How to Convert a Mediawiki wiki and WordPress Blog to Static Sites
I recently converted the OrbSWARM Blog and Mediawiki to static websites. Here is how I did it.
Download the entire wiki, minus the “Special” pages and “Help” pages
wget -k -p -r -R ‘*Special*’ -R ‘*Help*’ -E http://wiki.orbswarm.com/
-k –convert links – edit each page so the links on it link to the new static site instead of a website
-p –page-requisites – fetch all the support files too, like .css and javascript
-r –recursive – download the whole site, not just one file
-R –reject – don’t download pages with these names in them
-E –adjust-extension – make all files end in “.html”
Download the entire WordPress blog
wget -k -p -r -E http://blog.orbswarm.com/
Then just upload all those files to a web server!
