WP To Markdown
==============

[](#wp-to-markdown)

Convert WordPress posts to markdown files, in a format and folder structure friendly to my `tjm/wiki.php` project. Puts various values in "front-matter" (YAML at top of markdown file). Prefers `post_content_filtered` field for post content, which is used by JetPack markdown plugin, which I use for my newer posts. Still has problems converting certain post content: Check the results before using on a live site. Can be run repeatedly, will only update files if content has changed. Does not remove posts removed in WordPress.

In addition to posts, also copies media, categories, tags as CSV list, and comments as markdown in a certain structure. I copy the data that I think may be useful for me in a markdown processor version of the WordPress site in question. You'll have to modify the code if you want anything else.

To run, install package, run `composer install`, then run `bin/run` at the command line. You must either pass the non-empty values for these arguments:

1. output destination path
2. database DSN for PDO (see PDO docs if needed)
3. database user
4. database password
5. database table prefix
6. ssh id (user@server) if on a remote system

or, better, modify the `bin/run` file to add those values.

Can also be used in PHP code with `(new TJM\WPToMarkdown($opts))()`. See `src/WPToMarkdown.php` for options.
