Usage

[webmap id="52475e6edb18471780858627b40460c2"]

… replacing the ID section with the webmap ID that you got from your map.

Questions

What is Arcgis.com and how do I create a webmap?

Go to http://www.arcgis.com. If you have an account, login. If not, sign up for an account. Then create a new map, add some content, save, then share the map publicly. Then use the webmap ID (see the “Screenshots” page for help) to embed the map in WordPress in the format [webmap id="MyWebmapId"]

Does my webmap need to be publicly shared?

Yes. Share your webmap with the public, copy the webmap ID (from the URL bar when you’re on the ArcGIS Online map page) and paste it into the shortcode!

What options are available in the shortcode?

Height, width, zoom, scale, and many more! Please see the “Shortcode Options” page for more details.
