Destination - sub-directory?

WP Static Site Generators Static HTML Output
#1

Thanks for this plugin, it looks decent.

Can I set the destination url so that the static site is served from a directory (eg http://example.com/static-site-here/)?

Thanks @toby1kenobi,

Re subdirs, there’s an open issue with discussion that can fill you in and maybe provide a workaround for now.

Ok, thanks. Serving the static site out of a sub-directory is a must for us (as in it’s a client requirement).

#4

Any requirements on where to host it or a preference from your side?

If using any kind of proxying, you should be able to map sub.somedomain.com to somedomain.com/path/

#5

Yes - we have had a few instances where clients see the benefit in hosting a piece of work on their primary (rather than a sub-) domain but want us to create something outside of whatever technology they’re using to provide their main website.

So something that can effectively be provided as a zip file, and unpacked to a sub-directory and just work with zero configuration is appealing.

Hope this helps!

Do ping me on that GitHub Issue if you don’t see activity on it.

Subdirectory is a popular choice of webmasters as it is a common belief that it passes links value of root domain.

Indeed. This and bringing back FTP deploy option are biggest requests for Static HTML Output at the moment (oh, and merging that Windows support fix!)
