Static rendering

  • Is there any possibilty that WordPress is able to statically render (spit out HTML files) sites? A good example is MovableType’s rendering which generates URLs like https://mezzoblue.com/archives/2003/12/12/accessible_i/ and the like. (What I am after is really the URLs, and secondly the server load being kept low)
    If there is no functionality as described above, is the plugin API (is there one?) wide enough to do this?

    umm I just found out that the CVS version has the mod_rewrite all setup ??

    And the URIs are even nicer than the one you linked. ??

    So WordPress doesn’t have static rendering then?

    WordPress generates pages dynamically. The URI’s are abstracts. Correct me if I’m wrong but the only sites left on the net which are static are AOL users’ homepages and MovableType users’ weblogs. ??

    LOOOOL, nice one Alan ??

    The whole idea of WP is that it doesn’t create static pages, rather it uses PHP to dynamically create pages on-the-fly. Now, if you want to save static pages the quick-and-dirty way, you can view a normal page in the browser, save the page as *.html and name it, upload the file, and you now have a static page.
