We are using SimplyStatic (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/) for genrating a static site from WordPress. It has many options which make genrating and deplying a static site with WordPress easy.
Wow, I think this has the most potential. I'm a fan of simplicity. I downloaded a theme, made a few edits and ran this plugin, and so far so good as a POC.
This is faster than having to learn Pelican and even those other systems which might also be great, but a bit heavy weight for my purposes.
Thank you, this might be the solution I was looking for.
Thanks for posting the static site plugin. I was looking for something like this. I've been using Wordpress forever and wanted something for personal use, but didn't want to host a public version of Wordpress.
If you want to host site on S3 you can use the fork of Simply Static https://github.com/kennu/simply-static-s3
