 * I converted one of my sites to test but the results are not good.
 * WordPress URL: [http://vernonlee.co.uk/wp](http://vernonlee.co.uk/wp)
    Site URL:
   [http://vernonlee.co.uk/](http://vernonlee.co.uk/) HTML URL: [http://vernonlee.co.uk/html/](http://vernonlee.co.uk/html/)
 * I have entered the HTML URL above as the base URL when generating the zip. I 
   then unzipped the contents into the /html directory on the root of the domain’s
   workspace.
 * Why is HTML displaying wrong?

 * Hi,
 * Your CSS links are not correct on the exported HTML.
 * The plugin should work fine with relative links, but try setting absolute paths
   to the CSS in your WordPress templates to force it to pick them up and rewrite
   them to the new URL.
 * Cheers,

 * I do realize the links are wrong. I’m trying to understand why.
 * I used the HTML URL above as the base URL in the plugin to export the files. 
   What should I have used instead?

 * I have now tried not entering anything to the base URL section, which created
   relative links but still the site is not working when moved. It works if called
   from the location it was created but when it is moved to another location, even
   locally, it fails with errors.
 * Unless I can understand what the problem is I’m afraid I have to call this plug
   not working as advertised. Not able to get a response for a week is also not 
   helpful.
