Why this matters

Move clean copy into WordPress

Copying between editors can add messy styles and wrappers. Clean semantic HTML is easier to review and paste into the WordPress code editor.

Guide

Move Markdown into WordPress cleanly

Keep the useful document structure

The converter supports common Markdown and GitHub-style tables, task lists, strikethrough, links, blockquotes, and fenced code. It creates semantic HTML rather than copying editor styles.

The converter removes scripts, editor-only wrappers, inline event handlers, and unsupported styling. The result keeps semantic post elements such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes, tables, and code when the source provides them.

Know what this converter keeps

Relative image paths point to files that WordPress cannot see until you upload them. Raw scripts, iframes, event handlers, and unsafe markup are removed.

This tool does not connect to your WordPress account or publish anything. It creates a clean starting point, and you stay responsible for the final title, images, links, accessibility, and layout.

Paste clean HTML into WordPress

Open a new WordPress post and switch the editor from Visual to Code. Paste the copied HTML, return to the visual editor, and check the headings, lists, links, tables, and code blocks.

Body content only is checked by default because WordPress already supplies the post wrapper. Uncheck it only when you need a complete article element for another workflow.

Questions

Questions about moving Markdown into WordPress

Where do I paste the HTML?

Open the WordPress post editor, choose the Code editor from the editor options, and paste the copied HTML. Return to the visual editor to review it.

Does this publish my WordPress post?

No. The tool does not ask for WordPress credentials or change your website. It only creates HTML you can copy or download.

Does the converter copy every image?

No. Remote image URLs may remain when the source provides them, but local and embedded images are not uploaded to WordPress. Add those images in WordPress before publishing.

Will every layout stay the same?

No. The converter keeps useful document structure rather than page layout or editor styling. Review columns, callouts, embeds, and complex tables after pasting.

Is my document stored anywhere?

Uploaded files and pasted text are converted in your browser. Public document links are fetched only when you ask the tool to convert them.

Why is body content checked?

WordPress already wraps the content area for a post. Body content only leaves off an extra article element so you can paste just the post content.
