Description

Worddown is a powerful WordPress plugin that enables you to export your pages and posts to markdown files, making them perfect for integration with AI chatbots and other markdown-based systems.

Key Features

  • Export pages and posts to markdown files
  • Support for custom page builders (ACF Flexible Content, Elementor, etc.)
  • REST API endpoints for programmatic access
  • WP-CLI commands for automation
  • Multilingual support
  • Background export mode for large sites
  • Customizable HTML content filters

Export Methods

  1. WordPress Admin Dashboard
  2. WP-CLI Commands
  3. REST API Endpoints

WP-CLI Support

Export your content directly from the command line:

wp worddown export

For large sites, use background mode:

wp worddown export --background

REST API

Access export functionality programmatically through REST API endpoints:

  • GET /wp-json/worddown/v1/files – List all exported markdown files
  • GET /wp-json/worddown/v1/files/{post_id} – Get specific file content
  • POST /wp-json/worddown/v1/export – Trigger export

Custom HTML Content Filters

Customize your markdown output using WordPress filters:

add_filter('worddown_custom_html_content', function($content, $post_id, $post_type) {
    if ($post_type === 'page') {
        $content .= '
My custom HTML for page ' . $post_id . '
'; } return $content; }, 10, 3);

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this with my custom page builder?

Yes! Worddown provides filters that allow you to inject custom HTML content from any page builder before the markdown conversion process.

Does it support multisite?

Yes, Worddown works with WordPress multisite installations. You can use the –url parameter with WP-CLI commands to target specific subsites.

How do I handle large exports?

For large sites, we recommend using either the background mode via WP-CLI (wp worddown export --background) or the REST API with the background parameter enabled.
