Cannot force to include wp-json content

[wrobelda]

I am trying to export a website that includes jQuery, which in turn reads content from wp-json, e.g. wp-json/wp/v2/pages/15

The log file insists to exclude the wp-json, which I wasn't even able to understand from your commit history the reasoning behind, but either way I attempted to forcefully include them.

On the settings page it is said next to "Exclude" section that

This will be applied after any exclusions, in case you want to exclude a whole directory, then include just one file from it."

Yet they still get excluded:

Exclusion rules wp-json
Excluding /wp-json/wp/v2/pages/30 because of rule wp-json
Excluding /wp-json/wp/v2/pages/15 because of rule wp-json

EDIT: I copied the exported JSON files manually yet the content is still not showing up on the site, so I presume the issue is elsewhere. FYI I am using Lay Theme.

Hi @wrobelda, sorry for my slow response!

There was a hard-coded exclusion for wp-json in V6, with it having been or going to be removed/made optional in V7.

Quick fix in V6 would be to comment out the line of code that's doing that excluding (I believe just in the FilesHelper.php class.

However, it will depend on how the theme is relying on it as to whether it will then work on the generated static site.

If it's just spitting out rendered JSON, and we can include those URLs for the Crawling phase, then it should work. I can't dive into testing the LayTheme (came here from your forum mention I finally got to!) right now, but when I do, it would be with version 7 of WP2Static, as development's all focused there now.

Keeping this issue to come back to. If you discover anything else in the meantime, please add.

Cheers,

Leon

@wrobelda this is now not forcefully excluded within the plugin for this master branch of the plugin.

Export log for TwentyTwenty now shows

200       /wp-json/   Note: discovered on: / 	
400       /wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed   Note: discovered on: / 	

which should allow for your custom JSON page endpoints to work again.

This will be available to use in next release
