Worddown

Export WordPress pages and posts to markdown files for AI chatbots with support for custom page builders and multilingual content.

Pavel Sherer

<p><strong>Simple Export to Markdown</strong> adds a small, useful panel inside the WordPress block editor.<br />
With a single click, you can export the current post or page to Markdown — either download a <code>.md</code> file or copy it directly to the clipboard.</p>
<p>The plugin uses the <a href="https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown" rel="nofollow ugc">Turndown</a> library to accurately convert Gutenberg blocks into Markdown syntax, preserving headings, paragraphs, images, lists, quotes, and other standard content.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Export any Gutenberg post or page directly to Markdown.</li>
<li>Two modes: <strong>Download .md</strong> or <strong>Copy to Clipboard</strong>.</li>
<li>Auto-generated YAML front matter (<code>title</code>, <code>slug</code>, <code>date</code>, <code>categories</code>, <code>tags</code>).</li>
<li>Works natively inside the block editor — no admin pages or complex settings.</li>
<li>Lightweight (under 14 KB of JS), no tracking, no external API calls.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or newer.</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or newer.</li>
<li>Active Gutenberg (block) editor.</li>
</ul>
<h3>License</h3>
<p>This plugin is open-source software licensed under the GPLv2 (or later).<br />
