jekyll-exporter

Markdown export is not really Markdown…

Worked without issue on a WordPress site on shared hosting. Much quicker than using the Jekyll importer.

If you have a not so small WordPress site, it is very likely you won’t have any success using this plugin within the WordPress interface, as I can read in the reviews and support messages. But the plugin offer a command line interface that does not have the timeout of the web version. Go inside the plugin folder and run the cli version : php jekyll-export-cli.php > jekyll-export.zip The GitHub does provide more information (WordPress forbid to include the link, but the project name seems to be benbalter/wordpress-to-jekyll-exporter) Not doing miracles with plugins, you will have some rework, but definitely working and very useful!

I wasn’t expecting much because of the previous reviews indicating this was broken, but having just used it on an (admittedly somewhat small) WP site, I can confirm that it now works. Even with only a couple dozen posts and some pictures, it took a few minutes, so give it time, but the result was exactly as advertised: a .zip file containing all posts as Jekyll-formatted .md files, and the WP uploads directory with all the images. Thanks!

It does not work anymore. I suppose it was good while it worked but I will never know.

Sad because I’d really like to export my posts but doesn’t work.
