I’m having a similar issue. I don’t know how to turn minifying off, so I can’t eliminate that as an issue. Same theme, same plugins (Elementor Pro too).
I have a 1-page elementor website built on an Apache environment in Local. The exported page has all of the css files linked with version numbers that simply don’t exist in the file system. The outputted page is completely unstyled, but all the CSS files are properly called once I remove the version-number nonsense. I don’t understand it at all.
I’m considering buying the premium version, but this experiment is not promising.
very interesting. I have pro and there is no difference. Same output issues.
I actually just solved my issues (mostly), maybe this applies to you. Simply Static forgets to put a . before the URLs. You can nearly do a bulk replace of /wp-content, /wp-includes, and /wp-json, though there are a few bits in my code that I had to leave it alone (e.g. “\/wp-content”). Like “./wp-content”
I set the generator to offline mode and tried with force url replacement on and off. This is the kind of feature that’s super easy to fix, so hopefully they can get it fixed soon!
I was just coming back to say I found my issue as well! Replacing URLs needs to be set to: Offline Usage
@ryanb4614 and @josephcscarpa,
thanks for your reports!
We will look into this for the next update.
Just to be able to reproduce it (as it still works fine for me on InstaWP and LocalWP with Elementor and Elementor Pro):
- You have enabled the Elementor integrations in Simply Static -> Settings Integrations
- You chose “Offline Path” if you export as ZIP (for archive purposes only, choose relative or absolute path if you want to host them)
- You have enabled “Force Replace URLs” in Simply Static -> Settings -> General
- You don’t use third-party addons alongside Elementor
Thanks!
