Simply static/accessing file system from WP/Local

Hi there, I am trying to export the WP site to a static set of files using this plugin called Simply Static (http://www.simplystatic.co/) and it requires me to provide the path on the filesystem to export the files to. It currently fails though the path exists and the plugin (when running WP using AMPPS) can export the site with no problems.

So, I’m guessing this is due to some containerization. Could you guide me on which folders are accessible from WP and how I would refer to them?

Cheers

I figured this out and thought I’d post back in case someone else was wondering the same thing…

/app is the parent of the ‘public’ folder. This becomes evident when you use the volumes (https://github.com/getflywheel/local-addon-volumes) add on.

On Mac/WPLocal/Simply Static the path to a directory goes wrong if there is a space in the path somewhere. This is likely to happen as “Local Sites” is WPLocal’s default directory.
