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

tooltester

When you copy content from Google Docs and paste it into WordPress, you get messy HTML like this:
<pre><code>Your perfectly normal text.
</code></pre>
And list items end up looking like this:
<pre><code><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A simple bullet point.</li>
</code></pre>
None of this formatting does anything visible on your site. It just clutters your markup and can cause issues with themes and page builders.
This plugin automatically strips that junk every time you save a post or page.
What it cleans:
<ul>
<li><code></code> wrappers (keeps the text inside, removes the span)</li>
<li><code>style="font-weight: 400;"</code> on list items</li>
<li><code>aria-level</code> attributes on list items (Google Docs nesting markers that WordPress doesn’t need)</li>
</ul>
What it does NOT touch:
<ul>
<li>Bold, italic, links, headings, images, or any other meaningful formatting</li>
<li>Content inside <code><code></code> or <code><pre></code> blocks (safe for tutorial sites that show HTML examples)</li>
<li>Custom fields, widgets, menus, or anything outside the post editor</li>
</ul>
No settings. No admin page. No JavaScript. Just one lightweight filter that runs on save.
