## The problem it solves
Documentation, changelogs, and README files usually live in Markdown format in a repository, separate from your WordPress site. Keeping a WordPress page in sync with them means manually copying the content across every time it changes.
Content that lives in two places inevitably drifts apart. When your documentation, changelogs, or release notes live in a markdown file on GitHub or Git, you end up manually copying content into WordPress pages, and the two versions quickly fall out of sync.
## How it helps
Point the Markdown Widget at any Markdown file URL — a GitHub README, a changelog, a docs page — and it fetches the file on your server and renders it as proper HTML headings, lists, code blocks, and links. Because the fetch happens server-side, it works with private and self-hosted repositories too, not just sources that permit cross-origin requests.
Drop the Markdown widget anywhere on your page, give it a raw URL to any markdown file, and it renders the content in full — tables, code blocks, headings, images, everything. The content is fetched server-side (no CORS headaches) and cached for performance, so visitors always see the latest without you lifting a finger.
You can also upload a markdown file directly through the WordPress Media Library if you prefer not to link to an external URL.
## The result
A documentation or changelog page on your WordPress site that's always current, sourced directly from wherever the Markdown file actually lives.
Your WordPress content stays in sync with your source-of-truth markdown files automatically. Update the file in your repo, and the page updates — no copy-paste, no drift, no hassle.
## One document per product, without one page per product
The widget also comes with a `[dj_markdown]` shortcode, which works anywhere a widget can't go — inside a WooCommerce product tab, a text editor, or a template.
Instead of a fixed URL, the shortcode can read the URL from a custom field on whatever is being displayed:
```
[dj_markdown acf_field="changelog_url"]
```
Add a URL field to your products, place that single shortcode once, and every product shows its own document. A software shop can give each plugin a live Changelog tab that updates itself from the repository — no per-product page building, and nothing to maintain by hand as versions ship.
It reads ACF fields where ACF is installed and falls back to standard custom fields where it isn't, so it fits whichever setup a site already uses.
