Posting to WordPress from Obsidian

I’ve been wracking my brain (and the internet) looking for apps from which to post to WordPress. On the Mac, there’s the excellent MarsEdit (although I have never really liked writing in it; it’s great for posting, especially images, to WordPress). Another cool option was using the TextMate blogging bundle, although it was always something I’d set up but never use.

But on Windows? There’s Open Live Writer, which works for posting but is a terrible writing envrionment. There’s Word, too, but sometimes the blog feature just stops working. Even iAWriter, which normally has a post to WordPress feature on macOS, iOS, and Android, doesn’t support the feature. I’ve been writing in Typora and pasting into the WordPress editor. It’s fine but…

Then I learned this evening that there’s an Obisidian community plugin that will post from Obsidian to WordPress. Game changed! I have Obisidian set up on my Windows devices so that I can access my old Devonthink database contents, which I’ve reorganized in my Documents folder on OneDrive using the PARA system. I can still write in Typora, too, since I keep all my Uncorrected drafts in one folder.
