Is it possible to “freeze” a WordPress blog?

1 Views

I’m currently running a 365 photos project and it’s based on a WordPress platform. Currently this is very helpful because I can upload the photos easily and manage comments and stuff.

Because we are reaching the end of the year, I would like to “freeze” the blog. I mean, remove all the WordPress engine code and leave all the pages as statics HTML. This will allow me not to have to get updates for WordPress, or worry about security.

Is there any way to “freeze” a WordPress blog? Do I have to download the entire site with, say, HTTrack and re-upload it or is there a fancier way to do this?

BTW, I have no interest of keeping the comments on or any interactivity that the blog has. I just want a static website.

  1. Take a look at this WordPress plugin WP Static HTML output

    This plugin produces a static HTML version of your wordpress install,
    incredibly useful for anyone who would like the publishing power of
    wordpress but whose webhost doesn’t allow dynamic PHP driven sites –
    such as MobileMe. You can run your development site on a different
    domain or offline, and the plugin will change all relevant URLs when
    you publish your site. It’s a simple but powerful plugin, and after
    hitting the publish button, the plugin will output a ZIP file of your
    entire site, ready to upload straight to it’s new home.

  2. The best way to do that would be to completely delete the wp-admin folder. The site will still function as it does now, but won’t be accessible through the web. This would also allow you to simply upload the wp-admin folder if you ever wanted to make some changes.
