Introduction
This tutorial describes how to create maps using the WordPress Geo Mashup plugin. It is assumed that you are familiar with the basics of WordPress, and have already installed and activated the Geo Mashup plugin.
Creating a post
- Go to the WordPress dashboard.

Add a location
While you are on the post edit page
- Scroll the page to the Location section
- Look for a world map

- Zoom the map (use the + an - buttons on the left side of the map) to get close to your location

Saving locations
To save a location, we need to name it. Look below the map, you should see:
