Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Markup Markdown
The same as usual: Just download and upload the zip file to your wordpress instance. Or install directly by simply searching from the WP plugin panel. Activate the extension. All done! That's all you should do.
Yes but you can't use both at the same time ;-) Data are saved as pure markdown code in the database, for the other builders on the market data are saved as HTML or custom markups like shortcodes. Currently data are still saved but won't be converted or rendered correctly if you revert back or switch between editors.
Yes, please keep in mind it's a global switch for every user. You need to stick to one editor with one post type. Any block editor will be disabled for all the users of your Wordpress instance. filters are available to disable the markdown editor for specific custom post types at a global level. For example you can do a setup to use Divi or Elementor to edit your pages and Markdown to edit your blog'posts. Please refer to the forum to know how to do it.
Sure, developers & designers can access the public properties & methods of the instance inside their templates through the global mmd function. For example let's say you want to use it with a custom field called 'foo_bar'. You can use something like that: <?php echo mmd()->markdown2html( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'foo_bar' , true ) ); ?> Disclaimer: with the plugin Advanced Custom Field (ACF), HTML content has been sanitized since v6.2.5. If you need to render iframes or others elements, instead of using: <?php the_field( 'my_custom_field' ); ?> use <?php echo mmd()->markdown2html( get_field( 'my_custom_field' ) ); ?>
The default editor is based on EasyMDE so you can write in markdown and use Wordpress feature at the same time. The side panel preview mode has been fixed since 3.0. The beta interface is based on SummerNote, a jQuery WYSIWYG Engine. The beta interface has been removed since 3.0 and will be available as a separate addon. It's a custom version so you can get a live rendering when typing your content or adding medias. It's not perfect, it's still working well but for now you will have to modify the code on your own (builder or database) if something goes wrong. To find out more check my article here: https://www.markup-markdown.com/blog/wordpress-plugins/dynamic-input-method-markdown/ Accessibility The current version is based on components that are not compatible with assistive devices like screen readers. Several available alternative plugins could cover the gap while I'm working on a new interface. Thank you for your patience and your understanding.
