Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Bing Maps for WordPress
If you just put [bingMap] on your page you'll get something, but it centers the map on Timbuktu, so you might want to change some attributes:
location - Specify where you want your map centered. Be as specific as you can, include the country code, an example would be "Birmingham, West Midlands, UK".
width - Define how wide you want your map to be. Default is 400px.
height - Define how high you want your map to be. Default is 400px.
title - Define a title for your map - displays above the map.
locationtitle - Override location title (dynamic map only)
locationlink - Set a URL for your title to link to (dynamic map only)
type - "static", or "dynamic". If you leave it blank, it will default to dynamic.
maptype - In static mode, options are: "Road", "Aerial" and "AerialWithLabels". In dynamic map mode, "Road", "Aerial", "AerialWithLabels" or "Birdseye". Default is "Road".
zoom - Define the zoom level. the higher the more zoomed in. If you are in Birdseye mode, zoom is quite restricted.
pp - Where to place a pushpin on your map. If you don't include a pp attribute, the center of the map will be used. Turn it off by setting pp to "false".
pp* - Add pushpins to your map. Use pp1="", pp2="" and so on. Bear in mind there is a limit to the number of pushpins you can actually have. If you're not in Birdseye mode, the map will automatically zoom out so all pushpins can display.
ppt* - Set the pushpin title (dynamic map only)
ppd* - Set the pushpin description (dynamic map only)
ppl* - Set the pushpin link (dynamic map only)
Here are a few examples:
[bingMap location="Birmingham, West Midlands, UK" maptype="AerialWithLabels" zoom="15" description="Center of Birmingham, UK"]
[bingMap type="static" location="Mexico City, Mexico" zoom="13"]
[bingMap maptype="birdseye" location="Niagara Falls, Canada" width="650" height="300" pp="false"]
[bingMap location="New York, USA" pp1="Philadelphia, USA"]

Sign up for a Bing Maps API Key.
Enter it in the "Bing Maps for Wordpress" settings page - it's under Settings in your WordPress Control Panel.
I've signed up, but I don't have an API key
You have to go to the create/view keys section on the Bing Maps API signup - just create a key and enter your blog details.
How do I change the style of the pushpin?
At the moment, you can't if you're using a dynamic Bing map. But if you're using a static map, add ";5" (5 is the icon style) to the end of your pp attribute, so something like:
pp="Timbuktu;10"
For a full list of all icon styles for pushpins, check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701719.aspx
How do I style the map on my blog?
All of the content is in a <div> container with a class of "bingMapsForWordpressContainer", the maps then sit inside a <div> with a class of "bingMapsForWordpress", so the structure looks a bit like this:
<div class="bingMapsForWordpressContainer">
<div class="bingMapsForWordpress">
<span class="bingMapsForWordpressTitle">Map Title</span>
... map content is here ...
</div>
</div>
Reference any of these classes and IDs in your theme CSS and the maps will be styled - here is how to add a border to all your bing maps:
.bingMapsForWordpress{border:solid 2px red;}
And here is how to style just the title:
.bingMapsForWordpressTitle{font-weight:bold;}
Enter it in the "Bing Maps for Wordpress" settings page - it's under Settings in your WordPress Control Panel.
