How do I embed a map in a WordPress blog?

Embedding a Tripline map  in a WordPress blog is as easy as embedding a YouTube video…in fact, it’s the exact same process.

If you have a WordPress blog that you host yourself

  1. Go to the map page on the Tripline site
  2. Select the Share option in the dropdown on the [EDIT MAP] button
  3. Copy the player embed code
  4. Go to your WordPress blog
  5. Create a new post
  6. IMPORTANT: Switch to HTML view by clicking on the HTML tab at the top right of the post editing form.
  7. Paste the embed code in the body of the post
  8. Publish your post!

Here’s an example of how it looks:

If you have a free blog hosted on wordpress.com

WordPress has recently disabled the ability to embed IFRAME objects (like the Tripline player) on free blogs hosted on wordpress.com.  If that’s the type of blog you’re using, your best option is to embed a thumbnail image for your map that will point people to the Tripline site.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Go to the map page on the Tripline site
  2. Select the Share option in the dropdown on the [EDIT MAP] button
  3. Copy the code from the “Thumbnail” field
  4. Go to your WordPress blog
  5. Create a new post
  6. IMPORTANT: Switch to HTML view by clicking on the HTML tab at the top right of the post editing form.
  7. Paste the embed code into your post
  8. Publish your post!
