Marklane – Batch Markdown Import for WordPress

Import one or more Markdown files as WordPress posts, including publishing settings from YAML frontmatter. Use Dry Run to inspect the planned changes before creating or updating posts.

Batch imports: Import several Markdown files in one operation and review each file’s result. A failed import normally does not stop the remaining files.

Frontmatter: Set titles, slugs, post types, status, dates, categories, tags, featured images, supported custom fields (meta), and terms in existing custom taxonomies (taxonomies). Marklane does not create custom field definitions or taxonomies.

Update posts: Re-import revised Markdown to update matching posts. Dry Run shows planned actions, taxonomy and image resolution, warnings, and errors without saving.

Choose how to handle source files: Markdown selected or dropped locally is not saved in the Media Library. Use Select from Media Library to upload and retain a source file. Related images uploaded with Markdown are saved without their original folder structure.

Marklane also supports relative images, Polylang translation links, and optional Mermaid diagrams, callouts, and display math. Markdown without frontmatter can create a draft post.

For setup details and frontmatter examples, see the Marklane guide.
