ondrejkolin Hello,
# ondrejkolin Does someone has experience with migrating WP to https without losing FB-likes and comments?
# ondrejkolin Forced canonical url/data-href/og:url for widgets doesn’t seem to solve it, any thoughts?

[jgmac1106] Have you tried the wp2static plugin? I homestly could find zero ways to succcessfully export my WP site and just put it on a subdomain as an archive
# [jgmac1106] literally every method to export WP sites failed for me

# 
[grantcodes] Wow. Any reason you know of why exporting failed? You might not get something incredibly useful but the export should at least work
# [jgmac1106] everything just told me my site was too big
# [jgmac1106] not sure the WP2Static fail, that was a big bummer
# [jgmac1106] but standard WP>Export Site>fails too
# [jgmac1106] everything I read said I needed to break it up and export it in pieces.....no time for that nonsense
# [grantcodes] Hmm, that

# [grantcodes] *that's a believable reason, especially if you're on a shared host and can't increase php execution time limits
# [grantcodes] I would think you'd be able to get a database dump from your host at least? Although the WP database is a bit of a mess to try and understand

# [jgmac1106] yeah I have hard and cloud copies of my database, may juts be another manual until it hurt excercise or stay on the subdomain forever
# [grantcodes] Maybe try creating a local version and exporting from that instead then?

[jeremycherfas] Just had an interesting experience. Wanted to subscribe to one category of a WP site. Put that category into Newsblur and it found only the first feed of three on the page. Thanks to previous discussions here and in other channels, I just stuck the URL + /feed into Newsblur and it worked fine. Might raise an issue with Newsblur about that.
