Title: The perfect static tool Last modified: September 3, 2016 --- # The perfect static tool * [innerchildweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/innerchildweb/) * (@innerchildweb) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-perfect-static-tool/) * although i am having problems to get it running correctly at the moment, i can feel the power of this plugin. Therefore i give you 5 stars for this simple and great plugin. * I also have some idea’s for your plugin : * – Add an option where you can push the generated static files to another domain with ftp. – Add an option where if you change something on a page/post/etc and you hit done that your plugin will automatically create a static page for that page/post/etc only. * **– Add an option where you can push the generated static files to another domain with ftp.** * Now you only have 2 options to create files. By using a subdomain and then via zip or by using a subdomain on the same host. * Why not add ftp as a 3rd option ? Then you are not limited by zip or a subdomain. When you select ftp, you can add a name from that domain so the links in the static files will refer to that domain. Next the option for the ftp login can be added. * What could be the benefit of this 3rd ftp option ? * – No need for creating subdomains if your customer for example does not have this option – No need for customers to run the required software for wordpress– Options as a webdesigner to use your domain for creating websites and that you can push your created website to your customer. For example i create most of the time informative websites. No live blogs, just information pages. So no need for a live wordpress running in the back. This way i can just update the website on my own domain for this customer and then push it as static files to their domain. * Example : * – Cust request informative website – Does not want to run it or change. Using me for updates on the website – Cust has domain [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)– Create subdomain on my OWN domain customer1.workspace.com – Install your plugin– Set Delivery Method to ftp – Set destination url to : [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)– Set ftp address,login,port,password – Create wordpress website – When finished Hit generate ( asks permission to do it to exclude errors ) – Static pages are uploaded to [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) * If you have more customers then you can add a second sub domain customer2.workspace. com and repeat the above. * This way you can create your wordpress websites on the internet in your own private space in the cloud and control multiple websites from 1 spot. * **– Add an option where if you change something on a page/post/etc and you hit done that your plugin will automatically create a static page for that page/post/ etc only.** * Now it is all or nothing when you hit generate but wouldn’t it be great if this was also possible if you just update the pages/posts/etc you have changed ? * For example : * – Customer calls and wants 4 changes done on 4 seperate pages. – You login to his workspace on your OWN domain customer1.workspace.com – You edit the 4 pages and save it. – Your plugin then gets a call that these pages has been updated and created static pages of it and then put’s it in a queue. – Then you go to the generate page and you see the 4 pages in this overview. – Hit upload and it will only upload the 4 generated static pages. * This would be imo a nice addon for this page.
