How to make it work on my Membership site?

    Thank you Patrick for your patient labour and diligent coding.

    The site uses the latest WP and free version of your plugin, and when I used it as my site Admin, it made static versions of the site as presented to non-logged in Members.

    I then tried creating a new member, approved it, and logged in, and ran the plugin from Admin again, this time giving the new member credentials in the plugin section; Advanced > Misc > Basic Auth.

    But again it made static copies of the +non-logged in+ views. ie. what you see as a non-member: Just a snippet and top image and invitation to join.

    So how do I run the plugin, and get the +full+ articles in the zip file?

    PS: Am I misunderstanding what your plugin does?

    I’m trying to make my WP dynamic site into a flat file static site, eliminating the need for all plugins.

    Perhaps you are trying to work with plugin developers to make their WP plugins function as static html plugins.

    Could you clarify for me please?

    Thank you Patrick for posting the FAQ Troubleshooting guide, where I read…

    Plugins which absolutely not work with Simply Static:

    • WooCommerce
    • Membership plugins
    • LMS plugins
    • Plugins that require a logged-in area of any kind

    Whilst I’ve been waiting for a reply, I have experimented with various settings, even deactivating our Membership plugin, and can confirm Simply Static does NOT work with Membership plugins.

    I +do+ understand that you are busy; best wishes with future development, and have a very blessed Christmas and New Year ??

    Hello 1waytoheaven, thank you for your posts. You are correct, unfortunately, Simply Static is not able to work correctly with membership plugins as they require access to WordPress and the database to check a user’s credentials. Since Simply Static creates a version of your website that is decoupled from the WordPress environment, the static version of your site is not able to run this functionality. Hope this information is of help. Have a wonderful day.

    Yes, I discovered it the hard way ??

    Interestingly, I did try deactivating the live Membership plugin for a few minutes, flushing caches etc. and generated a Simply Static copy, but even after adding every 404 url to the Additional urls pane, it still could not retrieve the css.

    Though I do use the Litespeed plugin caching, and was loathe to deactivate that as well because it’s so sensitive and complicated.

    And no, same result, even when I allowed the whole dir /litespeed/

    Not to fuss ??

    Have a Blessed Christmas and New Year to all our readers!
