Out of the box, Jetpack’s Markdown Module does not add support for custom post types. This plugin fixes that by adding support for this module to public custom post types that support the editor.

The plugin creates zip files containing posts converted to Markdown. A WP-CLI command exists to handle exporting sites with a large amount of content.
<ul>
<li>Move WordPress content to Gatsby-friendly Markdown.</li>
<li>Customize the export! Remap and restructure exported fields.</li>
<li>CLI: Avoid PHP timeouts by using the command line with WP-CLI.</li>
<li>CLI: Export progress bar (great for large sites)!</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
Reminder: always keep a backup of the WordPress database and files in case your export doesn’t work as expected!

<h3>Working with Gatsby</h3>
If you’re just getting started with Gatsby, we recommend experimenting with a Markdown based Gatsby starter like <a href="https://github.com/tinacms/tina-starter-grande" rel="nofollow ugc">Tina Grande</a>. Installation is as easy as:
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/tinacms/tina-starter-grande.git

cd tina-starter-grande

yarn install && gatsby develop
</code></pre>
Then copy your exported WordPress Markdown into the <code>content</code> directory or point the wp gatsby-markdown-export command at the content directory.
Want to port your WordPress or HTML theme to Gatsby? Checkout <a href="https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/porting-an-html-site-to-gatsby/" rel="nofollow ugc">Porting an HTML Site to Gatsby</a> for tips.
<h3>Command Line Usage</h3>
The command line functionality uses WP-CLI to interact with WordPress. <a href="https://wp-cli.org/#installing" rel="nofollow ugc">WP-CLI is easy to install</a> if you haven’t already.
Once it’s installed, you can export content to a directory like this:
<pre><code>wp gatsby-markdown-export --directory=/example/gatsby-starter/src/content
</code></pre>
All CLI arguments are optional.
