The UMD Pro plugin and developer support are great!

This review is for the UMD Pro paid version. I previously had good success with the free version and decided to tryout the personal paid version (for 1 site).

I am a retired Linux software developer who is learning how to develop websites (just for fun). So I am not the expert, but I can share my experience with the plugin.

I am currently using a static site generator that uses Markdown for its content. I really like creating/updating my content on my Mac, using the bbedit app. Coming from the Linux world, I also use vi a lot. WordPress offers a lot of interesting capabilities that I want to try out, but I must be able to edit my content offline, using Markdown.

I have research and tried several options for using Markdown with WordPress. So far, the UMD Pro plugin has proved to be the best option for me. The plugin support is excellent! As a former developer, I really appreciate the support. I always receive a quick, detailed response to my questions or comments.

The plugin feature that I use the most is the post/page sidebar Markdown import. I have been able to import my posts perfectly, after setting the Front Matter to match the UMD Pro front matter requirements.

I am currently using my staging site to port my current static website to WordPress. I am also learning how to use WordPress. The UMD Pro Markdown plugin is saving me a lot of time. And it’s enabling me to create/edit my content on my Mac.
