I’m working on a setup to convert WordPress sites to static pages hosted on platforms like GitLab and Cloudflare Pages. If anyone’s interested in trying it out, let me know. Feedback would be super helpful!
I’ve got a few sites I want to archive to Cloudflare Pages. I’ll give it a go today!

Awesome, thanks! The default profile sets up its own Git and Pages config. You can switch to GitLab by editing the profile. Here’s a guide with screenshots:

After storing it in GitLab, you’ll find steps to deploy to Cloudflare Pages. Let me know how you feel about the setup process compared to the default Git and Pages config. Some folks found GitLab/CF tricky initially.

I’ll give it a shot. Might be a bit advanced for me, but I’ll try.

Getting an error: ‘Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require PHP version >= 8.0.0’. Not a great start lol.
@Sloan
That’s why I need testers! What PHP version are you running? (7.4.33 was the last before v8, and it’s been unsupported since Nov 2022.)
@Sloan
Downgrading to PHP7 is turning out to be a hassle. Still working on it. Are many people still on PHP7?

I’m on 7.4. Trying to access the WP Engine account to update PHP, but running into issues. Will let you know.
@Sloan
I’ve made some changes to support PHP7. It’s working on my 7.4 setup, but I need to test with PHP8 to ensure nothing’s broken. I’ll update you when the new version is live.

You forgot to enable the XML cache again.
@Shay
Yeah, my bad. I’ve already fixed it. It was related to generating sitemaps for v7. Shouldn’t be an issue moving forward. Thankfully, most people don’t have large enough sites to notice. 
@Sloan
Version 1.1.38 is up. It works on both PHP 7.4 and 8 based on my tests. Give it a try and let me know if it solves the issue.
@Sloan
Once it’s running, you’ll see a UUID in the dashboard. Send it to me, and I’ll increase your capacity so you’re not limited.

I’ll DM you once I get server access and start working on it again.
The links seem to work fine for me. Is this what you’re referring to? Make Me Static

Yes, that’s the one. Thanks a lot!
