  Another vote for me please. Any improvements to export / share would be appreciated. Right now, I am noticing sharing an entry to social media often removes parts of the text, or images.

  Hi everyone,

  I wanted to share a small project that might be useful for other Day One users.

  For one of my clients, I built a free WordPress plugin called DayOneWP. The plugin is still in development, but it already makes it possible to import Day One exports into WordPress.

  The idea is simple: you export your journal from Day One as a JSON ZIP file, upload that ZIP file in WordPress, preview the entries, and then import them as WordPress blog posts.

  The plugin can import:

  • Journal text
  • Photos/images from the Day One export
  • Original date and time
  • Location data
  • Day One metadata
  • Rich text formatting
  • Featured images
  • SEO fields for plugins like Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress

  You can import entries as normal WordPress posts, or use a separate custom post type for journal entries. Entries can be published directly or saved as drafts first.

  The plugin also includes duplicate checks, import history, logging and a safer undo option.

  The current version is 0.10.2, so I would still consider it a development version. I hope to move it towards version 1.0 soon.

  The plugin is 100% free. There is no tracking of active installations and no journal content is ever sent anywhere. Everything happens inside your own WordPress installation.

  I originally built this because my client wanted to move Day One content into WordPress without manually copying every entry and uploading every image. I thought other Day One users might have the same need, so I decided to make the plugin available for free.

  You can find more information and download it here:

  Feedback is very welcome, especially from people who have larger Day One journals or different export structures. Since the plugin is still in development, I would recommend testing it on a staging site or a test WordPress installation first.

  I hope this is useful for someone here.
