Based on Wordpress REST API. Build with Node, Metalsmith, Handlebars and Gulp.

- Clone the code
git clone https://github.com/sjsd/static-site-generator-from-wordpress-rest-api.git
- Add URLs to the
./gulp-task/localjson.js
. First line. - Install dependencies:
npm install
- Build local JSON for post
gulp json-posts
- Build local JSON for pages
gulp json-pages
- Run a clean build
gulp build
- We're done! Your site is now in the
./build
folder.
Where do I set URL to my Wordpress?
Open ./gulp-task/localjson.js
and change the variable for wordpressURL. Like this: const wordpressURL = 'your-wordpress-blog.wordpress.com'
.
Note: it can be self hosted installation. Then you set something like this www.your-domain-name.com
Are you kidding me? The posts order the wrong way!
Yeah, well .. you can change that. Open ./gulp-task/metalsmith.js
and find the options for collections. Change the value to true. Like this: reverse: true
.
I want my own design Go ahead! Knock your self out! The script use Metalsmith and Handlebars. Or you can change the script to use what ever you prefer.
