How to create a map to your church

Apr 8th, 2010 | Posted by Ray Waldo | Filed under How To's

Bishop Moore has WISELY stated that every church website should have a map to help visitors find the church building. This is VERY easy to accomplish with our system.

To create a map on YOUR website, just visit the ADMIN function (the dashboard for your dashboard). Under SETTINGS, click on “MapPress” and fill in the blanks.

GOOGLE MAPS API KEY: You are welcome to request your own key from Google. It is free and takes just a couple minutes here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

After you complete the setup and save your configuration,

  1. Click on the PAGES/ADD NEW.
  2. Name the page whatever you like (we used MAP).
  3. Type any introductory information in the content entry box.
  4. Enter the desired address in the “MapPress” box (just under the content entry box) and press “Add location”. (you can preview the map below the MapPress box).
  5. Click on the “Insert map shortcode in post”
  6. Type any additional info you wish below the shortcode (in square brackets)
  7. Click PUBLISH.

Here is a sample of what it can look like:
