WordPress Markdown .MD file importer PLUGIN, PHP or BASH Text me "I LOVE BASH" so that I know you wrote this text. Looking forward meeting you and going into an LONG TERM PROJECT. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Freelancers AI stuff: I need a straightforward way to feed a collection of plain-text *.md files into WordPress and have each file appear as a published post without me touching the editor. A lightweight plugin (preferred) or a clean PHP/Bash script is fine as long as it drops seamlessly into an existing WordPress stack. Core expectations • Read local Markdown files and create posts automatically. • Respect the file’s front-matter (title, date, slug) when it exists; fall back to sensible defaults when it doesn’t. • Convert Markdown to HTML using a reliable parser so headings, code blocks, tables, and images remain intact. • Place the content in the standard “post” type; if it’s simpler for you to wire it into a custom post type, let me know—I’m flexible. Workflows I will consider – Direct upload inside the admin area. – Pointing the plugin at a server directory and running on a schedule or cron. – Pulling from a remote URL or Git-tracked folder. Tell me which path you’d like to implement and why; I only need one workflow done well, but if your solution lends itself to more, that’s a plus. Nice-to-have touches (not mandatory, quote separately if they add real effort) • Category or tag mapping via filename or front-matter. • Optional error log I can read in wp-admin. • A simple settings page to toggle the import interval or parser options. Deliverable A working, documented plugin (or script) I can drop into production, along with brief setup instructions and any composer/npm requirements.

Good to see this project, I will build a lightweight WordPress plugin that parses .md files — front-matter extraction for title, date, slug, and tags — and converts them to published posts using a reliable Markdown-to-HTML parser like Parsedown. Images, code blocks, and tables will render correctly. I will implement a wp-admin upload interface plus a server directory scan triggered via WP-Cron, so you get both manual and scheduled imports from one clean codebase. Questions: 1) Do your .md files use YAML or TOML front-matter? 2) Should duplicate slugs skip or update the existing post? Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Kamran

Hi there, I’ve developed multiple WordPress plugins that import Markdown files and convert them into fully formatted posts. One of my plugins, called WP Markdown Converter, allows users to upload Markdown files and convert them into WordPress posts, with the option to extract front-matter data for titles, slugs, and publish dates. For your project, I suggest using a custom post type for better organization, while still allowing you to use standard post types. We can also implement a cron job to automatically import files from a specific directory, ensuring that the process is fully automated. Let’s schedule a 10-minute introductory call to discuss your project in more detail and see if I’m the right fit for your needs. Best, Adil

Hi There, This is a clean WordPress automation job, not a “content import” mess, and I’d build it as a lightweight plugin pointing to a server directory with optional WP-Cron/manual run because that is the most production-safe, editor-free workflow for recurring Markdown imports. I can make it read .md files, parse front matter for title, date, and slug, apply smart fallbacks when missing, convert Markdown through a reliable parser like league/commonmark, and publish directly into standard WordPress posts while preserving headings, tables, code blocks, and image references properly. I’d also structure it so duplicate imports are avoided, setup stays simple, and the plugin can be dropped into an existing stack without forcing a custom workflow on you. If needed, I can separately add tag/category mapping, an admin-readable import log, and a small settings screen for interval/parser controls. The only thing I’d want to confirm before locking the import logic is this: should an updated .md file overwrite the existing post on the next run, or should imports be strictly one-time publish actions? best regards Waqas A.
