static publishing with wordpress

  • Hey all,

    We’ve been using Movable Type for some blogs and we’re now getting ready to upgrade to MT 3. However, I suggested that we check out WordPress as I was pretty impressed with some of the features. However, we have one very important requirement that we would need to duplicate from our current environment. Basically, we want to have the server where people post behind a firewall and then have the blog server publish static files to public web servers.

    I’ve been searching around and I saw a few plugins and forthcoming features related to managing or publishing static pages but I have been unable to determine if the above scenario is possible without a great deal of pain. Anyone have any pointers here? BTW, I do realize that a central design feature of WordPress is that the pages are dynamic but the ability to publish statically is pretty much required for us.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Ummm…. find a different tool. WP doesn’t produce static pages (specifically html) in the manner you are looking for. The “static” pages you’ve seen in WP discussions are a different animal. People wanted to include static stuff (about me, email me, etc) into their site. That’s what those plugins are about. As far as I know there isn’t a way to generate static HTML out of WP short of viewing the page and doign a “File | Save As..” on it.

    Why not a modification to “Create New Page” where one could enter a URL instead of page content? The remaining fields wouldn’t have any effect on it, but some could be useful. Page Title would function as the title for the page in the Pages list and Page order would let WP know how to sort it.

    Ignore that last. It is relevant, but I explained it better in another post.
