No, why? That one didn't work?

It works but just not so well and seems not compatible. Btw I found another plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-static/ This works quite good for me.

thx zac i have watched ur tutorial and it is very nice and u teach well, i have a few questions on

wordpress theme^^

First i 'm not very understand in custom content, i have a webpage that want to make it become

custom content , that means i want to let the users can do amendment in wp admin area in the

page, then

next question i want to make a page embed with multiple pages, (for example a page contain

header, main content, footer) , since the header and footer is custom, so how can i make a

page to have multiple pages in it (but i really dont' know if using page is correct).

lastly, for the wp static html output , i want to generate in my computer but not on the domain, for me my path is localhost/wordpress , but after generating the static code , when i open the static html , it sems like all the the html cannot get the css and js , but i find the path is correct, do you know what happen? ^^

Thank you.

Hi Priscilla,

You're asking some pretty high level questions here. First, I would suggest to follow the How to Build a Theme. That will teach you what you need about customizing the site.

As for the static export, you will need to setup a local server and install WordPress there. You can then work on transferring your content. Is that something you're comfortable doing?
