Title: Parsedown for WordPress Author: rob1n Published: مارچ 1, 2015 Last modified: اپریل 24, 2015 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/parsedown-wp.svg) # Parsedown for WordPress By [rob1n](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rob1n/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/parsedown-wp.0.3.zip) * [Details](https://bcc.wordpress.org/plugins/parsedown-wp/#description) * [Reviews](https://bcc.wordpress.org/plugins/parsedown-wp/#reviews) * [Installation](https://bcc.wordpress.org/plugins/parsedown-wp/#installation) * [Development](https://bcc.wordpress.org/plugins/parsedown-wp/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/parsedown-wp/) ## Description **Got a bug report or want to contribute?** Please do so on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/robinadr/parsedown-wp/issues) or [submit a pull request](https://github.com/robinadr/parsedown-wp/pulls). [Parsedown](http://parsedown.org) is an efficient, modern PHP implementation of the [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) syntax originally developed by John Gruber. This plugin runs your posts and comments through the [Parsedown Extra](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown-extra) version, which has additional features that are part of the [Markdown Extra](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/) extension by Michel Fortin. Michel wrote the [original Markdown plugin for WordPress](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/classic/), and this aims to be a 100% compatible drop-in replacement for that. Michel’s original plugin is no longer supported as of February 1, 2014. So **why Parsedown?** It’s [faster](http://parsedown.org/speed), [more consistent](http://parsedown.org/consistency) and is being [actively developed](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown). Development of this WordPress plugin [takes place over on GitHub](https://github.com/robinadr/parsedown-wp). If you have any support requests, I do monitor the support forums on here, or you can [contact me directly](http://robinadr.com/contact). ## Installation 1. Upload the `parsedown-wp` folder to the `wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in the WordPress admin That’s it. All your posts and comments are now being processed by Parsedown. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fcaa91740ecb07b2653eb28d0d22a53d7880f16d30e2802e6dc1de8c83fca61f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great with Prisimjs!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-with-prisimjs/)󠁿 [Mizner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mizner/) اپریل 30, 2017 Had a problem finding a turn key WordPress solution for Markdown that left my html alone. Specifically my inline code examples that were being highlighted by Prisim JS. This worked perfectly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ecf10436852bcd02f3812c5a71f2e67d7d7ec5def5210c9bfff6d35ae73c1162? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Love this plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-this-plugin-405/)󠁿 [WebSight Designs](https://profiles.wordpress.org/websightdesigns/) نومبر 9, 2016 I really love Parsedown, I created a web app with it recently to host Markdown files on my server. I was really impressed with Parsedown’s speed. This plugin is exactly what I was looking for, so I could store my posts as Markdown in WordPress yet display them as HTML on the front-end.
