Export WordPress Pages to Static HTML & PDF lets you convert WordPress pages, posts, and custom post types into clean static HTML files you can host anywhere. Generate portable static versions of your WordPress content for faster performance, improved security, and easy sharing.
Choose exactly what you want to export — a single post, selected pages, or specific custom post types. Each export produces a standalone HTML package with organized assets, making it easy for developers, clients, or teams to use the files without a WordPress installation.
Perfect for creating static versions of WordPress pages, archiving content, delivering client-ready HTML pages, or generating portable website packages.

<li>Create lightweight static versions of WordPress pages</li>
<li>Generate offline backups of important content</li>
<li>Share portable HTML packages with developers or teams</li>
<li>Export content for static hosting platforms</li>
</ul>
The plugin focuses on precision exporting, allowing you to control exactly which content is exported, how assets are collected, and how the final static package is structured.
PDF export support is also planned, allowing you to generate print-ready documents directly from WordPress content.

Export WordPress Pages to Static HTML & PDF — Static Site Export

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.
