* Hello tinuzz
* I have problems getting embedded maps to work. The preview in the bottom pane
or the page pointed to by the permalink simply remain empty.
* Here is what I did:
1. Create embedded map: – adding new embedded map called“
test”: [tsmap id=20] (i.e. same expression that works on a regular page) – permalink
is shown as [https://my.domain/tsmap/test](https://my.domain/tsmap/test)
* 2. Publish
– embed html stanza is then shown as
* ``
* – preview pane at the bottom remains empty (no error)
* 3. Open the permalink
– no error, but empty page – page source:
* ```
test
```
* Any help appreciated. Any hint where and what to look for?
* apache 2.4.38
wordpress 5.5.1 php 7.3.19

* Sorry for not replying any sooner.
* This is a weird issue. The page source that you posted is missing lots of important
stuff, like CSS and Javascript for rendering the map and the tracks.
* It seems that the template in Trackserver is to blame, but at this point I’m
kind of baffled by how I could have not noticed that before.
* I’ll look into it. Thank you.

* Hi,
* This is a little embarrassing. The HTML template for embedded maps that shipped
with Trackserver is broken. It is missing important function calls, and in fact
it does not load any of the necessary CSS and JavaScript because of that. TBH,
I have no idea how it could ever have worked, even for me. I just don’t know
and I sincerely apologize.
* To make it work, you have to download this file:
* [https://github.com/tinuzz/wp-plugin-trackserver/blob/master/embedded-template.php](https://github.com/tinuzz/wp-plugin-trackserver/blob/master/embedded-template.php)
* and upload it to the Trackserver folder (wp-content/plugins/trackserver/) on
your WordPress install. The only difference with the previous file is a call
to `wp_head();` at the top, and a call to `wp_footer();` at the bottom.
* Of course, this fix will be part of the next release, which I hope to get out
soon.
* Simply adding calls to `wp_head()` and `wp_footer()` will potentially add a lot
of CSS and Javascript to the embedded map HTML, because all of your WordPress
plugins will be active for embedded maps, like for any other page. The next Trackserver
release will limit the CSS and Javascript in an embedded map to the styles and
scripts used by Trackserver itself, and not include any styles and scripts added
by other plugins, keeping the map HTML lean.
* Best regards,
Martijn.
