  1. Install the MapPress plugin (Contact Pica Design if you need help with this)
  2. Open the MapPress box in the New Post or Page section and enter the address and the caption you want to be displayed in the post
  3. Click ‘Save Address’
  4. Click ‘Insert map in post’

MapPress also has options to change the width, height, and zoom level which maps will show. Pica will set this up for you, but if you want to change it for all posts go to ‘Settings’ and ‘MapPress’ and change the values to what you want them to be. If you want to change them for a specific map, the MapPress box used in the post page also has options to change the width, height, and zoom level of the map being inserted into your post.
