  • Did the trick for me in WP 6.0.2

    I decided to take a chance on this plugin because I desperately needed to convert some files to Markdown so I could bring them into in my Obsidian vault. I backed myself into this nasty little corner by experimenting with Journey.cloud for a few months. I misread their documentation to indicate that it would be simple to export my content, but IT WAS NOT. I did not want to use any of the half-baked command line scripts floating around on GitHub for Journey to .md because I read comments and issue reports and I simply did not have time to deal with all the layers of stuff that I invariably run into. I finally decided to publish each of my notes as a draft to my own WordPress site manually. (I did this one at a time...there were only 60 of them or I might have chosen the command line option instead.) Then I used this plugin to export them in Markdown format, so I could add them to my Obsidian vault. This is not a fancy plugin and I had some manual cleanup to do, but that was a small price to pay. This won't continue working forever if no one is maintaining it, but it did what I needed it to do in WP 6.0.2.

  • Works great!

    Just what I needed -- to export all my posts and pages in a readable format! The formatting conversion is beautiful -- straight to markdown! Each page and post is its own file. Just great!
