Hi, I'm running into the following error when trying to export a freshly generated WP site to ZIP.

Error: (1) Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function php_uname() in /var/www/wptbox/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php:5717

Hey @mpint,

thanks!

This isn't something we can actively influence in Simply Static - EasyWP seems to be blocking the php_uname() function from PHP.

This is used inside SS to generate the file name of the ZIP file containing your static files.

Please reach out to your hosting provider and let them enable it.

Thanks for the quick reply Patrick. We are using SimplyStatic Pro to deploy on Cloudflare Pages, so we only care about low costs and large storage from a WP provider. Could you recommend any SimplyStatic-compatible EasyWP alternatives that offer large storage and low costs?

[patrickposner]

@mpint understandable!

What about SpinupWP: https://spinupwp.com/

We use that (alongside Digital Ocean), and it works pretty well with all the features Simply Static and Simply Static Pro provide.

It also doesn't need any customization - their setup works out of the box!

Thanks for the recommendation, will look into them. Do you know if Dreamhost is compatible?
