    Hello, I’d like to know more about the pro version that will improve my workflow.
    Here is my current setup:
    – WordPress
    – Beaver Builder
    – Github Action
    – Firebase Hosting

    When I modify a page on the site, with Beaver Builder, I then :
    – Create the static site with Simply Static
    – Save the Zip folder and extract it
    – Copy/paste all files into the site directory.
    – Run git add/commit/push to start the site publishing process with Github Action and Firebase Hasting.

    My problem is that I have to extract, copy/paste and git add ect… the whole static site for my changes to be taken into account on the published site. If I only copy/paste one page from the Simply Static folder, the CSS won’t be applied to the final site…

    Will the Pro version allow me to extract – and publish – only one page, and also improve my workflow, for example by avoiding the zip step, but still allowing me to check files before publishing?

    Thanks!

    Hello jeanphilippegrasse. Thank you for your questions. Simply Static Pro has a deployment option for GitHub that allows you to skip the ZIP export and upload directly to your repository. The Pro version of the plugin also contains the option to perform single page/post exports and build (custom group of pages/posts) exports. With the core version of Simply Static your current workflow appears to be the best.

    Here is a link to more information about single exports: https://docs.simplystatic.com/article/58-how-to-use-single-exports

    Indeed, switching to the pro version, combined with the Github + github action export, has considerably improved my workflow!

    The only problem is that exports (in update mode though) sometimes take a long, long time… How can this be improved?
