Produces a static HTML version of your Wordpress install and adjusts URL accordingly 

== Description ==

[About the author](http://leonstafford.com/)

This plugin produces a static HTML version of your wordpress install, incredibly useful for anyone who would like the publishing power of wordpress but whose webhost doesn't allow dynamic PHP driven sites - such as MobileMe. You can run your development site on a different domain or offline, and the plugin will change all relevant URLs when you publish your site. It's a simple but powerful plugin, and after hitting the publish button, the plugin will output a ZIP file of your entire site, ready to upload straight to it's new home. 

An example of a website which has been generated by this plugin and is now running in a static mode can be seen here:[Leon Stafford](http://leonstafford.com "Leon Stafford"). Please note that I'm currently running a very stripped down theme for testing, though this will work with most all WordPress themes with some slight tweaking for comments/RSS serving.

Limitations:
* The nature of a static site implies that any dynamic elements of your wordpress install that reply upon Wordpress plugins or internal functions to operate dynamically will no longer work. Significantly, this means comments. You can workaround this by including a non-Wordpress version of an external comments provider into your theme code, such as the Disqus comment system. Any page elements that rely upon Javascript will function normally. 
* inability to correctly capture some relative links in posts
* inability to detect assets dynamically loaded via javascript after page load, these will need to specified separately (but will work)

Premium Options:
* Free domain name of your choosing (.com, .net, .org, etc)
* One click deployment from your WordPress control panel
* UNLIMITED filestorage for your whole WordPress site, including all attachments, etc.
* Maximum redundancy so you never lose your static site
* Premium support for the WP Static HTML Output Plugin via email with 24 hr response time



Planned upgrades:
* one-click transfer to your destination server via FTP,SFTP,WebDAV, etc<br /> 
* progress meter to show % of .ZIP creation 
* speed improvements

== Installation ==

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

e.g.

1. Upload the static-html-output directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install via the wordpress interface "add new" or "upload" the zip file
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Access the plugin settings from the "tools" menu

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where can I publish my static site to? =

Anywhere that allows HTML files to be uploaded.

= My comments don't work anymore! = 

See the readme. In brief: you can't use dynamic wordpress functions such as comments on a static site. Use an external comments provider such as Disqus, or live without them.
