## Description
**Export WordPress Pages to Static HTML & PDF** lets you convert WordPress pages,
posts, and custom post types into clean static HTML files you can host anywhere.
Generate portable static versions of your WordPress content for faster performance,
improved security, and easy sharing.
Choose exactly what you want to export — a single post, selected pages, or specific
custom post types. Each export produces a standalone HTML package with organized
assets, making it easy for developers, clients, or teams to use the files without
a WordPress installation.
Perfect for creating static versions of WordPress pages, archiving content, delivering
client-ready HTML pages, or generating portable website packages.
**Common use cases**
* Deliver client-ready static HTML pages without giving WordPress access
* Archive marketing or campaign landing pages
* Create lightweight static versions of WordPress pages
* Generate offline backups of important content
* Share portable HTML packages with developers or teams
* Export content for static hosting platforms
The plugin focuses on **precision exporting**, allowing you to control exactly which
content is exported, how assets are collected, and how the final static package
is structured.
PDF export support is also planned, allowing you to generate print-ready documents
directly from WordPress content.
### Features
* **Export WordPress pages to static HTML** — Export individual pages, posts, or
custom post types as clean standalone HTML files.
* **Selective content export** — Export a single item or hand-pick exactly which

per run (upgrade to Pro for unlimited exports).
* **All WordPress post statuses** — Export Published, Draft, Private, Pending,
or Scheduled content.
* **Role-based page rendering** — Export pages as viewed by a specific WordPress
user role (useful for membership or gated content previews).
* **Developer-friendly asset structure** — Exported packages organize assets into`/
images`, `/css`, and `/js` directories.
* **Flatten parent URLs** — Option to export parent posts directly as `postname.
html` at the root of the export package.
* **Preview and download exports** — Browse generated static HTML files inside
WordPress before downloading them as a ZIP archive.
* **Direct FTP / SFTP deployment** — Upload exported static files directly to a
remote server from the export panel.
* **Reliable background exports** — Export jobs run in the background with pause,
resume, cancel, and retry controls.
* **Smart asset collection modes** — Choose Strict, Hybrid (recommended), or Full
asset discovery for exporting site resources.
* **System Status diagnostics** — Built-in environment checks (PHP version, permissions,
REST API) help detect issues before exporting.
* **Export buttons via shortcodes** — Add export buttons to posts or pages using
simple shortcodes.
* **Translation ready** — Fully internationalized and ready for localization.
* **PDF export (returning soon)** — Optional PDF generation with customizable templates(
headers, footers, fonts) planned for a future release.
### Pro Features

## FAQ
### Is the plugin free?
Yes. The core plugin is free and allows exporting up to **5 posts/pages per run**.
Pro removes the limit and adds bulk/full-site features.
### How is this different from full-site static generators?
This plugin focuses on **selective**, role-aware exports — you pick exactly which
posts, pages, or CPT items to export, rather than always converting the entire site.
### Can I export draft or private posts?
Yes. The plugin supports Publish, Draft, Private, Pending, and Scheduled statuses.
### Will it work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Yes. Exports capture rendered front-end HTML so Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder,
Bricks, and Gutenberg layouts are preserved.
### Can I re-run only failed URLs?
Yes. Failed URLs are tracked with error messages and retry counts. Use the Re-run
failed” action to retry failures without restarting the whole export.
### Where are exports written?
Exports are written to a separate directory (default: `/wp-content/wp-to-html-exports/`)
so your live site remains unchanged.
### Is PDF export available?
PDF export tooling will return in an upcoming release. When enabled, it will support
templates, headers/footers, and shortcodes to place PDF buttons.

### [Thank You for the Plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thank-you-for-the-plugin-26/)
[Mirai](https://profiles.wordpress.org/miraiserver/) Февраль 13, 2026
I just wanted to reach out and say how thrilled I am to have found your Export WP
Pages to HTML & PDF – Simply Create a Static Website” plugin. This is exactly what
I was looking for! I often create landing pages in WordPress, and there are times
when my clients request an HTML version of their landing pages. Previously, converting
WordPress pages to HTML was a time-consuming process, but your plugin has made it
incredibly easy and efficient. Honestly, I wish I had discovered this tool sooner.
It’s already saving me a lot of time and effort. Thank you for developing such a
practical solution for WordPress users like me!
