#Using sitesucker to download wordpress archive#

And to reinforce that point, right after I finished sucking this site, a faculty member submitted a support ticket asking the best way to archive a specific moment of a site so that they could compare it with future iterations. I can see more than a few uses for my own sites, not to mention the many others I help support. I donвЂ™t pay for that many applications, but this is one that was very much worth the $5 for me. Crazy how simple that was, it makes me want to start working my way through a bunch of old WordPress sites I have and start retiring them to HTML. IВ uploaded the entireВ archive to their Reclaim Hosting account and pointed the domain at our nameserversВ and that was that. I just added the URL as illustrated above andВ 3 minutes later the entire site was downloaded as static HTML pages. Given this was a custom web tool and theyвЂ™re planning on building a new site after the move, why not simply package it up with SiteSucker which will provide them an interim home as well as an archive? I was prepared to tell the Reclaimer the migration was a no-go, but then I remembered SiteSucker.

There was no export tool (why you gotta be like that?)В and I was not goingВ to copy and paste scores of HTML pages. I finally decided to try it when I was migrating a website built with another hostвЂ™s custom webpage builder. The app costs $4.99 and takes any URL andВ packages up the entire site (including images and media) into local static HTML files. That said, today I had an occasion to use the Mac tool SiteSucker Tim Owens has been raving about for a while. I share Alan LevineвЂ™s passion for trying to archive as much of the work IвЂ™ve done online as possible, IвЂ™m just not nearly as good at it. I had followed with great interest the discussion on the Reclaim Hosting Community site about archivingВ a dynamic, database driven site as static HTML files.
