  My blog is a walking blog and I would like to provide gpx files for people to use to follow the trails on the site. However gpx is not an accepted format https://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/. Gpx files are simply xml files that are readable by hiking and mapping apps : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Have you tried renaming the extension to .xml and see if they get uploaded? If that works you can put a notice for your users to rename the file extension back to .gpx after they’ve downloaded it.

  Alternatively, you can zip them and upload the zipped file. Please note that this solution requires a Personal, Premium, or Business plan.

  Not found what I was looking for. I would have liked to share my poetry in verses and not as a novel. All the words are followed each other in a long row.
  That destroys the effect of poetry which was meant.

  Hi onlytodayforyou2,

  Please start a new thread for your question and tag it with modlook (on the right) so we can look at your site there.

  Thanks!
