ONE COMPLETE TRIP ENTRY

Give readers the route and the practical details—not just a line on a map.

The plugin keeps trip metadata and uploaded tracks in your WordPress site, then presents them together in a consistent front-end viewer. Map tiles are loaded from your configured provider.

Structured trip stats

Distance, climb, surface, access and seasonal details rendered consistently in every post.

Interactive route maps

Front-end maps and route overlays designed for quick scanning and comfortable reading.

Altitude profiles

Elevation charts sit alongside the map, giving visitors the effort profile at a glance.

Trip-type aware fields

Cycling, hiking and train journeys can each expose the details that matter for that format.

Theme-friendly CSS

Override the viewer stylesheet or replace its front-end templates to match your WordPress theme.

Open-source workflow

Trip data and track uploads stay with your WordPress content; the BSD-licensed code is open to inspect and adapt.

IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?

Purpose-built for trip stories.

WP Trip Summary is a focused publishing tool, not a general-purpose map builder.

GOOD FIT

Choose it when you want…

  • A route, trip facts and rider notes tied to a WordPress post
  • Dedicated fields for cycling, hiking and train journeys
  • Track files stored and managed with your own site content
LOOK ELSEWHERE WHEN YOU NEED…

A general mapping platform

  • Standalone maps unrelated to a trip post
  • Arbitrary shapes, points of interest or map directories
  • WordPress Multisite support—the plugin does not currently support it
