Lodgix uses Mapbox to (optionally) display property maps through the WordPress plugin. These are displayed on the property list page and the individual property pages. An API key is required to display the maps on your website. You can easily obtain that API key through the Mapbox website.
Sign Up for Mapbox
Navigate to the Mapbox registration page and sign up for an account. You will need to confirm your email address and enter payment information. You can sign up for either a Business or Personal account, whichever is appropriate. Mapbox offers free tiers for all plans, and you are only charged for usage beyond the free tier. More info on pricing can be found later in this support article.
Generate a Mapbox API Key (Token)
Mapbox will provide a default API token that you can use to generate the map on your site, but we recommend that you create a new token specific to your website. Within your Mapbox account, select Admin > Tokens in the left navigation, then select the Create a Token button...
Name the token, and keep the default token scopes...
Add your website URL and click "Create Token"...
Copy your new token to your clipboard...
Add the Mapbox API Token to WordPress
Follow the steps above to add the Mapbox API token to your WordPress website. If your WordPress site is managed by Lodgix simply submit a support ticket and we will update the website for you.
