In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Suggestion: sync with GithubpagesI just found out that one of the folks that wrote a review for Simply Static also wrote a fantastic guide for how to get your exported pages onto GitHub pages:
http://www.hywel.me/static/site/wordpress/2016/07/17/fast-free-static-website-with-wordpress-and-github-pages.htmlGive that a whirl. It’s literally a step-by-step guide for what to do 🙂

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Possible to run on a schedule?Hi semyan,
You can try crgeary’s method, but Simply Static isn’t set up terribly well to run with wp-cron currently. It’s definitely something I plan to address in the future though.

ScottHi Pierre,
Sorry for taking so long to respond to this. I’ve added this to our bug tracker and I’ll take a look at this as soon as I can. Thank you for the long explanation, that helps a bunch!

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] 403 Forbidden in "Save Settings"Hi moojamboo,
After some quick googling, it looks like the “A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site” error message is from WordFence. Are you using WordFence? Have you tried disabling WordFence and see if that fixes the issue? (Turn it back on after saving settings, of course!)
I’ll try some testing on my side and see if I can replicate the issue.

Hi Golan,
You make a good point, I should probably default to including everything in the uploads folder. That seems to be a common issue where there’s a JavaScript library that’s loading in images and Simply Static misses those entirely.
Originally I didn’t include uploads because I didn’t want to include all sorts of images that people had uploaded but never actually used on their site. But, I think, a worse scenario is not including things that should be included.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. You’ve persuaded me to add this in one of the next versions of Simply Static.

ScottHi myroxie,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. And thanks for the explanation of what’s going on! That’s super helpful.
So you’ve got a WordPress site at http://housepetality-petsitting.com/ and you want to move it to http://goodworx.com/archived-sites/Housepetality. Simply Static successfully generated the pages, but it didn’t get any of the URLs adjusted.
In Simply Static, are these the values you have set for Origin and Destination URLs?
Origin URL: http://housepetality-petsitting.com
Destination URL: http://goodworx.com/archived-sites/HousepetalityLet me know.

Hi Jason,
The short answer for “how does Simply Static handle forms?” is “not at all” unfortunately, unless you’re using a 3rd party host for forms like Wufoo or something along those lines. I’d like to add something to Simply Static to help with this eventually, but that’s still a ways in the future.

ScottHi Aparna,
What version of PHP are you using? Is it something prior to 5.3 by chance? Simply Static requires at least PHP v5.3.

Hi Pablo,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Are you using the most recent version of Simply Static (v1.6.2 at the time of this writing)? It looks like you might be using v1.6.0 or prior, which had this issue.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Only two pages found, both 403Hi kitsunekyo,
I don’t have a good explanation for why that would be happening. Were you using PHP 7 as Will mentioned? I’ll make a note to try this with PHP 7 and see if I run into any issues.
And thanks for your comment, Will!

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Support wp-cliHi guys,
As crgeary correctly pointed out, WP-CLI is currently only used for unit tests, and isn’t directly integrated with Simply Static. This is definitely something I plan to support eventually, but I don’t have an ETA for it yet.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Could you let me know what OS you’re using and what application you’re using to unzip the zip archive?

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Use as static websiteHi duytanqb,
B0RG provided a great response, pretty much what I would have said. I would either (1) host WordPress on your local computer and upload the exported pages to your webhost, or (2) host WordPress on a subdomain — e.g. wordpress.yourdomain.com — and set up the Simply Static export for http://www.yourdomain.com, where http://www.yourdomain.com is just serving up the static files from a directory.
If you do want to keep WordPress at the original domain, then as B0RG mentioned, use one of the caching plugins instead. They’re a lot easier to use and set up for that kind of thing.
Best,
Scott
