IMHO we should use a WordPress plugin that is specifically designed for turning a WordPress site static, such as:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-static/

rather than rolling our own solution that will run into WordPress-specific subtleties that we will have to reinvent solutions for.

Feature request for such a plugin: preserve 3xx redirects.

Yeah, it'd be great if we could get an existing plugin to do the hard work for us. Last time I tried to go that route, I think I ran into difficulties regarding directory structure, and maybe I also hit sqlite-vs-mysql problems. But it seems like there ought to be a way to make it work, so I encourage you to try.

FYI, I'm unlikely to do this any time soon. It'll be months if at all -- there's too much higher-priority stuff in the backlog.

I'm interested in this issue, I have used Staticpress, what would be some possible pain points? http://en.staticpress.net/ @

Hey @tian2992 thanks for your reply. I’ll have to get my head around this issue again. I’ll try to answer within the next 2 or 3 weeks. Hope that’s enough.

Short update: right now I have no chance to take a look at this. Sorry. As soon as my backlog is decreasing I’ll pick this issue up again.
