  • Subject: Feedback & Improvement Suggestion for the Plugin

    Hi Patrick,

    First of all, I want to thank you for the great work on the plugin. It’s really helping me push content quickly from Notion to WordPress, and I appreciate its efficiency. However, I’ve noticed a few limitations that significantly affect its potential, and I wanted to share my thoughts to help improve the plugin.

    Key Issue: Shortcode-Based Rendering

    Right now, the plugin relies on shortcodes to display content, but this approach comes with several drawbacks:

    1?? SEO Tools Don’t Work Properly – Since the content is not directly in the WordPress editor, SEO plugins (like RankMath or Yoast) can’t analyze it, making SEO optimization much harder.

    2?? Internal Linking & Automation Issues – Automatic internal linking tools (such as LinkJuicer) don’t work, which severely limits content efficiency and discoverability.

    3?? Editing Flexibility & WordPress Standards – Relying on shortcodes makes it harder to integrate with Gutenberg blocks, which are the standard for modern WordPress content editing.Suggested Improvement: Gutenberg Block Support

    To make the plugin truly powerful and seamless, it would be ideal if it allowed importing content directly into native WordPress blocks instead of relying on shortcodes. This would:

    ? Make SEO tools fully operational by having the content directly in the editor.
    ? Enable automatic internal linking with tools like LinkJuicer.
    ? Improve compatibility with other WordPress features and increase flexibility.My Current Workaround

    Since I still find the plugin very useful for pushing content, here’s how I work around the issue:

    • I use the plugin to import and display content quickly.
    • Once an article reaches maturity in my Notion database (i.e., when I consider it final and won’t revise it anymore), I manually convert it into a Gutenberg post by copy-pasting the content and removing the shortcode.
    • I then delete the Notion version to keep my database clean.

    This method works, but it’s far from optimal, and I believe the plugin could be much more powerful with native block support.

    Would you consider adding an option for Gutenberg block integration in future updates? I think it would make a huge difference in usability and adoption.

    Again, I really appreciate the work you’ve done on this plugin, and I hope this feedback helps!

    Best regards,
    Lilly
