VimWordpress is a Python 3 plugin for Vim to manage Wordpress (incl. wordpress.com) blogs. As of 2016, other vim plugins lack the support of Python 3, which motivates the development of the VimWordpress plugin.

• Python 3 Environment matched wtih Vim's support ("has(python3)" return 1 in vim)
• python-markdown/python-markdown2 installed (execute "pip install markdown2" in shell)
• Wordpress 3.0.0 +

Updates

• 2020-01-30
  • Replaced SafeConfigParser with ConfigParser per deprecation requirement for Python 3.2+
  • Fixed an issue in BlogOpen

1. Use Vundle to add mrpeterlee/VimWordpress to the Plugin source. Plugin 'mrpeterlee/VimWordpress'
2. Create a ~/.vimpressrc file, and put the following in it

Commands

A few shortcuts was recommended in VimBlog for day-to-day blogging:

Starting workflow

From the shell I launch these two character shortcuts to begin blogging immediately.

alias nb="vim +BlogNew"
alias eb="vim +BlogList"

Inside Vim

Once inside Vim I can run these.

nnoremap <leader>b :BlogSave publish<CR>
nnoremap <leader>h :set ft=HTML<CR><CR>

Default to publish as "private"

Wordpress defines three types of posting: "draft", "private", "public", and VimWordpress defaults to "private" after ":BlogSave".
