WordPress to Jekyll Exporter

One-click WordPress plugin that converts all posts, pages, taxonomies, metadata, and settings to Markdown and YAML which can be dropped into Jekyll.

View plugin in the WordPress plugin directory.

Features

• Converts all posts, pages, and settings from WordPress for use in Jekyll
• Export what your users see, not what the database stores (runs post content through the_content filter prior to export, allowing third-party plugins to modify the output)
• Converts all post_content to Markdown Extra (using Markdownify)
• Converts all post_meta and fields within the wp_posts table to YAML front matter for parsing by Jekyll
• Generates a _config.yml with all settings in the wp_options table
• Outputs a single zip file with _config.yml, pages, and _posts folder containing .md files for each post in the proper Jekyll naming convention
• No settings. Just a single click.

Usage

1. Place plugin in /wp-content/plugins/ folder
2. Activate plugin in WordPress dashboard
3. Select Export to Jekyll from the Tools menu
