MarkItUp (beta) allows for you to use Markdown on your WordPress site.
It does this on a per-author basis and per-post. This means that you shouldn’t be accidently converting other people’s posts/pages into Markdown by accident!
Currently this wears the beta label because it could have little bumps which aren’t smoothed out just yet.

MarkItUp!

MarkitUp (beta) is a wordpress plugin which allows you to use Markdown on your site without breaking existing content

Pierre-Henri Lavigne

This plugin replaces the Gutenberg block editor (or the classic TinyMCE) on the edit screen with <a href="https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor" rel="nofollow ugc">EasyMDE</a>, a markdown editor based on CodeMirror, fine-tuned to work smoothly with the WordPress admin panels.
The content is saved with the markdown syntax in the database and is rendered on the frontend thanks to the <a href="https://parsedown.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Parsedown</a> PHP library after being sanitized via WordPress native filters.
That’s pretty all you should know. It’s under active development, keep in touch and feel free <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/markup-markdown/" rel="ugc">to drop a line on the forum</a>, <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/markup-markdown/reviews/" rel="ugc">to let a rating</a> or even support me by buying a coffee !

Markup Markdown


Just a fact: all the main AI GPTs generate Markdown by default. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I LOVE this plugin, as I can now create AI style websites on the WordPress platform. If you notice: all the main commercial AI sites have a similar "A.I. Style". Which is - dark or light mode, a chat box, and the most important thing: Markdown. Anyway, I'm using this plugin. Great stuff!



My one nitpick - The plugin generates configuration files in wp-content. This is bad news and there is no reason for it. On many sites wp-content is publicly exposed to the internet. Anyway, this data should be move to site options in the database.

Disable Wordpress's native Gutenberg or TinyMCE editor in favor of a Markdown editor.
