HTML Files are missing

the likely issue is the php version you’re running.

simply static in the wordpress repo will work on php 7.2 but not 7.3 (and up). this is due to a regex bug.

check this github repo for a forked version that has the fix. (Use as your own risk)

Hello, thanks for that. I worked, but the design is broken completely. Looks like the CSS is nor working at all.

Hello again ?? In a second test on the page that I want to export, it worked, so we can skip the broken design issue on my testpage.

I had to create a copy of the webpage on another server because I need to adjust some dynamic functions before exporting the webpage.

But, on the migrated site it doesn’t work.

When I try to generate the files, the Activity Log says:

[2020-12-10 12:08:19] An error occurred:
[2020-12-10 12:08:19] Cancelling job

When I go to Diagnostics I have 3 errors:

Checking if web server can read from Temp Files Directory: /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/simply-static-master/static-files/ ? x Fail

Checking if web server can write to Temp Files Directory: /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/simply-static-master/static-files/ ? x Fail

Checking if Additional File/Dir /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/ is valid ? x Not a valid path

I checked the permission for these folders and they are all 755.

I created an error log as well:
