Hey C4L,
If I wanted to archive a Wordpress site, how would I do so?
More elaborate: our library recently got a "donation" of a remote Wordpress
site, sitting one directory below the root of a domain. I can tell from a
cursory look it's a Wordpress site. We've never archived a website before
and I don't need to do anything fancy, just download a workable copy as it
presently exists. I've heard this can be as simple as:
wget -m $PATH_TO_SITE_ROOT
but that's not working as planned. Wget's convert links feature doesn't
seem to be quite so simple; if I download the site, disable my network
connection, then host locally, some 20 resources aren't available. Mostly
images which are under the same directory. Possibly loaded via AJAX. Advice?
(Anticipated) pertinent advice: I shouldn't be doing this at all, we should
outsource to Archive-It or similar, who actually know what they're doing.
Yes/no?
Best,
Eric
