WP Gatsby Markdown Exporter

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   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.

   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!
