In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Static site just shows text linksHi Tommy,
I’m glad you were able to get things working! That’s awesome. As for how you can help, I’d mention leaving a review, but you already did that 🙂 Thanks for your support!
alexhopi- Sorry you’re having issues. Could you create a new thread with a few more details about the problems you’re running into? It’d be helpful to know if Simply Static is encountering any 404’s or other errors (anything aside from 200’s). Or just email me: [email protected]

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] generation hangsHi ptroxler,
Do you know approximately how many pages you have on your site? I’m wondering if maybe Simply Static is timing out because it’s taking too long. (My primary goal at the moment is to fix this issue, by the way.)
As for a log, you should be able to view it if you edit your wp-config.com and set this:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);…and then visit your web server’s log (e.g. /var/log/apache2/error.log)

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Static site just shows text linksHi! Sorry to hear you’re running into issues.
When Simply Static runs, is it giving you a bunch of 404’s for the missing files (or any other status code besides a 200)? Or is it just not listing them at all?
Is there anything out of the ordinary that you can think of for your installation? Is it a multisite installation? Is your WordPress Address different from your Site Address? Are you using symlinks? Have you defined WP_CONTENT_DIR/WP_CONTENT_URL? Anything you can think of that might be different from an out-of-the-box WP install.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Missing filesThanks for the kind words and for reporting your issues! I appreciate it.
wp-includes/images/media (I am using the wordpress audio player which works nicely also in the static version, just the image files are missing)
Do you know how those images are getting loaded in? Or where the images are stored at? If they’re loaded in via AJAX you might just need to add the directory for the images to Additional Files and Directories on the Advanced tab.
wp-includes/js/wp-emoji-release.min
I’ll have to spend a little time figuring how to best handle this one. About the best I can suggest at the moment would be to do a find/replace after Simply Static has run and replace your Origin URL with the Destination URL, and either manually copy over that file or add it to Additional URLs or Additional Files.
the tags <gcse:search></gcse:search> are used. Your plugin replaces them with <search> and </search> tags
That’s a new one. I’ll see if I can get a fix in for this.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Meta Tags MissingHi tjachmann! I’m glad you’re liking the plugin. I too had the same issue where I tried other plugins but ran into issues with each of them. That’s why I created Simply Static.
Sorry you’re having trouble with the Yoast meta tags. I’ll take a look and see if I can get those preserved for you. Thanks for reporting this issue!
Hi Mark,
You’re right, that’s definitely no good! If you can provide some additional information I’d be happy to try and help resolve this for you. (You can also email me at [email protected] if you’d prefer.)
If you can provide the URL of your WordPress site, that would be the most helpful thing. But if it’s not publicly accessible, things that would help to know are:
– What version of WordPress are you using?
– What theme are you using?
– Are the images being brought in by the theme, or a plugin? (If a plugin, which one?)
– Are the images loaded via AJAX?Thanks!

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Is my site too big?Hard to say, it would depend entirely on the specs of the machine running WordPress. About the best I could tell you would be to just try it out.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Not generating ZIP fileThe setting is called max_execution_time. And a heads up, Apache and nginx can have timeouts of their own for long-running scripts. If adjusting that value and reloading/restarting the server doesn’t work, you may need to look there as well.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Missing index.html FileThanks for reporting this issue! I’ve just released v1.2.1 that should fix it for you.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Is my site too big?So on my El Cheapo $5/month hosting plan, the limit is almost exactly 100 posts. My host times out after 60 seconds, and Simply Static was processing 100 posts in 58-59 seconds.
I’ll just come out and say it: that’s pathetic.
I’ll be releasing version 1.2 shortly which is a bit faster, but not enough to improve the number of pages you can generate by very much.
Look for version 1.3 to completely fix this issue. It’s my next priority, because seeing the results of that is saddening/infuriating.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Is my site too big?That’s a great question to which I don’t have a good answer at the moment. I’ll try it out on shared hosting in the next week or two and see if I can come up with a rough ballpark.

In reply to: [Simply Static - The Static Site Generator] Not generating ZIP fileHi Mike,
Sorry for the trouble you’re encountering. It sounds like it’s taking Simply Static so long to generate a static copy of your site that your server is cutting off the process prematurely.
If you have control of your server (i.e. it’s a VPS) then you can try adjusting the timeout in your php.ini file. In the more likely event that you’re using some kind of shared hosting, I’m afraid there’s not much you can do at the moment. I’m going to be working on a way around this limitation for larger sites, but that fix is still a ways out; my apologies.
