SSG still requires a some webserver to host the files, can't just open it up locally from the file system without one
npx serve is recommended for locally testing
I assume you tested locally and it didn't work
Thanks Oleg, but no, as stated in the original post, I uploaded to my web server, and the links did not work.
you did something wrong, they should work
you can try it in that folder locally with npx serve .
I'm using Bluehost. My process was to export as "Vanilla", extract the files and upload them via FTP.
I haven't used bluehost, I assume they have a static file hosting that works the same way as every other
all static files are missing
Is it possible that WebStudio simply doesn't like that I've put all the files in a subfolder
if you changed the structure then obviously its gonna be broken
Why does webstudio assume that I'm going to be hosting my files from the root folder
there are downsides to relative paths as well
ideally you would just tell your webserver which folder to use
I can't tell for your hosting. Normally you have an option to decide where your root is
That's not the issue though, I have no intention of changing my root folder
I just want to host my webstudio files in a non-root folder
I do appreciate your help in isolating the issue, the answer is that webstudio expects to be run from the root folder.
But, I also think it would be useful to consider export options that create some flexibility for the end user, either by way of relative urls or changing what folder Webstudio expects its files to live.
Hi, is it possible to do the opposite? I have a zip file with a basic website, all working correctly on a static site hosting platform. Now I wish to import this over into Webstudio. Is this possible? Any help appreciated.
unfortunately currenlty importing random static websites into webstudio is not possible
Ahh, that's a shame. Was thinking it was an easier way to bring external sites in, rather than having to create them from scratch!
I have a Lifetime plan, so makes sense.
