How to turn your WordPress website into markdown .dm files for AI agents
Download your WordPress site as .md markdown files to use with AI agents.
I’ve created a simple WordPress plugin that lets you export your website as clean Markdown files, so you can share your site content with AI agents.
It is designed for people who want to use tools like Claude, Codex, ChatGPT or other AI systems to understand, review or work with their website content.
The plugin lets you choose up to 15 key pages, automatically includes your 30 most recent posts and gives you a downloadable ZIP file containing clean Markdown files and a simple sitemap.
No scraping. No copying and pasting. No wrestling with messy website code.
Just select your pages, download the files and give your AI tool something useful to work with.

What the plugin exports
The plugin is designed to export useful written content from your WordPress site without bringing along a lot of website clutter.
The plugin exports:
- Up to 15 selected pages
- Your 30 most recent published posts
- A simple sitemap.md file
- Clean Markdown files
- Page and post titles
- Headings and body text
It does not export images, design styling, forms, menus, scripts, tracking codes, private drafts or every page on your website.
It leaves your WordPress site untouched and does not save any files on your website.
The aim is not to create a full backup of your site. It is to create a clean, readable set of Markdown files that AI agents can understand and use.
How to install the AI Markdown Export plugin
The plugin is installed like any other WordPress plugin.
1. Download the plugin ZIP file to your computer. (Don’t unzip it)
2. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
3. Go to Plugins > Add New.
4. Click Upload Plugin.
5. Choose the plugin ZIP file.
6. Click Install Now.
7. When WordPress has finished installing it, click Activate.
Once activated, the plugin adds a new export tool to your WordPress dashboard.
