# WordPress

Installation should take only a few minutes.

1. Download the plugin from <https://wordpress.org/plugins/boldmapper/>
2. Upload the `boldmapper` plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
4. You can now access the Boldmapper admin panel under `Settings -> Boldmapper`. From there, you can add a global default Map ID from[ ](https://basemapper.com/dashboard)the [Dashboard](https://basemapper.com/dashboard). You can find your Map ID on the **General Settings** tab for your map.&#x20;

#### Using the shortcode

Once your Map ID is added you can then use the `[boldmapper]` shortcode on any page to render a map. If you have multiple maps and would like to specify a different map, you can override the global Map ID by specifying it in the shortcode like `[boldmapper map="89fb1f31-b36f-4d98-9dc4-90e7dd92a2ad"]`.

#### Using the widget

Widget availability will be based on your theme, but wherever you can add a widget you can select the Boldmapper widget by clicking on `Add a Widget` and selecting `Boldmapper Store Locator`.

For your map to render, you will need to register for a Mapbox API token. Once registered, you can access your token at <https://account.mapbox.com/access-tokens/>.
