I am trying a new run with the following changes:

1. I removed the check mark from the include URL with Recursive at the end, neither is checked
2. Added several URLs to the exclude group with the root path at the beginning of each
   /wp-content/uploads/*
   /wp-content/gallery/*
   /wp-content/dijitaldokuman/*
   /wp-content/cache/*
3. Under the Publication Resources tab, it still lists many from /uploads
4. In about 30 minutes, the crawl indicator is at 2,340 / ~18,955 (12%) and going
5. I will report when the process finishes or fails

Thank you for your guidance.

Much appreciated! Here is the information, I removed the common root path from all lines:

Hello again,

My friend’s attempts to get a static copy of his site failed several times. I tried doing the same on my cloned site and my attempt failed as well. After a few failures, I changed the parameters as follows:

HTTP timeout    120
HTTP delay    250
HTTP concurrency 2
Publication task timeout 360

It was going at a steady rate and I captured a short screen video last night. However, this morning, I got the message that it failed about four hours after I started it with a message “Publication failed during crawl task”. You can view the short progress video:

My site has about 830 posts, 550 or so NextGEN Galleries, and thousands of photographs. Will Staatic convert my site to static content that I can run on my computer? If the full site is too heavy a load, can I attempt to do it in segments, and how? Are the parameters I ended up with reasonable, or do they need changing?

Thank you for your help.

PS The cPanel indicates that I have used allocated number of files:
596,297 / 600,000 (99.38%)

If this is the problem, I guess I am hitting a brick wall.

I was in a hurry when I posted the question above yesterday. I am mainly interested in converting my NextGEN Galleries to Envira. Is that feature available only on the paid version? With a little more careful reading today, I see that the conversion feature in the free version is for WordPress galleries.

Thank you.

Hello again. I have a couple of questions on some of the settings on a shared hosting account. Probably two settings are critical for a successful completion: HTTPP Delay and HTTP Concurrency. The first is set at zero and the latter is at 4. My gut feeling is that some delay may be necessary so that Staatic can run and complete the deployment. What may be a reasonable delay in milliseconds? Will the hosting company try to slow down the running process and thus interrupt it if there is no delay? The site my friend will attempt to export to HTML is

https://www.dennisgoulet.us/ .

Thank you.
