Is there any good way to convert a bbPress database to static/archived html files? I was going to try to make the WP2Static work for this, but if there’s a bbPress-specific plugin or something that already exists for this, I’d much rather use that. I looked around of course and couldn’t find anything.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Robin =) When/if I get some time to try WP2Static I’ll report back how well it worked.

Hi Tim,

Author of WP2Static here.

Whilst it may work for an archive of a BBpress site. I would suggest looking at HTTrack, an open source tool, specifically for converting sites to static.

There are versions available for most every known OS and you can even install it on your webserver to allow it to scrape the whole site quicker.

If you try WP2Static and it works for this use case, please let me know!

If you need help with using HTTrack, also happy to help.

Cheers,

Leon

@leonstafford Thanks for stepping in and offering advice! I really appreciate it. I will take a look at HTTrack first. 🙂
