Bing Maps for WordPress allows you to create maps easily with a [bingMap] shortcode in your posts. You don’t have to worry about how the maps are displayed, the plugin takes care of that. You can create dynamic maps that allow your visitors to pan and zoom, or static maps that don’t have those features. You can create Road maps, Aerial views, Aerial views with roads marked on them, or even a 3D Birdseye view.
How to use – quick example
Add a [bingMap] shortcode into a post, configure it, and you’re done! Here is a quick example:
[bingMap location=”Beunos Aires, Argentina” zoom=”13″]

Once you have the plugin installed, edit a post, and use a shortcode of [bingMap] to create a Bing Map on the page.
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 app
attribute, the center of the map will be used. Turn it off by settingpp
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”]
- Why won’t my maps show at all?

Have you signed up for a Bing Maps API key? And have you entered it in the settings page? If not, follow these steps:
- 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;}
