I was cleaning up my overpopulated downloads folder today and came across something I was looking into long ago:
WP → static site tools.
There used to be something called wp2static — I happened
to have something downloaded in Sep 2022 to try out.
But I could not find anything online any more today.
Instead, I found this blog post titled
This reminds me of how I planned to build static
sites using 11ty and convert those into WP themes
right within the 11ty setup — a different
but equally interesting endeavour in the wp site
development pipeline. I attempted this simply
because that allows me to start implementing designs
as simple static pages which is super cool, without
worrying about redoing all the ugly conversion
work to build a wp-theme.
I think i'll get back into this exploration for what it's worth, in both directions, just for some fun.
Here's a great reminder on why static is better. :)
This site is fully static — built using 11ty.
