# [Plugin: Markdown on Save] Converting Posts from Former Markdown Plugin

 * Before installing this plugin, I was using a different Markdown plugin. Now that
   I have yours installed if I don’t deactivate the former plugin I receive an error
   message. This is not surprising and not unexpected.
 * Unfortunately, once I deactivate the former plugin, each post written in Markdown
   pre-your plugin now has the “Disable Markdown formatting” box checked and is 
   displayed on the site with no conversion. I am left with the prospect of going
   through each and every post and unchecking the box. Is there an easier way—a 
   setting, a trick?

 * I have a kludge but I too would like to be able to programmatically uncheck this
   box on every post. I have too many post to do this manually.
 * BTW, my kludge is a modified version of the original PHP Markdown by Michel Fortin
   that will convert all posts – regardless of setting.
