AI assistants, LLMs and automation tools choke on theme markup, scripts and tracking code. Add .md to any permalink and they get the content — structured, readable, machine-friendly.

“The article is 800 words. The page is 400 KB — nav menus, three sliders, a cookie banner, two trackers and a theme framework. Somewhere in there is the content we wanted the AI to read.”— every system that ever tried to parse a WordPress page
Modern websites serve more than browsers. WP Markdown Endpoint gives the machines a version built for them.
Activate, save permalinks once, done. Every published post and page now answers on its normal URL plus .md — same permalink structure, same hierarchy, no duplicate files to generate or maintain.
/news/company-update/ becomes /news/company-update.md. Works with your existing permalink structure, including hierarchical pages and category-based permalinks. Correct HTTP headers — text/markdown, a canonical link back to the page, proper 404s.
Content runs through the normal WordPress filters — blocks and shortcodes render first — then converts to Markdown: headings, formatting, links, images, lists, blockquotes, inline code and fenced code blocks with the language preserved. Scripts, styles and comments are stripped.
Title, publication date, author, categories, tags and the original URL — every line individually toggleable from a settings screen with a live preview. Override the author with a house byline across every document if you prefer.
Drafts, pending, private and password-protected content answer 404, always. The endpoint serves exactly what your site already shows the public — nothing more.
Custom post types, per-post disable, YAML front matter, excerpt and featured-image metadata, Markdown tables, an automatic cache, a /markdown-sitemap.md index and an llms.txt manifest that hand crawlers and AI agents your whole library in one file.
Give assistants and language models content they can actually parse, quote and cite — without burning tokens on your theme's div soup.
Publishing platforms, internal systems and automation tools retrieve structured article content from a predictable URL.
External applications get a stable Markdown endpoint on the existing permalink — no REST wrangling, no HTML parsing, no API keys.
Technical guides and knowledge bases become developer-friendly Markdown — code blocks intact, language hints preserved.
Enable Markdown access across client sites in minutes — no separate content files to create or keep in sync.
Simplified text representations that external systems can index, analyse and store — generated fresh on every request.
The page's own permalink plus .md — nothing to configure per post, nothing to remember. The whole site follows one rule.
Date, author, categories, tags — each line toggleable, the author overridable. Pro adds YAML front matter above it for pipeline tooling.
Headings, emphasis, links, lists, quotes and code — the article's structure in portable Markdown, with the theme's wrapping stripped away.
Every document links back to the original URL, and the HTTP response carries a canonical Link header — machines always know where the source lives.
The usual options: let machines parse your rendered HTML, hand-maintain exported .md files, or point integrators at the REST API. Here's what changes.
| WP Markdown Endpoint (us) | Raw HTML / DIY exports | |
|---|---|---|
| Machine-readable content | ✓ Clean Markdown | ✗ Theme markup + trackers |
| Works on existing permalinks | ✓ Just add .md | ✗ Separate files or endpoints |
| Always current | ✓ Generated on request | ✗ Stale the day after export |
| Drafts & private protected | ✓ 404, always | ◐ Depends who exported |
| Code blocks survive | ✓ Fenced, language kept | ✗ Mangled or lost |
| Setup time | ✓ Minutes | ✗ Ongoing maintenance |
| Index for crawlers | ✓ llms.txt + markdown-sitemap.md (Pro) | ✗ None |

The plugin registers a rewrite rule that recognises URLs ending in .md. When one is requested, it resolves the path to the right post through your existing permalink structure, runs the content through the normal WordPress filters (blocks and shortcodes included), converts the resulting HTML to Markdown and serves it with the text/markdown content type. Nothing is written to disk — documents are generated on request.
The title, then metadata lines — publication date, author, categories, tags — then the converted body (headings, paragraphs, bold and italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code and fenced code blocks with the language preserved), and a link back to the original page. Every metadata line is individually toggleable, and the author name can be overridden with a house byline.
No. Only published, public content is served. Drafts, pending, private and password-protected posts answer with a standard HTTP 404 — the endpoint never reveals whether restricted content exists.
A WordPress page arrives wrapped in navigation, theme markup, scripts, styling and tracking — most of it irrelevant to a system trying to read the article. Clean Markdown is the format AI assistants and LLMs parse best: the structure survives, the noise is gone, and it costs a fraction of the tokens.
Custom post types, per-post disable controls, YAML front matter for static-site and pipeline tooling, excerpt and featured-image metadata, HTML-table-to-Markdown conversion, an automatic output cache, a /markdown-sitemap.md index of every document, an llms.txt manifest for AI crawlers, and the option to remove the "Created by" credit line. If you also run our WP AI Visibility plugin, its llms.txt manager and the endpoint coexist cleanly — one switch decides who serves the file.
No. Documents are generated only when a .md URL is requested — normal visitors never trigger the converter. Pro adds a cache on top, invalidated automatically when the post or your settings change.
Visit Settings → Permalinks and press Save once. That refreshes the WordPress rewrite rules, which the endpoint needs. It requires a pretty-permalink structure (almost every site already has one).
