Using the MapBox plugin you can quickly and easily embed maps from MapBox Hosting into your site. MapBox hosting is an easy-to-use service for hosting maps. Whether you design custom maps in TileMill or use the existing layers in our tileset library, MapBox makes it easy get maps onto your site.
- Visit tiles.mapbox.com and find the map you want to embed.
- When viewing the map click the "Embed" button. It's in the bottom right corner of the map.
- Adjust the height and width of the map in the popup.
- When you're happy with the map, copy the 'embed code'. It begins with "<iframe".
- On your WordPress site add a new post, or edit an existing one.
- Switch the editor to "HTML" and paste the embed code where you'd like the map.
- Save, then view your post and enjoy the map!
You may notice that the MapBox plugin converts the embed code into a WordPress shortcode. The mapbox shortcode can take several options, all of which are optional. The order doesn't matter at all.
layers- a comma seperated list of layers. The format of each layer is{account}.{layer}.width- the desired width of the map, in pixels.height- the desired height of the map, in pixels.lat- The latitude where the map should be centered.lon- The longitude where the map should be centered.z- The 'zoom level' of the map. Zoom level '12' is a street level view, '1' is the view from the moon.options- Controls and other options, a comma seperated list.
