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.


Not Worth the Money for Pro version

Simply turn your WordPress site into a secure, SEO-friendly static website. Export pages to optimized HTML/CSS and professional PDFs in one click.
