Avoid duplicate of uploads folder/file | ww.wp.xz.cn

Hi,
I was trying out the plugin and it works nicely. However I have noticed that the exported site contains its own wp-content/uploads folder in the subdirectory. This takes up double the storage. Is it possible that the static files points to the already available original wp-content/uploads folder.

Thanks.

Hey @pkd2989,

I don’t think we add that as the plugin is intended to have your static site completely separated from your WP website: https://docs.simplystatic.com/category/57-prepare-wordpress

However, we are working on automatically rewriting the URLs for media files in WP to the URL of the static site – this way, you achieve the same results (less storage usage), but the source of truth should be the static site, not the WP site.
