This plugin will grab docs out of a collection in Google Docs, create or update a post in WordPress and then move the doc to a new collection. Google Docs no longer supports xmlrpc, so this is perhaps the easiest way to move content from your Google Docs account to your self-hosted WordPress install.

Docs to WordPress

Great feature to push Google Docs to WordPress.
Installation required some patience; a value check for the WP configuration would be great; somehow I had several URLs in the input fields.
Re-editing in gDocs and then moving it back into the origin folder is working (cron).
After re-editing/re-submission the previous WP Category setting were gone.
I did not explore the formatting behavior.
Super plugin for a tech-savvy admin/developer.
Don't let this project die.
Idea: In the WP settings give me a field for an email address and send me a message w/ link for each new post. Also a check box would be great to choose between draft and publish for new posts.

Easily move posts from Google Docs to WordPress

If you use Google Docs to edit and revise content with a team of people, you can now create a draft blog post or page in WordPress without cluttering your web content with inappropriate HTML and inline styles. The tool extracts images and allows you to download them or import them directly into WordPress.
This simplifies what would otherwise be a multistep process of
<ul>
<li>Either pasting into the rich text editor or cleaning up the HTML or pasting into code view and recreating styling</li>
<li>Downloading images from Google Docs, one at a time</li>
<li>Uploading images into WordPress</li>
</ul>
Originally created for use by the <a href="https://www.similarweb.com/corp/blog/insights/" rel="nofollow ugc">Insights Newsroom team at Similarweb</a>, this plugin allows editorial teams to collaborate on the writing and editing of a document, including image placement, in Google Docs, quickly turn that content into a draft blog post, and then tweak as necessary in the blog editor.
Works with either the block editor or the classic editor.
For the block editor, basic block metadata is added for paragraphs, headings, unordered lists, and images. Any other content will be displayed as classic blocks, with the option to use the Convert to Blocks function of the editor.
The shortcode [draft_from_google_docs] is available for including this functionality on a public web page. In that case, the content is not imported directly into WordPress but displayed in a format that allows it to be copied and pasted into the WordPress editor. In that case, images associated with the document are displayed in a format that allows you to download them into your computer and upload them one by one into your post or page. Including the download_ok=”1″ attribute within the shortcode means the images will be downloaded into the local WordPress instance. Otherwise, the download links will point to the Google Cloud url for those images.
