WordPress Static HTML Output
Allows you to leverage WordPress as a great CMS, but benefit from the speed, security and portability that a static website provides.
Features
- generates a standalone, static html copy of your whole WordPress website
- specify extra files to include in the output (ie, dynamically loaded assets)
- multi-language support (English/Japanese currently)
Demo site
You can see a working example here of a plain WordPress install which has had a few tweaks done to optimize it for static HTML output. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, but could just as easily be hosted on Dropbox, BitBucket, GitLab, S3, your own server or anywhere else you can host HTML files.
Roadmap
- selectively export only changed pages since last output
- deploy your static files via sFTP, SCP, Dropbox, etc
- have a one-liner provisioning script for testing/development
Development
This repo contains the latest code, which you can clone/download to get the bleeding edge, else install via the official WordPress Plugin page
If you'd like to contribute, please follow the usual GitHub procedures (create an Issue, fork repo, submit PR). If you're unsure about any of that, contact me and I'll be happy to help.
