HBmarkdown For Editors lets you upload any Markdown (.md) file directly into a WordPress post or page and converts it into properly formatted content — no copy-pasting, no third-party services, no fuss.
Works with both the Classic Editor (TinyMCE) and the Block Editor (Gutenberg).
<h4>How it works</h4>
In the Classic Editor, an Import Markdown button appears right next to the Add Media button. Click it, pick your .md file (or drag and drop), and the content is converted and inserted instantly.
In the Block Editor, an Import Markdown panel is available in the sidebar.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Next to Add Media — the Classic Editor button lives exactly where you expect it, in the media button row</li>
<li>Modal file importer — sleek popup with drag-and-drop support and live status feedback</li>
<li>Auto post title — if your Markdown file has a <code>title:</code> or <code>Title:</code> field in its frontmatter, the post title is filled in automatically</li>
<li>Block-aware conversion — outputs native Gutenberg block markup (wp:paragraph, wp:heading, wp:table, etc.) when Gutenberg is active</li>
<li>Pure PHP parser — zero external dependencies, no Composer, no npm, no build step; runs on any shared host</li>
<li>Full Markdown support — headings (ATX + Setext), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline and fenced code blocks, ordered/unordered lists, GFM tables, blockquotes, images, links, horizontal rules</li>
<li>Role-based access — choose which user roles can import Markdown via the settings page</li>
<li>Configurable file size limit — set the maximum .md file size in KB</li>
<li>Zero front-end footprint — assets are only loaded on post/page edit screens</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Markdown Syntax</h4>
<ul>
<li>ATX headings (<code># H1</code> through <code>###### H6</code>) and Setext headings</li>
<li>Bold, italic, ~~strikethrough~~</li>
<li>Inline code and fenced code blocks (with language hint)</li>
<li>Ordered and unordered lists (nested supported)</li>
<li>GFM tables</li>
<li>Blockquotes</li>
<li>Images (<code>![alt](url)</code>)</li>
<li>Hyperlinks (<code>[text](url)</code>)</li>
<li>Horizontal rules (<code>---</code>)</li>
<li>YAML frontmatter <code>title:</code> field (auto-applied to post title)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
HBmarkdown does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Uploaded .md files are processed entirely in server memory and discarded immediately after conversion. No data is sent to external servers.

This plugin disables the new Gutenberg Editor (aka Block Editor) and replaces it with the Classic Editor. You can disable Gutenberg completely, or selectively disable for posts, pages, roles, post types, and theme templates. Plus you can hide the Gutenberg nag, menu item, and more!

Gutenberg is a useful editor but sometimes you want to disable it for specific posts, pages, user roles, post types, and/or theme templates. This plugin enables you to disable Gutenberg and replace it with the Classic Editor wherever you want. For example, lots of WordPress users already enjoy robust page-building functionality via one of the many great plugins like Composer or Elementor. So many options, no need to feel “locked in” to using Gutenberg!

Thanks


Very useful--restores Wordpress to the way I need it--clean and, easy-to-edit.


Very useful--restores Wordpress to the way I need it


I can't really imagine Wordpress without this plugin. The nonsense called Gutenberg reliably eliminates and nothing else is needed.


The most important plugin the wordpress world needs


Sometimes the block editor is fine to use, but glad this plugin was made. 



Cheers.


Annoying that this is still required in 2025


Whether you love or hate either editor, being able to switch between both feels like a major unlock to your workflow. Plus, you know anything by Jeff Starr is going to be good!


A must-have for full WP functionality

Disable Gutenberg Block Editor and restore the Classic Editor and original Edit Post screen (TinyMCE, meta boxes, etc.).
