 * When I click “generate” the page reloads and builds the dashboard side menu until“
   Simply Static” appears, then it stops.
 * temporary files appear to be generated … but not transferred to target directory
   or put into a zip archive, i.e. both delivery methods fail

 * Hi ptroxler,
 * Do you know approximately how many pages you have on your site? I’m wondering
   if maybe Simply Static is timing out because it’s taking too long. (My primary
   goal at the moment is to fix this issue, by the way.)
 * As for a log, you should be able to view it if you edit your wp-config.com and
   set this:
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
 * …and then visit your web server’s log (e.g. /var/log/apache2/error.log)
