Hi Barry, thanks so much for trying Staatic to improve the performance and security of your WordPress sites.
According to the error, during the crawler initialization phase (where Staatic builds a list of URLs that should definitely be included in the static version of your site), a URL was encountered which was either too long (longer than 2,083 characters), or contains invalid characters (in most cases non-UTF-8 characters).
In order to resolve the issue, we need to find out which URL is causing this, and which URL provider provided the invalid URL. Could you please enable “Detailed logging” and restart the publication? Detailed logging can be enabled from Staatic > Settings > Advanced > Logging. Once the publication has finished, you can view the logs by going to Staatic > Publications > Details > Logs.
Could you then share the last log entries before the publication fails? You may also send an export of the publication logs (using the Export button at the top of the Logs page) as well as a copy of your site’s Health Info report (by going to Tools > Site Health > Info > Copy site info to clipboard) to [email protected]. This will give us a bit more information to work with.
Looking forward to your feedback.
