Exporting and Publishing Content

    How to export WriteCited articles and publish them correctly on WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Framer, and other platforms.

    Export formats

    • Markdown — Best for Ghost, Notion, and developer workflows. Preserves heading hierarchy, bold, lists, and links. Paste directly into any Markdown-compatible editor.
    • HTML — Best for WordPress, Webflow, and any CMS with an HTML editor. Always paste into the HTML/Code view — never the visual editor, which strips heading tags and breaks structure.
    • Plain text — Best for tools that strip formatting. No heading tags or markup included. Requires manual reformatting.

    CMS-specific notes

    • WordPress: Use Classic Editor or a page builder HTML block. Do not use Gutenberg visual paste. Set Yoast or RankMath meta fields manually after pasting.
    • Webflow: Create a new CMS item. Paste HTML export into the Rich Text field using the HTML embed option. Set slug, meta title, and meta description in CMS item settings.
    • Ghost: Paste Markdown export directly into the Ghost editor. Set meta title, description, and URL slug in post settings panel.
