I liked what I saw, but I’m worried about stealing code. * It’d be great if Rapid and Comet created Rapid Comet Cache and kept everything together. * Comparing Rapid and Comet to WP Rocket, WP Total, WP Fastest… Rapid Comet still feels like the best caching option out there. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Comet Cache] Beware, it seems that this plugin is no longer updated.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beware-it-seems-that-this-plugin-is-no-longer-updated/) * [melriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melriks/) * (@melriks) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beware-it-seems-that-this-plugin-is-no-longer-updated/#post-13970393) * As a note, I checked with WP Sharks and this plug-in is still supported. * The website needs some fixing, but they are still around. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[WP2Static] Download button does nothing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-button-does-nothing-2/) * [melriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melriks/) * (@melriks) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-button-does-nothing-2/#post-11873423) * For anyone else who might have this problem… * I had two problems. * 1. The site URL wasn’t set to use SSL, but I was accessing the site using https. Script not found errors. * 2. I had used cPanel to put a directory lock on the WordPress portion of the site. The directory lock was blocking the crawler. To get by it, in WP2Static settings, check Use basic authentication and complete the Basic auth user and Basic auth password. * Once those problems were fixed, my site exported as needed. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[WP2Static] Download button does nothing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-button-does-nothing-2/) * [melriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melriks/) * (@melriks) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-button-does-nothing-2/#post-11872193) * Did you find a solution?
