 * Hi there,
 * After **installing**, **activating** and **adding the .gpx-extension** I uploaded
   a GPX-file.
    Goes well.
 * When I’m linking to the file I get the following error:
    “_This XML file does
   not appear to have any style information associated with it._”
 * How do I fix this?

 * The plugin only adds the file extension that can upload to WordPress.
    So, it
   doesn’t touch the behavior of the browser when it accesses a GPX file. I think
   that a part of the content(XML) in the GPX file was displayed when your browser
   access to it because the GPX file type is XML format.
 * I think the way to display GPX in WordPress would need to be integrated with 
   a MAP-based system. To simply download the GPX file, you’ll need to change the
   MIME settings for the GPX file on your web server; application/gpx+xml seems 
   to be the most commonly used, but if not, you’ll need to set application/octet-
   stream. You had better contact the suppoter of the web server.

 * Hi [@kimipooh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimipooh/) ,
 * Thanks for your quick reply.
 * I would like to able the function to download the GPX file.
    How do I _change
   the MIME settings for the GPX file on my web server_? Or _set application/octet-
   stream_?
 * Cheers

 * That feature will be a feature of the webserver, not WordPress.
    If you are using
   Apache as your web server system, and .htaccess allows users to change the behavior
   of the extension, try adding a setting to the .htaccess file in your WordPress
   installation directory, as described below.

 * In detail, please ask the management of the webserver you are using.
