Cannot load GPX file

    Hi,
    I tried to load my gpx track, but it doesn’t work. The sample gpx track from the shortcode documentation works though.

    [leaflet-map fitbounds]
[leaflet-gpx src="wp-content/uploads/2021/09/track.gpx" color=black]

    According to DevTools, the file is retrieved by leaflet-ajax-geojson.min.js?ver=3.0.2 but there’s an uncaught error in the console.

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getElementsByTagName' of null
    at get (togeojson.js?ver=3.0.2:15)
    at Object.gpx (togeojson.js?ver=3.0.2:302)
    at XMLHttpRequest.request.t.onreadystatechange (leaflet-ajax-geojson.min.js?ver=3.0.2:1)

    I’m not sure what is the problem here. The file works perfectly fine in other apps.

    It’s not a wp.com installation.

    I misinterpreted this, but these calls are now gone.

    Write in your .htaccess file above the WordPress lines:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .*\.gpx$ - [L,T=application/gpx+xml]

    P.S. Backup this file and use an editor like Notepad++!

    I agree with this. It looks to me like it’s reading the xml as text instead of xml.

    See this if statement: https://github.com/bozdoz/wp-plugin-leaflet-map/blob/master/scripts/leaflet-ajax-geojson.js#L32-L36

    if (type === 'json') {
  data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
} else if (['kml', 'gpx'].indexOf(type) !== -1) {
  data = window.toGeoJSON[type](xhr.responseXML);
}

    It’s reading the type as ‘gpx’, but there is no xhr.responseXML. There is, however, a value for xhr.responseText. So it should just be a matter of fixing the mimetype/content-type, like @hupe13 said.

    Cool, this fixed the issue. Thanks! However, I’ll stick with @hupe13’s extension which was already working before.
