Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Biznova Markdown File Importer for Block Editor version 1.0.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Markdown to Block Editor Importer lets you turn a Markdown document into a WordPress post or page in a single click. Headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, fenced code, horizontal rules, images, and links are mapped to native blocks so the result opens cleanly in the block editor.
This plugin does not add a top-level menu item. After activating, find it under:
Tools → Markdown Importer — upload a.md file and create a post/page.
Settings → Markdown Importer — set the default status (Draft or Publish automatically).
How to use
(Optional) Go to Settings → Markdown Importer and choose the default status: Draft or Publish automatically.
Go to Tools → Markdown Importer.
Choose your Markdown file and (optionally) a title and content type. The status is pre-selected from your setting but can be overridden.
Click Import Markdown — you are taken to the new post/page in the block editor.
Heading mapping
The first # (H1) becomes the post/page title automatically.
## becomes an H2 block; ### becomes an H3 block.

Troubleshooting
Can’t see the menu item — it’s a submenu: look under Tools → Markdown Importer, not the top level. Confirm the plugin is still Active (WordPress auto-deactivates crashing plugins).
Wrong title — a typed title wins; else the first # heading; else the file name.
