The value of static pages to me is when all else dies – the viewer can see something..

… but I somehow do not think I have reached this goal…

I want a dbase when I need a dbase – but I want (some) flat files to make sure something appears even if (and when)the sql dies.

Have tried various plugins etc… but cant get what I understand as a true flat html page….which i could then link to the wp/cms.

I have probably missed something along the way – and as I am naturally impatient – always looking for a short/quick solution. SO if Flatpress were able to provide this type of solution to me – I would be a delighted user

.. and thanks for the information I have gained to date.

Magoo

I do hope you are checking with the original authors to keep it updated. And most universities now host and support WordPress freely.

FlatPress is so easy to use and making a theme to match the look of the site took no time at all, very straightforward. It’s not as robust, functional and cool as WordPress, but I think it is great and easy to use, especially for cheaper hosting (as others mentioned) or for limited server privileges.

“Let me know how it handles with more content”

The current FP 0.703.6.2 work really fine and fast. It is small, compact and easy to use. It is possible to port WordPress themes to Flatpress and some plugins will also work with small adjustments.

I work with WordPress and Flatpress, but more with Flatpress. One points is, that I can easy transfer the content to my laptop, writing offline new entries and transfer it back if there is a connection to the web. With WordPress I need a database on my laptop and must import/export the content with many steps. Not so fine.

Aside from that, a new Flatpress version is now available as beta release. First impression, great :)

I think, the slowness all people tell, will come with more than 1000 entries and comments(Writing one entry every day in 3 years). But for all others it is a great alternative solution.

Galia! How wonderful to hear from you. I’m thrilled that FlatPress works for you. It’s a good endorsement. Let me know how it handles with more content and I’ll report on it. Wonderful!

And oh yeah, it’s on IIS and the only DB you can use is MS access (or pay extra for mssql/mysql while you’re already paying too much).
We can’t switch soon because we have a big event coming up, and we need news / comments.. So FP works so far, I activated it today and got some content in.
