Hello everyone! I’ve just uploaded an updated version of the “Make Me Static” plugin to the directory and would love any help or feedback you can provide. In the past, I’ve struggled with the “works for me” issue since I only have a few test sites. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
This plugin is designed for those with relatively static websites who want to publish and manage them as true static sites on a “Pages” platform. It includes access to its own Git and Pages platform, and also supports GitLab (Git and Pages) and Cloudflare Pages.
Feel free to check out the live demo on the plugin directory—it creates a real-world static copy of a site you can view online in about a minute!
Awesome, thanks! Once you set it up, the default profile will make its own Git/Pages config. You just need to change it to GitLab in the profile. Here’s a link with more info:
When it’s stored in GitLab, there’s a section below on how to deploy to Cloudflare Pages. I’m curious to know how easy or tricky you find both the default setup and the GitLab/CF one.
(Some folks have said the GitLab/CF setup was a bit tricky…)
Got it, I’ve changed a bunch of things to work on PHP7. Seems fine on my 7.4 setup, just need to test it on PHP8 as well to make sure I didn’t break anything. I’ll let you know when the new version is ready…
Yeah, sorry about that. I already pushed a fix. Had to tweak sitemap generation for V7, won’t have to do it again. On the bright side, no one else has a site big enough to notice
Ok, I’ve pushed version 1.1.38, tested it on both PHP8 and 7.4, and it’s looking good. Try installing it on your 7.4 and let me know if it works now. I think this was one of the main issues causing trouble earlier.
