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

Can I create a map with no lines between places?
Yes, recently we’ve added functionality to create maps with no lines between places. This is a great option for creating lists of your favorite places. Here’s what to do:
- Open your trip in the Editor
- Find the “display” options at the bottom-center of the map
- Choose the “No Lines” option
- Save your map
Here’s an example:
Is there a size limit on photos I can upload?
The limit on photo uploads is 10MB per individual photo.
If you have photos that are bigger than 10MB, you’ll need to down-res them before uploading to Tripline. You should be able to do this in your photo management software, typically in the Export function.
Can I reorder my photos?
FEATURE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Yes. Our newest update to the Tripline photo experience allows you to easily drag and drop images within a waypoint or between waypoints in your Tripline list.
Step 1. Once you’ve uploaded your pictures to a waypoint simply click on [arrange photos] under the row of photos on the trip page.
Step 2. This opens up a tan window at each waypoint. This is the target area for you to drag the desired image to, quickly and easily. Note: you can drag photos to different waypoints!
Step 3. Once you’re done arranging your pictures click Done to save.
