Embed a live Markdown file directly into your page — always showing the current version, with no copy-pasting.

## 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.

## 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.

## The result

A documentation or changelog page on your WordPress site that's always current, sourced directly from wherever the Markdown file actually lives.

## 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.
