Elbutschitos HTML Publisher generates a fully static HTML export of your WordPress posts and pages, using WordPress purely as a headless content source, and pushes the result to a deployment target of your choice: Netlify or any standard SFTP host.<\/p>\n\n
Core features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Elbutschitos HTML Publisher is aimed at agencies and developers who want the editorial convenience of WordPress combined with the speed, security, and low hosting cost of a static site.<\/p>\n\n This plugin bundles the following third-party, MIT-licensed libraries so that no separate All are MIT-licensed and compatible with this plugin's GPLv2-or-later license. See the LICENSE.txt file for the full plugin license text and the This plugin only contacts external services that you explicitly configure and trigger yourself:<\/p>\n\n No data is sent anywhere without an explicit action from you, and no usage tracking or analytics of any kind is built into this plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n No. WordPress keeps running as your editorial backend. Visitors are served the generated static files instead, from Netlify or your SFTP host.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only if you use SFTP as a target and want the built-in contact-form handler to work, since that handler is a small PHP script. Everything else (the static pages themselves) is plain HTML and works on any static host. Netlify deployments do not require PHP at all, including for forms.<\/p><\/dd>\n See the \"Working contact forms on a static site\" feature above - forms are automatically rewired to either Netlify Forms or a bundled PHP mail handler, depending on your chosen target.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n
