Hi, we've been looking at way to have our WP instance as a CMS, using it as an authoring tool, with the the usual workflow status, overviews etc. Has anyone found or using a WP plugin that will copy over content authored in WP to indd for print, keeping tags for styling et al. We will be using CC17.

Many thank in advance for any insight, Damion

    Is the Wordpress blog live? If so, I wrote this script:

    Damion,

    did you test the ones listed here:

    indesign — WordPress Plugins

    Or did you a search on the web?

    Maybe you can make something out of this:
    GitHub - bangordailynews/WordPress-to-InDesign: Getting content from WordPress to InDesign

    Something in German:

    IDUG Berlin#30 – Crossmedia: WordPress to InDesign 1.Teil - YouTube

    Regards,

    Hi Uwe,

    Thank you for the links - we've had a look at the Bangor one on github, and we've made some progress, good shout.

    I'll check out the other two links.

    Cheers

    Hi

    I dont think it's possible, even with heavy scripting. All I can think is adding good quality screenshot in ID.

    But, that's my 2¢
