In reply to: Simply Static: make/distribute copies for local hard drives?General settings: “Save for offline use.”
Advanced settings are all as defaulted.I download as a .zip file, Safari automatically unzips the file into the standard “downloads” directory, and I attempt to view the site by opening …/simply-static-1-1481043768-dpbsmith/index.html in a web browser, either Apple Safari or Firefox for the Mac.
The problem is that internal links are being rendered like this:
file:///wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bandy-4.jpg
file:///?cat=5
and neither Safari nor Firefox for the Mac appears to know what base address to use.
This is obviously some kind of generic problem with “website-on-a-hard-drive” since Simply Static doesn’t know what directory I’m going to put it in… but I don’t know how to solve it.
Should I continue this here, or via email with [email protected] ?

In reply to: Simply Static: make/distribute copies for local hard drives?Updated to PHP 5.3, apparently without problems. Simply Static activates, runs, and creates a downloadable ZIP file without generating error messages. I’m not currently having much luck “browsing” the results of expanding that ZIP file on my local drive, but I need to learn a few things about Simply Static and for the time being I’m done playing with it and don’t want to ask questions yet until I have my head on straight and am prepared to ask high-quality questions.
Thank you!

In reply to: Simply Static: make/distribute copies for local hard drives?OK, folks. Here goes nothing. (Deep breath).

In reply to: Simply Static: make/distribute copies for local hard drives?I’ll look into it. Probably yes. Scary. I won’t do it right away, I’m too relieved that a) installing UpdraftPlus to do a no-brainer backup seemed to work, and b) updating four hops from WordPress 4.2.x to 4.6.x didn’t break anything.
Apparently (yes, one more plugin) I’m running PHP version: 5.2.17. GoDaddy will let me update from “5.2” to “5.3
Let me ask: in your opinion, how risky is the transition from 5.2 to 5.3? (Because I have no idea whether GoDaddy will let me go back!)

In reply to: Simply Static: make/distribute copies for local hard drives?I just updated, apparently successfully, to WordPress 4.6.1 but I’m still getting the same error, “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/d/p/b/dpbsmithcom/html/shs/wp-content/plugins/simply-static/includes/libraries/PhpSimple/HtmlDomParser.php on line 3”
when I try to activate Simply Static.

In reply to: Simply Static: make/distribute copies for local hard drives?Unfortunately, when I tried to activate it, I got this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/d/p/b/dpbsmithcom/html/shs/wp-content/plugins/simply-static/includes/libraries/PhpSimple/HtmlDomParser.php on line 3That doesn’t suggest a conflict with other plugins. I tried deactivating “Password Protected” but got the same error. The site is not fully up-to-date but is not terribly far out-of-date, either.
Wait, I guess I lied: I’m only at WordPress 4.2.10
