BerqWP

Berq Markdown makes your WordPress content instantly consumable by AI assistants, LLM crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Googlebot-AI), and Markdown-aware tools — without duplicating your content or creating separate pages.
Appending <code>.md</code> to any public page or post URL (e.g. <code>https://example.com/about.md</code>) returns a clean, structured Markdown file with YAML frontmatter. The plugin handles content from all common sources: Gutenberg blocks, classic editor, shortcodes, and custom PHP templates.
How it works
When a visitor or crawler requests <code>/about.md</code>, the plugin intercepts the request, finds the matching WordPress post, converts the HTML content to Markdown, and serves it with the correct <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code> header — all without creating any new database entries or files.
Key Features
<ul>
<li>Automatic .md URLs — any public post or page URL + <code>.md</code> returns clean Markdown</li>
<li>YAML frontmatter — every .md file includes <code>title</code>, <code>description</code>, <code>url</code>, <code>date_modified</code>, <code>author</code>, and <code>language</code></li>
<li>Full content compatibility — works with Gutenberg blocks, classic editor, shortcodes, and custom PHP page templates</li>
<li>HTML to Markdown conversion — pure PHP, no external dependencies; handles headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, code blocks, and more</li>
<li>Internal link rewriting — links to internal pages are rewritten to their <code>.md</code> equivalent automatically</li>
<li>URL exclusions with wildcards — exclude specific URL patterns using <code>*</code> as a wildcard (e.g. <code>/cart/*</code>, <code>*/checkout*</code>)</li>
<li>Post type selection — choose which post types (posts, pages, custom post types) are served as Markdown</li>
<li>Transient caching — optional cache with configurable TTL to reduce server load at scale</li>
<li><code><link></code> tag injection — injects a <code><link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"></code> tag in every page’s <code><head></code> so crawlers can discover the .md version</li>
<li><code>[btrmd313_md_link]</code> shortcode — renders a link to the current page’s <code>.md</code> file, opens in a new tab</li>
<li>Multilingual support — detects language via Polylang or WPML, adds <code>language</code> and <code>alternates</code> to frontmatter and emits <code>hreflang</code> link tags</li>
<li>Public content rendering — always renders content as a non-logged-in visitor, so member-only sections are not exposed</li>
<li>Admin settings page — all options configurable under Settings > Berq Markdown, with a Settings link on the Plugins page</li>
</ul>
