First thing you need to do is login to your WordPress admin area and go to Plugins -> Add New.

Then click on ‘Activate‘ button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After activating the plugin, ‘Maps’ tab will appear in your dashboard and click on it to make changes.

In the next page you can click on ‘Skip intro and create a map‘ button.
