Hugo a static site generator written in GoLang: https://gohugo.io

This repo is based on https://github.com/benbalter/wordpress-to-jekyll-exporter

One-click WordPress plugin that converts all posts, pages, taxonomies, metadata, and settings to Markdown and YAML which can be dropped into Hugo.

• Converts all posts, pages, and settings from WordPress for use in Hugo
• Export what your users see, not what the database stores (runs post content through the_content filter prior to export, allowing third-party plugins to modify the output)
• Converts all post_content to Markdown Extra (using Markdownify)
• Converts all post_meta and fields within the wp_posts table to YAML front matter for parsing by Hugo.
• Exports optionally comments as part of their posts. This features needs to be enabled manually by editing the PHP source code. See file hugo-export.php at line ~40.
• Export private posts and drafts. They are marked as drafts as well and won't get published with Hugo.
• Generates a config.yaml with all settings in the wp_options table
• Outputs a single zip file with config.yaml, pages, and post folder containing .md files for each post in the proper Hugo naming convention.
• No settings. Just a single click.

1. Place plugin in /wp-content/plugins/ folder
2. Make sure extension=zip.so line is uncommented in your php.ini
3. Activate plugin in WordPress dashboard
4. Select Export to Hugo from the Tools menu

If you're having trouble with your web server timing out before the export is complete, or if you just like terminal better, you may enjoy the command-line tool.

It works just like the plugin, but produces the zipfile at /tmp/wp-hugo.zip:

php hugo-export-cli.php

Alternatively, if you have WP-CLI installed, you can run:

wp hugo-export > export.zip

The WP-CLI version will provide greater compatibility for alternate WordPress environments, such as when wp-content isn't in the usual location.

• Export drafts and private posts
• Export optionally comments
• Various changes and fixes
