 * Hello all,
 * I’m using a plugin to zip up my website into a static html. Whenever I get the
   archive this creates it gives me a folders that go all the way up to the root
   such as this: “
    \statichtml\Inetpub\Test-Public\wp-content\uploads\20142\statichtml”
 * I only want the archive to start at the last statichtml. Here’s the code for 
   where it’s looking:
 * $uploadDir = wp_upload_dir();
    $exporter = wp_get_current_user(); $archiveName
   = $uploadDir[‘path’] . ‘/’ . self::HOOK; $archiveDir = $archiveName . ‘/’; if(!
   file_exists($archiveDir)) { wp_mkdir_p($archiveDir); }
 * Any clues on what to change within the plugin or where in the WordPress configuration
   I need to tweak a setting?

 * A quick look at the [plugin page](http://wordpress.org/plugins/static-html-output-plugin)
   shows a screenshot with a reference to a base URL. Did you try configuring that?
