Static .zip not generating, can’t follow the steps in the FAQ
-
I want to transfer my website to a static host, not least because I don’t have the technical knowledge to maintain my site as it is anymore. But that also means I lack the knowledge to transfer it. Generating a static package does nothing – the Generating spinner just spins forever. The activity log says “Waiting for new export” and nothing else. The diagnostics page shows nothing at all. It’s probably for one of the following reasons, as listed in the FAQ:
- No real domain connected to your installation (Can’t make requests to itself)
- No SSL certificate running on your server
- A proxy setup prevents fetching pages (which usually happens with Docker setups)
- WP-Cron is disabled
The problem is I have no idea what to do about any of these things. If you go to my site (www.geoideas.net) you will get a “not secure” message. I think this is an SSL certificate problem but I’m not sure.
I really need some hand holding here. I would potentially pay the maker of this app or someone else to transfer my site to static. I just want it on the internet, cheaply, and not have to deal with the technical problems. It’s an old travel blog which I haven’t updated in years and don’t really need to again, but I don’t want it to disappear.
Any help much appreciated! I have no idea what I’m doing! Thank you.
