g. MapTiler or Stadia Maps)
    • Faster pages: MapBox and MapLibre are loaded only by the maps that use them, the Leaflet maps load about 4 times less JavaScript
    • Fix: no more 404 error in the browser console for WP-GPX-Maps.es.js.map

  6. WP GPX Maps 1.10.04

    • New name on wordpress.org, “WP GPX Maps – GPX, FIT & KML maps with elevation profile”, and new tags, so the plugin is easier to find
    • The “what’s new” notice is shown only after a new version (for example 1.10 to 1.11), not after small fixes like this one
    • The readme links to the wordpress.org support forum

  7. WP GPX Maps 1.10.03

    • Fix: deactivating the plugin no longer deletes its settings; they are removed only when the plugin is deleted
    • The notice after an update shows what is new, with the video, instead of the old message about Mapbox: the free OpenStreetMap maps do not need a Mapbox key
    • A short request to leave a review, two weeks after the installation or the update (only for administrators, on the dashboard, the plugins page and the WP GPX Maps page; it can be postponed or turned off)
    • Links to leave a review, to support the development and to get notified about WP GPX Maps Pro at the top of the WP GPX Maps page

  8. WP GPX Maps 1.10.02

    • Fix: the max grade in the summary is measured over about 200 m instead of 100 m, so a small elevation error of the GPS no longer gives grades like 50-70% (tested also on 30,000-point tracks); the track colors by grade do not change

  9. WP GPX Maps 1.10.01

    • Fix: the “Reduce GPX” and “Cache” checkboxes in the settings had labels that said the opposite of what they do: they are now “Keep all GPX points (do not reduce)” and “Do not use the cache” (the saved settings do not change)
    • Fix: the labels and options of the settings page can be translated

  10. WP GPX Maps 1.10.00

    • New: FIT (Garmin, Wahoo and other devices), TCX and KML / KMZ files, with heart rate, cadence, temperature and times when the file has them; KML placemarks are shown as waypoints
    • New: the map style is loaded only on the pages that show a map, and every map downloads its code only when it gets near the screen (lazy load): faster pages, also for the pages without maps
    • New: every map describes its track in text (for screen readers, search engines and AI assistants) and in schema.org structured data (JSON-LD), with settings, shortcode attributes description and structureddata and filters to change them
    • New: activities (hiking, walking, stroller-friendly, mountain bike, road cycling, gravel, trail running, climbing, snowshoeing, ski touring, or your own) for posts, pages and track files, with an emoji icon, a page for each activity, site search by activity and the activities in the structured data
    • New: track files (GPX, FIT, TCX, KML, KMZ) in the Media Library, organized by month and searchable, with a “Media Library” button in the GPX Map block; links to the site’s own files are read as local files instead of being downloaded
    • Security: every uploaded track file (Media Library and Tracks tab) is checked: it must be a valid track file, without scripts, HTML or XML entities
    • New: soft edges, the map fades into the page (setting, block option and fadeedges attribute, also with the color of the page)
    • New: OpenTopoMap (OSM9, replaces Hike & Bike, whose server is offline) and CyclOSM (OSM12) maps
    • Fix: a clear message instead of an empty map when the file is corrupted, is not a track file or has no track points
    • Fix: total distance too long when some points of the track have no elevation (a vertical jump to 0 m was added to the distance)
    • Fix: GPX files with only a route (no track) have distance, statistics and chart
    • Fix: the OpenStreetMap credit link uses https (no mixed content warning on https sites)
    • Fix: OpenStreetMap maps in the block editor showed “Access blocked” tiles (the editor sends no Referer for images)
    • Fix: Open Cycle Map without a Thunderforest API key stopped the map with a JavaScript error, it now shows CyclOSM; the other Thunderforest maps without a key show OpenStreetMap
    • Fix: the Thunderforest Outdoors address was misspelled, so that map never loaded
    • Fix: OpenSeaMap is shown over OpenStreetMap (it only has the sea marks) and can be turned on and off in the layer list
    • Fix: the map attributions credit the real map provider instead of MapBox; the OpenStreetMap tiles are no longer downloaded twice
    • Removed the “MapToolKit – Terrain” option (provider removed in 1.7.02): maps that still use it show OpenStreetMap

