The primary goal of PW_Archives is to be light-weight and efficient. I’ve tried almost all of the popular archiving plugins out there, and so many of them make hundreds or even thousands of queries depending on the number of posts you have on your site. PW_Archives makes only one query to get your posts. That’s it. Not only that but it doesn’t do endless amounts of looping and counting to determine post and comment counts. That’s all included in the one query it does, and it’s very efficient.
The second main goal of PW_Archives is customization. Almost everything is customizable. Select what post types to include, choose whether you want the javascript to fade in or slide down (or no javascript at all). You can even select the date format and add custom markup. If you don’t know HTML, don’t worry; the defaults will work for most people.

Export WP Pages to HTML & PDF – Simply Create a Static Website

I needed to export a WordPress site for offline use and started looking for a plugin that would help with that. This one popped up and I tried it out as the first option. Ultimately I upgraded to Pro and was able to get my whole site downloaded. Really great plugin, I'll use it again if I need to replicate taking a site offline. 

Incredibly useful


If you want to make a true HTML version, this plugin does not do it.  When you create an HTML version it keeps all images and scripts on the WordPress site to be pulled to the static site thus slowing it down.  There is no way, even in the Pro version to export all resources with a new URL for easy upload to a server to display.  I am trying another plugin called Simply Static that seems to be working.
