Offline packages

    Hello and thanks for this great plugin!

    Two questions about packages generated for offline usage:

    1. I tested with a very simple site having large header images but those images take quite long to show up and get visible only when clicking to a couple of other links. Is that normal?
      SOLVED: the culprit was Flying Pages. I deactivated it and images load fast but the initial loading time for the homepage is still quite long. Maybe add it to your list of incompatible plugins?
    2. Is there a way to later use those files initially generated for “offline use” with a domain online, either with the original domain or another?

    And a bonus questions: would it be possible for you to publish a post (with examples) in your FAQ for idiots like myself who don’t well understand the differences and usage of “Absolute URLs” and “Reative Path” package generation?

    Many thanks!

    Hey @dsl225,

    thanks for reaching out (and for your update!)

    1) Noted! I’ll add that to the list in the next update!
    2) I would recommend re-running the export with “Relative Path” or “Absolute URL” – this way, the paths are already optimized to work on a hosted environment.

    You can also do it manually with a code editor, but I’m not sure how viable that solution is for you.

    3) 100%! I’m also thinking about completely relabelling these settings. These are from the super-early days of the plugin and probably cause more confusion than they help! ??

    Thanks for the heads-up!

    Great many thanks and looking forward in finding some helpers in those settings!

    PS: In the meanwhile, which mode should I chose if want to convert an existing dynamic site into a static one at the same URL – by simply replacing all files with HTML versions?
