3 weeks ago Just to add to this, it feels odd that it relies entirely on the crawler when Wordpress has a whole function for "Pages" and "Posts", why not just go based off of those lists at least, and then use the crawler for everything else?

1 week ago Hey @Zacatero !
I stumbled upon your comment after encountering your same issue, but managed to fix it.
Are you using WPLocal as local development environment? If so, make sure to switch your Web server in the WPLocal Settings from Nginx to Apache. I know you already did, but include an HTML Sitemap in your site. You can use Simple Sitemap to do that. Once done, make sure to manually add the Sitemap URL in Simply Static under Settings->General->Include.

Hope it helps!

1 week ago @EllyKher Yes! I am using WPLocal. I appreciate this comment. I switched to Apache and put the Sitemap on the settings, and now it just stays on "Fetched 0 of 2 pages/files" forever. I have noticed an improvement in other ways, like if I hit cancel it actually cancels instead of just timing out later, but I can't get it to actually work now on Apache. Do I need to also do something else?
I noticed that I have to run the export four or five times before I get every page exported. Even with a sitemap that links to everything present in the footer on the homepage, I find I have to export it that many times before I get a full collection of everything. And sometimes, it only pulls the homepage and nothing else.
Is there anything I can do to make this more consistent? Is there a way for me to tell the SimplyStatic tool what my Sitemap is so it ALWAYS looks at that sitemap and all of the links within it, etc?
