1.   To use PHP Markdown with WordPress, place the “makrdown.php” file in the “plugins” folder. This folder is located inside “wp-content” at the root of your site:

(site home)/wp-content/plugins/

   2. Activate the plugin with the administrative interface of WordPress. In the “Plugins” section you will now find Markdown. To activate the plugin, click on the “Activate” button on the same line than Markdown. Your entries will now be formatted by PHP Markdown.
   3. To post Markdown content, you’ll first have to disable the “visual” editor in the User section of WordPress.

You can configure PHP Markdown to not apply to the comments

With language set to Blog - Mark

Fetch post still returns HTML and not markdown. see following:

The new website is a complete redesign. Some of the content has be copied over to make the transition faster. Over time all the content will be updated. The new format allows for continuous updates and additions with ease. In the past the updating with tedious and therefore seldom done. The new site no longer involves page design and layout, using the latest web technology, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and PHP I am able to quickly update and change the look of the entire site. Archiving and searching of the content is greatly enhanced. You are now able to interact with the content and the other readers by commenting on the post. You do not have to identify yourself and we are using technology to remove spam from the posts.

When I post markdown as draft:

1. Cannot view in preview on WP

2. Tag buttons have changed above the post window in WP from the default visual editor buttons (so something installed)

3. the iPod image referenced above does not show and as you see it did not change the url.

Thank you for your help. Lloyd

In WP, you should install and activate "PHP Markdown 1.0.1d" (and "PHP

SmartyPants 1.5.1e" if you want).

Tell us if if you still have any problem.
