## Description
AISignal Markdown Converter is a lightweight WordPress plugin that exposes eligible
published content as Markdown while staying close to normal WordPress routing and
output behavior.
Features include:
* `?format=markdown` support for singular content and the homepage
* `.md` URL handling
* `Accept: text/markdown` negotiation
* REST endpoints for Markdown retrieval by post ID or slug path
* rendered HTML capture, extraction, normalization, and Markdown conversion
* ACF-aware fallback extraction for content stored outside the main editor
* compatible with many builder-based pages when important content is server-rendered
* alternate Markdown discovery through a head link and `Link` response header
* optional YAML frontmatter for Markdown documents
* post type controls and exclusion controls for Markdown availability
* optional crawler insights with bot detection, request logging, request summary
charts, retention, and filtering
### Privacy Policy
Crawler insights stores request metadata for detected bot traffic to successful
Markdown responses. It does not store IP addresses, cookies, request bodies, or
raw user-agent strings.
## Installation
1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
3. Go to `Settings > AISignal Markdown Converter`.
4. Choose which public post types should expose Markdown.
5. Optionally enable YAML frontmatter and crawler insights.
## FAQ
### Which URLs are supported?
You can access Markdown through `?format=markdown`, `.md` URLs, `Accept: text/markdown`,
and the provided REST endpoints.
### Which content gets Markdown output?
Markdown is available only for published content in the post types you enable in
plugin settings. You can also exclude specific items globally by post ID or individually
through the editor metabox.
### Does it work with ACF?
Yes. The plugin includes an ACF-aware fallback extractor for eligible published
content, which helps recover meaningful Markdown when important content is stored
in custom fields instead of the main editor. It is not a field-by-field ACF integration
layer, but it is designed to improve Markdown output on ACF-heavy sites.
### Does it work with page builders like Elementor, Divi, or Beaver Builder?
Often yes. The plugin is designed to work with standard WordPress rendering, including
many builder-based pages, when the important content is present in rendered HTML
or `the_content`. Highly dynamic or JavaScript-rendered sections may be incomplete,
so representative builder pages should still be tested on each site.
### Does the plugin add Markdown discovery signals?
Yes. Eligible singular requests and the homepage expose alternate Markdown discovery
through:
* ``
* `Link: <...>; rel="alternate"; type="text/markdown"`
### Is YAML frontmatter required?
No. Frontmatter is optional and disabled by default.
### What does YAML frontmatter include?
When enabled, frontmatter includes fields such as title, URL, post type, published
and modified dates, schema type, language, word count, reading time, canonical URL,
featured image, and public taxonomy names. It does not include author or publisher
fields.
### What does crawler insights log?
Crawler insights logs successful Markdown requests from detected bots when the feature
is enabled. The admin screen includes request summary charts, retained request totals,
bot filtering, timestamps, URLs, bot names, request methods, and retention controls.
## Reviews
### [Works as promised. Great stats!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-promised-great-stats/)
[Simon Dickson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/s1m0nd/) Me 6, 2026
It just works. Posts are instantly available with .md URLs. Easy to control which
posts and post types get markdown. Copes well with ACF. I’m finding the ‘Crawler
Insights’ especially interesting. Not only does it confirm that the plugin is doing
its job, it confirms just how much of your site traffic is coming from AI bots –
something which my existing statistics solution isn’t yet doing.

Clean, well-structured plugin that exposes WordPress content as Markdown via .md
URLs, query params, and REST
