* Hello,
* maybe I simply don’t get it 😉 But it didn’t find anything in the instructions
and the forum to solve my problem.
* The downloaded only has the wp-content and the wp-includes folder an the index.
html, but all the other HTML files are missing.
* What I am doing wrong?
* Thanks!
Dirk

* the likely issue is the php version you’re running.
* simply static in the wordpress repo will work on php 7.2 but not 7.3 (and up).
this is due to a regex bug.
* check this github repo for a forked version that has the fix. (Use as your own
risk)

* Hello, thanks for that. I worked, but the design is broken completely. Looks
like the CSS is nor working at all.

* Hello again 🙂 In a second test on the page that I want to export, it worked,
so we can skip the broken design issue on my testpage.
* I had to create a copy of the webpage on another server because I need to adjust
some dynamic functions before exporting the webpage.
* But, on the migrated site it doesn’t work.
* **When I try to generate the files, the Activity Log says:**
