Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DocxToPost – Import Word (DOCX) & Markdown to Posts, Pages & Custom Post Types

All registered public post types on your site. Posts, Pages, and any Custom Post Type. You can only create the types your user role already allows.

Yes. Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript, bulleted and numbered lists (including nested levels), tables with header rows, blockquotes, paragraph alignment, and hyperlinks all carry over.

The free plugin reads every word in a document built from text boxes, which newsletters, brochures and flyers are, and gives you that text as ordinary formatted content in one column. It does not reproduce the page: the columns, the coloured panels behind them and the photographs they sit on are not rebuilt. Keeping those is what layout-preserving import in DocxToWP Pro does. It reads where each text box sits on the page, infers the rows, columns and background panels from the geometry, and rebuilds the design as a responsive layout that stacks on a phone. It aims at a faithful web layout, not a pixel-for-pixel copy of a printed page.

Yes. Upload a .md or .markdown file the same way you would a .docx. Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, nested lists, blockquotes, tables, horizontal rules and fenced code blocks are all supported, code blocks become real Code blocks in the editor. The first # Heading becomes the post title; if there is none, the filename is used. Front matter (the --- block some tools put at the top) is removed rather than shown in the post. Its title: is used as the post title; other keys such as slug, categories and dates are not read. Images with a full https:// URL are kept as external images. Images with a relative path like images/photo.jpg cannot be resolved from a single uploaded file, so they are left out and the preview screen tells you which ones, upload them to the Media Library and add them in the editor.

Yes. Open the Google Docs link tab on the upload screen and paste the link to the document. It has to be shared as "Anyone with the link" (view access is enough), because the plugin downloads it the way a browser with the link would. In DocxToWP Pro you can also choose private documents straight from Google Drive, several at once, with no sharing needed.

The free plugin imports one file at a time, with no limit on how many. DocxToWP Pro imports up to 100 .docx and .md files in one run, with a review step before anything is created and one-click undo of the whole batch.

Pro starts at $49/year for one site, with plans for more sites at docxtowp.com/pricing. It is a separate plugin: buy it, install the Pro .zip, deactivate this plugin, then enter your licence key under DocxToWP Pro → Licence. Your imported posts are ordinary WordPress posts and are not affected.

Save or export it as a .md file and upload that. All three produce standard Markdown, which is what the importer reads. Notion's export puts images in a folder next to the file, see the previous answer for how those are handled.

Yes. The confirmation screen has a "Move it to the trash" link, and the post stays recoverable from the Trash afterwards.

Go to Tools → Site Health → Status. DocxToPost adds a check there that reports the three usual causes: a missing PHP extension, an upload directory that is not writable, or a file size limit set higher than the server will actually accept.
