Description
Seory Posts to Markdown converts your site content into clean Markdown files and bundles them into a single ZIP archive — ready to hand to AI tools, static site generators, or any Markdown-based workflow.
Everything runs on your server. No data is sent to external services, no API keys, no accounts.
Features
- Export posts, pages, and public custom post types in one click

the_contentfilters applied) - Per-post-type taxonomy filters (categories, custom taxonomies) plus a global date range; optionally include drafts
- Flexible output layout: flat files (
slug.md), per-post folders (slug/index.md), date prefixes (2024-01-15-slug.md), and year / year-month folders - Optional
index.mdtable of contents — a convenient entry point when handing the archive to AI tools - GFM tables, fenced code blocks, ATX headings
- Batch processing keeps large sites within PHP time limits

FAQ
-
Is my content sent anywhere?
-
No. Conversion runs entirely on your own server, and the generated ZIP is deleted right after download.
-
What is the difference between the two content modes?
-
Raw editor content converts the stored post content as-is: shortcodes stay unexpanded and block markup comments are removed. Rendered content applies the
the_contentfilters first, so shortcodes and blocks are expanded to their final HTML before conversion. -
Which user roles can use it?
-
Users with the
exportcapability (administrators by default). -
Are custom post types supported?
-
Yes — all public custom post types appear in the post type list.
-
Can I customize the front matter?
-
Yes. Developers can add, remove, or reorder keys with the
seoryco_wpmd_frontmatterfilter:add_filter( 'seoryco_wpmd_frontmatter', function ( $pairs, $post ) { $pairs['subtitle'] = '"' . get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'subtitle', true ) . '"'; return $pairs; }, 10, 2 );Values must be YAML-formatted; keys with an empty-string value are omitted.
