Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Serve Markdown

The plugin works out of the box with sensible defaults: posts and pages are served as Markdown with all metadata fields enabled and crawler logging turned on. Visit Settings > Serve Markdown to customize.

No. Markdown is generated on demand only when explicitly requested. Normal page loads are completely unaffected, and the crawler log insert adds negligible latency — or disable logging entirely from settings.

Yes. Any public post type registered on your site will appear as a checkbox on the General settings tab.

Yes, in two ways. You can check "Disable Markdown for this post" in the editor sidebar for individual posts. You can also exclude entire categories or tags from the Exclusions settings tab.

By default: URL, title, author name and URL, publish date, last modified date, post type, excerpt, categories, tags, featured image URL, and published status. Each field can be toggled off individually. You can also add custom static fields and map WordPress custom fields.

Yes. Serve Markdown sets the DONOTCACHEPAGE constant when serving Markdown responses, which is respected by WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and most other caching plugins.

Yes. The plugin uses WPINC for environment detection instead of ABSPATH, making it compatible with WordPress.com Business plans, WordPress VIP, Pantheon, and other managed hosting platforms.
