A Node.js command-line tool that converts a WordPress export XML file into Markdown files with frontmatter, downloading images and updating references. It is designed to ease migration from WordPress to static site generators like Eleventy, Gatsby, and Hugo.

Use cases

• migrate a WordPress blog to Eleventy
• convert WordPress export XML to markdown files
• move blog posts from WordPress to Hugo
• download WordPress images and rewrite links to local paths
• export WordPress posts with frontmatter for Gatsby
• bulk convert WordPress pages and drafts to markdown

When to choose

• you are leaving WordPress for a static site generator
• you want posts split into individual markdown files with frontmatter
• you need images downloaded locally with references updated
• you want a guided wizard plus CLI flags for output structure

When to avoid

• you need a live WordPress-to-static sync rather than a one-time export
• your source is not a WordPress export XML file
• you need a GUI or non-Node.js tooling
