What content types can I export?
You can export posts, pages, and media attachments. The plugin includes flexible filtering options to select specific content types for export.
What Markdown flavor does this plugin use?
The plugin exports to CommonMark format, which is widely compatible with most Markdown processors.
Are images included in the export?
Yes! Version 0.5.0 includes comprehensive media export. You can choose to bundle featured images, inline images, galleries, and attachments. Images are automatically downloaded, deduplicated, and organized in a media/ folder with relative path references in your Markdown files.
Can I export my entire site at once?
Yes! You can export all content at once, or use the content filter system to narrow down your export to specific post types. The plugin exports everything (including media) to a convenient ZIP archive with organized folders.
Can I optimize images during export?
Absolutely! Version 0.5.0 includes optional image optimization. You can choose to resize images to specific dimensions and apply compression. You can also select which WordPress image size to export (thumbnail, medium, large, or full).
What does the exported ZIP contain?
The ZIP archive includes:
* Markdown files with YAML frontmatter
* media/ folder with organized images (featured/, inline/, attachments/)
* media-manifest.json with complete inventory
* media-inventory.csv for human-readable reference
* README.txt with export details and media statistics
* media-errors.log (only if downloads failed)
