⚡ Core Features (Free)
Export Scope — Free & Pro
Free users can export up to 5 posts or pages per run using the Custom export scope — hand-pick exactly what you need from any post type. Need more? Upgrade to Pro to unlock unlimited Custom exports, All Pages, All Posts, and Full Site scopes.
All Pages Export 🔒 Pro
Export all your WordPress pages in one click — no need to select them one by one. Perfect for exporting your entire page-based site (landing pages, portfolios, business sites) as clean static HTML. Available in Export WP Pages to Static HTML Pro.
Quick Export from Post & Page Listings
Export any single item instantly without leaving your WordPress admin lists. Every post, page, and custom post type item gets a dedicated Export to HTML action button directly in the listing row — click it and that item is exported immediately, no export panel required.
Granular Export Control
Pick exactly what to export — no need to regenerate your entire site every time. Select one post, a handful of pages, or choose from any custom post type. Use the built-in search to find content instantly and the ”Select All” button for quick bulk selection.
All Post Statuses Supported
Export content regardless of its WordPress status. Publish, Draft, Private, Pending, and Scheduled posts are all supported. Perfect for previewing unpublished pages as static HTML before they go live.
Role-Based Export
Export pages exactly as they appear to a specific WordPress user role. Export WP Pages to Static HTML temporarily creates a user of the chosen role, renders the pages through their eyes, then cleans up — no permanent users left behind. Essential for membership sites, gated content previews, and client deliveries.
Grouped Asset Organization
Turn on ”Group assets by type” and Export WP Pages to Static HTML automatically sorts all exported assets into clean subdirectories: /images, /css, /js. The result is a well-structured, developer-friendly HTML package that’s easy to hand off or deploy.
Parent Posts in Root Directory
Enable ”Parent posts in root dir” and Export WP Pages to Static HTML flattens your URL structure — /postname/index.html becomes /postname.html at the export root. Ideal for clean, flat static site structures.
Live Export Preview
After every export, a built-in file browser lets you preview exactly what was generated — HTML files, images, scripts, and stylesheets — right inside your WordPress dashboard.
Download Assets as ZIP
Download all exported images or other asset types as a single ZIP archive in one click. No need to manually browse folders or FTP into your server.
FTP / SFTP Upload
Push exports directly to a remote server over FTP or SFTP without leaving WordPress. Set your host, port, credentials, and remote path once — then upload with a button click. Supports FTPS (SSL) and passive mode.
Email Notification on Complete
Running a large export in the background? Enable ”Notify on complete” and Export WP Pages to Static HTML emails you (and optional additional addresses) the moment the export finishes.
Smart Asset Collection Modes
Three modes give you precise control over which assets are bundled: Strict (only assets directly referenced by exported pages), Hybrid (referenced assets + media library, recommended), and Full (everything: uploads, theme assets, and plugin assets).
Intelligent URL Discovery and Crawling
Export WP Pages to Static HTML’s built-in crawlers automatically discover all URLs needed for your selected content, including pagination, taxonomy archives, author pages, date archives, RSS feeds, post-type archives, sitemap URLs, and REST API endpoints — so no linked assets or pages are ever missed.
Fault-Tolerant Export Engine
Exports don’t break on bad URLs. Export WP Pages to Static HTML automatically retries failed URLs with exponential backoff, tracks every failure with its last error message, and lets you re-run only the failed URLs without restarting the whole export. A background watchdog monitors stuck processes and repairs them automatically.
Pause, Resume, and Cancel
Long exports? Pause mid-run, pick up later, or cancel entirely without corrupting your export directory. Full export lifecycle control from the admin panel.
System Status and Diagnostics
A dedicated System Status page checks your PHP version, WordPress environment, file permissions, REST API availability, and more — so you can diagnose issues before they stop an export.
Translation Ready
Export WP Pages to Static HTML is fully internationalized and ready for translation via the WordPress translation system.

Vanliga frågor
-
Is Export WP Pages to Static HTML free?
