    Hello,
    I cant figure out how to make OSM show a simple KML file on a map. I have tried and tried, but nonthing works ?? If anybody has any good ideas, I am all ears ??

    Shortcode used (on https://rauhe.dk/tech/test-osm/):
    [*osm_map_v3 mwz="true" map_center="56.16,10.297" zoom="8" width="75%" height="600" file_list="../../../../gpx/test.kml"]

    [*osm_map_v3 mwz="true" map_center="56.16,10.297" zoom="8" width="75%" height="600" file_list="www.rauhe.dk/tech/gpx/test.kml"]

    I have included the KML file as plain text hereunder. Can it be taht the KML is illegal? Is there any debug possibilities that I can try?

    Best regards
    John

    Hi John,

    Modify your testpage with these shortcodes:

    1st Test:
    [osm_map_v3 mwz="true" map_center="56.16,10.297" zoom="8" width="75%" height="600"]

    2nd Test:
    [osm_map_v3 mwz="true" map_center="56.16,10.297" zoom="8" width="75%" height="600" file_list="https://www.rauhe.dk/tech/gpx/test.kml"]

    Hello MiKa,
    Thanks for the reply – It is greatly appreciated!

    I tried the shortcodes that you gave, but I am afraid that it does not make a great difference.

    The test examples has been updated on the test page (‘*’ versions before the actual versions):
    https://rauhe.dk/tech/test-osm/

    I am running WordPress 5.4 and OSM 5.4 (if this makes any difference)

    Best regards

    Hi John,

    1st Test is OK, the map is shown.
    2nd Test is not OK.
    + map is shown
    + Link of KML is correct
    – KML is not shown in the map

    So I suggest to replace your test-KML with a test KML from the plugin site:
    https://wp-osm-plugin.hanblog.net/examples/display-kml-file/

    After the first map you see the sentence: “Download this sample kml-file HERE.” Download this file, upload it at your page and modify the shortcode to load this file.

    Hi MiKa,

    I have tried what you suggested (I was wondering about the KML file myself), but it gives the same result; the maps is displayed correctly, but there are no overlays on the map.
    https://rauhe.dk/tech/test-osm/

    The WordPress installation is quite new and ‘clean’. I tried disabling all other plugins and checked the file and folder permissions (grasping at straws; I know), but with no positive results.

    Do you have any other suggestions, that I can try?

    Thanks!

    Hi John,

    we do have a map that is shown and there is a KML file that works on the plugin site, so let’s focus on them. I could get also this error msg on your site:

    Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.rauhe.dk/tech/gpx/OSM_02.kml. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

    Follow these steps:

    * delete all the maps on your testpage except the very first one.
    * modify the only one:
    [osm_map_v3 map_center="38.713,-9.136" zoom="16" width="95%" height="300" map_border="thin solid orange" file_list="https://rauhe.dk/tech/gpx/OSM_02.kml"]
    you can see the filelink is without www.

    Great! This did the trick. I can now see the line in the test KML in Lisboa. I have modified the icon paths in OSM_02.kml (OSM_02_nonrel.kml) and can also see the penguin.

    I obviously can’t use relative paths or ‘www’ in front of a webpage name, but as long as I can see some result I can work from here.

    Thanks again!

    Hi John,

    great to see that you mastered it ?? As you did also the modification within the KML you can add a lot of information since KML is the most powerfull way to show info in the map.

    To find the relative path is sometimes tricky, it’s most time trial and error. It could be something like:
    ../../../../gpx/OSM_02.kml

    For your site I suggest to force https (eg with redirect from http access) or change all content to relative paths. If you access your site via http:

    https://rauhe.dk/tech/test-osm/

    you can not see the track but get this error:

    Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://rauhe.dk/tech/gpx/OSM_02.kml. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

    Thank you again for your help!

    I found that the relative path that worked for my site was “./gpx/OSM_02.kml”.

    Hi John,
    great you did it with the relative path, for sure the best way.

    Would be great if you:

    * mark this issue as resolved
    * give us a rate / review here

    Thanks and br,
    MiKa
