Then use the webmap ID (see the “Screenshots” page for help) to embed the map in WordPress in the format `[webmap id="MyWebmapId"]` Does my webmap need to be publicly shared? Yes. Share your webmap with the public, copy the webmap ID (from the URL bar when you’re on the ArcGIS Online map page) and paste it into the shortcode! What options are available in the shortcode?

I was apprehensive installing this old unofficial plugin, but it works very well and does not seem to break anything else on my site. (In fact, even my old shortcode worked, out of the box!) It would be nice to get a plugin update to officially confirm WP compatability and remove the soft warning:”Version: 2.0.4 Last updated: 4 years ago.This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported.” But other than that, many thanks to the author @gavinr for providing this option. 5⭐ ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fb4564f196476a9c7d2fa120dba239b32e255c50e9e3a838c6130e369ba741e7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Working in WordPress 5.8.2!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-in-wordpress-5-8-2/)󠁿 [jaapsmitadvies](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jaapsmitadvies/) November 24, 2021 Great Plugin, Not working: basemap_toggle view-larger-link Jaap ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ba0044c3d2ad1d51b4e314932a5165480a989f0a1d9bcbe56409c8a4144e610b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Added ERSI ARCGis map](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/added-ersi-arcgis-map/)󠁿 [dgrimes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dgrimes/) March 31, 2020 I had to jump to HTML mode to make sure the correct double-quotes got add, but that was easy.

I have little experience with WP and coding and I was able to go into the text portion of my frontpage and add [webmap id=”????f8926afa4?????ed2dc80e6b????” height=”650″] to get mey ESRI web map at the correct height for my site. There are many other custom short-code options in the description that you simply type between the brackets. This plugin works great! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ed39e72c2448f05ce448ce61f0dd313b5c0eb21309bd9d0d1fff326b2a1d8fca? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple Straightforward Plug-in that saves a ton of coding](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-straightforward-plug-in-that-saves-a-ton-of-coding/)󠁿 [Hepburn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thomas-hepburn/) September 3, 2016 1 reply An Excellent Plug-in for Version 1.0 I wanted to give 4 and-a-half stars but decided to round up. There is a bit of confusion with using the ‘extent’ option. The author gives a link for help, which I used, but the helper site gave the wrong info…. I think. Just a wee bit more help with Options in shortcodes, but truly awesome. Thanks.
