Marklane – Fast Publishing from Markdown.

विवरण

Marklane is built for fast publishing from Markdown. It helps editors turn local Markdown drafts into WordPress posts without copying content into the post editor by hand.

Write locally in Markdown, add YAML frontmatter for post settings, then import the file from Tools > Marklane. Marklane can create a new post or update an existing one by slug, apply categories, tags, dates, featured images, post status, and Polylang language links in one import. When frontmatter is omitted, it can derive a draft title and slug from the first H1 and filename.
If you enable Ignore invalid frontmatter, the plugin ignores only the invalid frontmatter keys and keeps the valid ones. If the YAML block itself is broken, it falls back to the filename and first H1 while keeping the selected post status and date options.

Features:

• Fast Markdown publishing: import prepared Markdown files from the WordPress admin
• YAML-controlled post settings: set title, slug, status, date, categories, tags, featured image, and language links
• Safe re-imports: update existing posts by slug instead of creating duplicates
• Dry Run preview: review the planned create/update action, category and tag assignment, image resolution, warnings, and errors before saving
• Media Library image resolution: resolve relative Markdown image paths and featuredImage against existing attachments
• Polylang support: connect translated posts from lang and translations frontmatter
• CommonMark + GFM conversion: parse Markdown with league/commonmark

For the most predictable image resolution behavior, it is recommended to disable WordPress’s year/month based upload folders and to use fully unique filenames for Markdown files and image assets.

This plugin is best suited to workflows where:

• articles are written locally in Markdown
• WordPress is used as the publishing destination
• editors want to keep the import source file manageable inside WordPress
• repeated imports and post updates are part of the workflow

Frontmatter quick reference:

Marklane reads YAML frontmatter at the top of the Markdown file. Common keys include:

• title
• slug
• postType
• excerpt
• status
• date
• category
• tags
• featuredImage
• lang

• translations

  title falls back to the first H1 and then the filename. slug falls back to the filename. postType defaults to post, and status defaults to draft.
