    Hi at

    https://simplystatic.com/plugins/

    You say:

    We manually review, test, and add plugins that work great with Simply Static and a Static WordPress Setup. We keep this list maintained and updated with each release of Simply Static and Simply Static Pro

    But it does not say anything about all the other 1000’s of plugins that are available for WP.

    Eg it does not say that Simply Static MAY work with other plugins?

    Or Simply Static will NOT work with other plugins?

    If the answer is “MAY”, then what is the risk of using Simply Static with other plugins?

    Is there a warning about using Simply Static with not-listed plugins?

    For example I searched this page for “SEO” and noticed that my preferred SEO plugin, Slim SEO, is not listed.

    Does this mean that 1) Simply Static MAY work with this plugin? 2) Simply Static will NOT work with this plugin?

    Another way to ask this – Does this mean that I should not use Simply Static if I use ANY other plugin that the tested ones you list?

    Does this also apply to your paid dynamic to static hosting service?

    Thanks ahead of time

    Hey @jlwp123,

    thanks for reaching out!

    Good questions!

    The compatibility database:

    These are plugins that we have tested manually and use this database inside the plugin itself.
    However, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of plugins that work and might only require a small configuration.

    Slim SEO is a great example – it works just fine with Simply Static, but we haven’t integrated it (yet).
    So the only manual task here is adding the XML Sitemap URL to Simply Static -> Settings -> General -> Include -> Additional URLs

    For the integrated SEO plugins, this task is done automatically for you.

    Incompatible Plugins:

    We do have a list of incompatible plugins directly inside the plugin – when you take a look at your admin area under Plugins – we explicitly list “Simply Static compatible” and “Not compatible with Simply Static” based on the plugins you’ve installed.

    We also flag an error in our Diagnostics page when we see there is a plugin activated that is specifically marked as incompatible (like WooCommerce or membership plugins)

    A good rule of thumb is:

    – If the plugin is listed as compatible, it will work without any adjustments
    – If the plugin is listed as incompatible, it won’t work even if you adjust the settings
    – If it’s not listed, it might work just fine, but you probably need to include some CSS/JS files manually in the settings

    Simply Static Studio Compatibility:

    Mostly, there is one difference though – on Static Studio we can proxy AJAX requests – which allows you to use almost every form plugin and other ajax-based plugins – I would love to have this inside the plugin as well, but we only made that work with a pretty complex server-side setup to keep it secure.
