How to do the thing

1. Make a list of every page on a website (eg with screaming frog), seperated by new lines.

   • List must be only to the pages, no assets or external links
   • Avoid having duplicates, either by different protocol or with/without trailing slash

2. Edit script convert.js function init to point to your list, and give it the base url of your site.

3. node convert.js will start it running, default output is to _pages/

That's it for the converter. Other steps for putting together website:

4. Drag created folder into your Jekyll project, update config as relevant.

5. You may want to clean the data a little. A handy regex to replace is \n?.*searchitem?.*\n replace with \n - this will delete the entire line containing, for example wp-emoji-release

6. Copy all used assets from live site into your project. The easiest way to do this is create a list of all assets using screaming frog and save it in a text, then from the command line run wget -x --force-directories -i list.txt it will copy the directories as well.

Gotchas

Weird problems you might run into and what to do about them.

• Any asset files with a ? or # will cause netlify to fail to build. e.g. pagenavi-css.css?ver=2.70 to fix, just remove them and everything after, then do a find and replace in your files to update them.

• the conversion will currently fail if there's unexpected input, such as a blank line
