Converting Wordpress -> PHP

[Haynesey]

How difficult would changing an entire 100+ page site be?

Is there a simple way? Really not looking forward to copy and pasting meta tags etc.

Anybody done this before?

Thanks,
Haynesey

You could use a tool like:

PageSucker Homepage

(I've never used that before, I can't recall the old app I used to use...it'll come to me!).

That will essentially save out all the pages into html/css.

You'd want to leverage PHP to call in templatable elements like navigation, header, footer. This would need to be done after the fact and then use php includes on all pages where you want to call in the element.

It isn't really hard, just time consuming.

What is the rationale for moving from Wordpress?

If it is site speed you could use a plugin like WP Super Cache to create static pages to serve up to your visitors:

Thanks will check that site out

I'm just finding it hard to find a high quality wordpress coder who can turn one of my sites in to a "true" cms. With features such as rollovers and different things I would like.

It dosent madder if it's a wordpress or a static site, same shit when it comes to the visuals (html/css/Jquery etc)

Is there something specific you need help with if you decide to stay with WP?

I didn't know you could do all the visuals within wordpress. Thats made me reconsider...

WP,jomla etc, they all need html/css, without it ppl cant see the site, unless you go for like a java site or whatever. the swedish site in my sign is Wordpress forexample.

Haynessy - you can implement all the jquery stuff on wordpress - mostly no problems at all.

Occasionally get some core and theme conflicts but more often with plugins.

The most obvious problem is that you need to change the way it calls the jquery functions. Normally to implement a jQuery function you would use a command like:

"jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$(somfeunction.
});"

The "$" needs to be changed to "jQuery" for them to work, so :

"jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery(somfeunction.
});"
