Static Site Exporter

One-click WordPress plugin that converts all posts, pages, taxonomies, metadata, and settings to Markdown and YAML which can be dropped into Jekyll (or Hugo or any other Markdown and YAML based site engine).

View plugin in the WordPress plugin directory.

Features

• Converts all posts, pages, and settings from WordPress to Markdown and YAML for use in Jekyll (or Hugo or any other Markdown and YAML based site engine)
• 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
• 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
• Selective export: Export only specific categories, tags, or post types using WP-CLI
• 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
