 * I’m trying to generate my first static file. Right now, in Diagnostics, I’m down
   to one error still: In the WordPress box, under Permalinks, I get the message“
   WordPress permalink structure is not set”. Ok, so I’ve tried the various permalinks
   options in WordPress settings. This error only occurs when I use “Plain” (i.e.
   ugly) permalinks. When I use any other Permalinks option (Day and name, numeric,
   etc), the static file will not generate, and diagnostics will not run. It just
   hangs.
 * Any suggestions? I don’t care what my permalinks look like, I just want to resolve
   the error.

 * Hey [@harv696](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harv696/),
 * we support all variations of permalinks in WP except the “Plain” ones.
 * If the export gets stuck while using one of the other permalink options, the 
   issue is most likely related to something else.
 * Have you followed the debugging guide from the docs?