  11. WP GPX Maps 1.9.00

    • New: “GPX Map” block for the block editor, with live preview, a list of the uploaded GPX files and all the main options in the sidebar (the [sgpx] shortcode keeps working)
    • New: several GPX files in one map, gpx=”a.gpx,b.gpx”: one color per file, legend, cumulative distance and totals
    • New: start / finish markers (hide with startend=”false”) and distance markers every N km or miles (kmmarkers=”5″)
    • New: summary with moving time, max speed and max grade (summarymovingtime, summarymaxspeed, summarymaxgrade)
    • New: filled elevation profile and a vertical line on the selected point; hovering the track also shows the point in the chart with MapBox
    • Fix: “Total descent” was a negative number
    • Fix: the chart distance no longer restarts from 0 for each track of a multi-track GPX file
    • Fix: chart tooltip showed pixel positions instead of distance and values; selecting a point from the map did not show it in the chart
    • Developers: wpgpxmaps_get_track_info() and wpgpxmaps_module_url(); the map module exports Leaflet
    • New: MapBox style, 3D terrain and initial 3D view for each map: mapboxstyle, mapbox3d, pitch, bearing (also in the block)
    • Charts: grade averaged over about 100 m and speed without GPS spikes; max speed computed the same way; whole meters on the altitude axis
    • Fix: gheight=”0px” showed an empty chart instead of hiding it
    • New: color the track by grade (climb / descent), speed, heart rate or elevation, with a legend on the map: colorby=”grade|speed|hr|elevation”, in the block and in the settings
    • Fix: “false” values in the shortcode (e.g. showele=false, summary=false) now turn off options enabled in the settings
    • Maps also start when the page is already loaded (block editor preview, content loaded later)
    • Developers: hooks for add-ons (filters wpgpxmaps_shortcode_atts, wpgpxmaps_map_extra, wpgpxmaps_map_html, wpgpxmaps_block_shortcode_atts, wpgpxmaps_admin_tabs; actions wpgpxmaps_enqueue_scripts, wpgpxmaps_admin_tab_{tab}; JavaScript event “wpgpxmaps:ready”)

  12. WP GPX Maps 1.8.00

    • MapBox provider: needs ApiKey and brings a lot of new cool features like 3d maps and much more
    • Security: fixed a reflected XSS. Shortcode parameters can no longer be set from the page URL (query string)
    • Security: GPX files and folders must be inside the WordPress site, wp-content or uploads folder (path traversal)
    • Security: added nonce checks to GPX upload and to the update notice dismiss (CSRF)
    • Security: safer cache reading, no network access while parsing GPX, temporary copies of remote GPX are deleted
    • Fix: map not displayed on pages with nested permalinks or with WordPress in a subfolder
    • Fix: map not displayed when waypoints are enabled
    • Fix: PHP 8 fatal errors with missing, invalid or remote GPX files that can’t be downloaded
    • Fix: PHP 8 errors with tracks without time or elevation and with empty heart rate, cadence or temperature values
    • Fix: PHP 8 warnings with images without GPS data, missing NextGen galleries, Clear Cache and shortcodes outside posts
    • Fix: files uploaded by Editors and Authors are saved in their own folder again
    • Fix: total time in the summary is correct for tracks longer than 24 hours
    • Fix: chart error (and map not centered) with GPX files that contain more than one track
    • Fix: chart error when the altitude chart is disabled
    • Fix: heart rate, cadence and temperature are read from every GPX app (e.g. Strava), not only Garmin
    • Fix: custom waypoint icon was never shown
    • Fix: MapBox maps use the API key and the default style from the plugin settings
    • MapBox: waypoints with popups, no duplicate markers when the style is changed, play button icon
    • Fix: GPX files with more than one track are drawn as separate lines (Leaflet and MapBox)
    • Fix: browsers load the new JavaScript after every plugin update (no stale cache)
    • Thanks to arnaud-izzi (PHP 8 fixes for GPX files without elevation, GitHub #65) and DAnn2012 (help text, GitHub #66)
    • Requires WordPress 6.5 and PHP 7.4 or newer