-
Yes! The core plugin is free and lets you export up to 5 posts or pages per run using the Custom export scope. Export WP Pages to Static HTML Pro is an optional add-on that removes this limit and unlocks All Pages, All Posts, Full Site, External Site Export, and AWS S3 deployment.
-
How is Export WP Pages to Static HTML different from Simply Static or other full-site generators?
-
Export WP Pages to Static HTML is built for precision over full-site generation. Instead of converting your entire WordPress installation, you choose exactly which posts, pages, or custom post type items to export — and in what status and user-role context. This makes it far more useful for client deliveries, content archiving, and partial static exports.
-
Can I export draft or private posts as static HTML?
-
Yes. Export WP Pages to Static HTML supports all five WordPress post statuses: Publish, Draft, Private, Pending, and Scheduled. This is rare in static export plugins and a key differentiator of Export WP Pages to Static HTML.
-
What does ”role-based export” mean?
-
You can choose a WordPress user role (e.g., Subscriber, Editor) and Export WP Pages to Static HTML will render the exported pages exactly as that role would see them. It temporarily creates a user of that role, renders the content, then deletes the user — nothing is left behind.
-
What does ”Group assets by type” do?
-
When enabled, Export WP Pages to Static HTML sorts all exported assets into subdirectories: images go into
/images, stylesheets into/css, and scripts into/js. This produces clean, organized output that is immediately ready for handoff or deployment. -
What does ”Parent posts in root dir” do?
-
It flattens the URL structure of parent posts. Instead of
/postname/index.html, the file is saved as/postname.htmldirectly in the export root — ideal for hosting on simple static servers. -
Can I re-run only the failed URLs?
-
Yes. Export WP Pages to Static HTML tracks every failed URL with its error message and retry count. A dedicated ”Re-run failed” button retries only the failed items without restarting the entire export.
-
Can I pause and resume an export?
-
Yes. Use the Pause and Resume buttons in the export panel at any time. Exports can also be cancelled without corrupting already-exported files.
-
Can I upload exports directly to my FTP/SFTP server?
-
Yes. Configure your FTP/SFTP credentials in Settings FTP/SFTP and enable ”Upload to FTP” before starting an export. Supports passive mode and FTPS (SSL). You can also browse remote directories directly from the settings panel.
-
How does email notification work?
-
Enable ”Notify on complete” in the Delivery and Notifications panel. You can optionally add extra email addresses for teammates or clients. A notification email is sent automatically when the export finishes.
-
What is the Preview feature?
-
After an export completes, the built-in file browser lets you browse all generated files — HTML pages, images, CSS, JS — directly in your WordPress admin. You can also download groups of assets (like all images) as ZIP archives from the preview panel.
-
Does Export WP Pages to Static HTML work with Elementor, Divi, and other page builders?
-
Yes. Export WP Pages to Static HTML works with all major page builders and has been tested with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks Builder, and the native Gutenberg editor.
-
Does it work with custom post types?
-
Yes. All public, registered custom post types are automatically detected and appear in the Export Scope selector under the ”Post types” tab.
-
Does it work on WordPress Multisite?
-
The free plugin works on individual sites in a multisite network.
-
What is External Site Export?
-
External Site Export is a Pro feature that lets you point Export WP Pages to Static HTML at any URL — not just your own WordPress content. The plugin fetches, crawls, and mirrors the target site, downloading its HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images into a clean, self-contained static package you can host anywhere. Ideal for archiving third-party pages, creating offline mirrors, or incorporating external content into a static delivery.
-
What are the asset collection modes?
-
Strict exports only assets directly referenced by the exported pages. Hybrid (the recommended default) adds your media library on top of referenced assets. Full includes everything — theme and plugin asset directories included.
-
Will this affect my live WordPress site?
-
No. Exports are written to a separate directory (
/wp-content/wp-to-html-exports/). Your live WordPress site remains fully intact and unchanged. -
Where can I get help?
-
Post in the WordPress.org support forum. Export WP Pages to Static HTML Pro customers receive priority email support.
