Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/0gis0/markdown-view-for-agents/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Latest release Download ZIP CI WordPress 5.0+ PHP 7.4+ License GPL-2.0+

Turn WordPress posts and pages into clean Markdown for AI agents, automation tools, and humans. Add ?format=markdown to any singular post or page URL and the plugin returns a Markdown response with YAML frontmatter and Markdown-friendly content.

[!TIP] Want the fastest install path? Download the latest plugin package here: returngis-markdown-view-for-ai-agents.zip

This README is the GitHub landing page for releases, development, and creator links. The WordPress.org-specific plugin description stays in readme.txt.

Why use it?

  • Exposes published posts and pages as text/markdown
  • Adds a visible "View as Markdown" button on the front end
  • Includes YAML frontmatter with title, author, date, taxonomy terms, and canonical URL
  • Converts headings, lists, links, images, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables into Markdown-friendly output
  • Caches generated output with WordPress transients for faster repeated requests
  • Keeps your normal theme rendering unchanged outside the optional Markdown endpoint

Install from GitHub release

This is the recommended path if you just want to use the plugin in WordPress.

  1. Download the latest release asset: returngis-markdown-view-for-ai-agents.zip
  2. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin.
  3. Upload the ZIP file and activate the plugin.
  4. Open any published post or page and click "View as Markdown", or append ?format=markdown to the URL.

Install from source

This path is better if you want to inspect, modify, or contribute to the project.

cd wp-content/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/0GiS0/markdown-view-for-agents.git
cd markdown-view-for-agents
composer install

Then activate the plugin from the WordPress admin panel.

If you want the packaged ZIP locally, run:

chmod +x package-plugin.sh
./package-plugin.sh

That creates dist/returngis-markdown-view-for-ai-agents.zip.

Usage

In the browser

Visit any published post or page and use the "View as Markdown" button injected by the plugin.

For agents and automation

Append ?format=markdown to any supported URL:

https://yourblog.com/my-awesome-post/?format=markdown

The response is served as text/markdown; charset=utf-8 and includes YAML frontmatter.
