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.


AI responds in Markdown

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

At the begining, Ghost was supposed to be a fork of WordPress. Then there was a talk of a plugin, that would give a next-generation admin panel for WordPress. But in the process it became a new blogging platform, built on Node.js. This plugin is an attempt to bring the nice and clean admin panel of Ghost back to the WordPress ecosystem.
Current features:
<ul>
<li>NEW PHP 5.2 Compatability</li>
<li>NEW Autosave support</li>
<li>NEW Featured image (post-thumbnail) support</li>
<li>NEW Custom fields (post-meta) support</li>
<li>NEW Experimental custom post types support (have to be enabled via Options page)</li>
<li>NEW Add new category dialog</li>
<li>NEW Tighter integration with WordPress (Admin Bar links, Edit links, etc.)</li>
<li>Posts/Pages Markdown editor</li>
<li>Media upload integration</li>
<li>Post tags support</li>
<li>Post category support</li>
<li>Post scheduling support</li>
</ul>

Gust

The best markdown editing experience in WordPress to date. As already mentioned having media support would put the icing on the cake. Echoing everyone else I do hope you continue developing the plugin.



Great implimentation, love the plugin

Gust is a port of Ghost admin panel for WordPress.
