# 00:34 [asuh] I’ve found most free plugins lack too many things, so I’ve settled on exporting via PHPMyAdmin or `mysql` command # 00:36 aaronpk i want a browseable version of the site, not just a database backup [tw2113_Slack_] joined the channel
# 00:41 [tw2113_Slack_] direct db exports are great for migrating WP -> WP but not so much for general versions that you can just drop on a server somehow # 00:42 aaronpk i'm keeping the database backup too but it's not super useful on its own # 00:46 [asuh] right, after a standard mysql import, I find the easiest path for me is using wp-config.php overrides using `WP_ENV`, `WP_HOME` , `WP_SITEURL`, and `WP_DEBUG` if needed. # 00:47 [asuh] In fact, it might just be home and siteurl is all i truly need to make it work locally # 00:47 aaronpk to be clear, i'm trying to remove the wordpress part of the site, to turn it in to just a static pile of html # 00:47 aaronpk i don't want to have to continue to update wordpress and the corresponding plugins when these sites haven't been touched in 5+ years # 00:48 Loqi [aaronpk] spiderpig: 🕷🐷 reduces a dynamic website into a pile of smoldering html # 00:48 aaronpk crawls the whole site and downloads everything to html files in as close to a folder structure that matches the original site # 00:48 [asuh] Smashing Mag just featured an article to export WP into Eleventy if that’s of interest # 01:10 aaronpk course then i have to maintain a node version if i ever want to build the site again :) # 01:10 aaronpk but thank you you did remind me to export an xml file too just for good measure [KevinMarks], nickodd, bishop_bautista, [Raphael_Luckom], [jgmac1106] and cambridgeport90 joined the channel
# 15:52 cambridgeport90 I figure I might, and I am also going to port over my YoastSEO settings to AllInOne SEO. # 15:53 cambridgeport90 Maybe then my Fediverse presence will quit randomly dying. Not sure why that keeps happening; it's kind of like one of those now you see me, now you don't, kinds of things.
