Export Scope

Export scope lives on Plugin Settings. Think of it as the guest list for the photocopier. Unticking a type only stops new writes. Files from the old selection stay on disk and keep being served until you Full Rebuild with Clear existing static files.

That last sentence saves more support tickets than any other.

Target Content Types

Individual published entries — one HTML file per item. Unselected types stay live WordPress. Defaults: Post and Page.

Public, publicly queryable post types appear as chips (with published counts). Attachments are never exportable (they are files, not pages). Custom types from deactivated plugins are ignored when Tivlo collects URLs — if the plugin is off, those posts are not on the guest list.

Target Archive Pages

The listing URL for each post type that declares an archive (for example a “Projects” index). Only types you already export can have an archive. The blog index is a Site Page (Posts Page), not this list.

Target Taxonomy Archives

One page per term for the taxonomies you select — categories, tags, and any custom taxonomies you tick. The number on each chip is how many terms currently have content. Defaults: category and post_tag.

Site Pages

Standalone routes that are not “one post” or “one term”:

The 404 document is written as 404.html at the static root. Tivlo serves it for missing URLs, and static hosts recognize the same filename. One 404 for everyone — which is what a brochure site wants.

Extra Archive Pages

Extra Archive Pages (archive_pagination_depth, default 0) exports only the first page of each archive unless you raise the depth. /page/2/ and beyond then fall through to WordPress. Raising it multiplies build size. Most sites can leave this at 0 and sleep well.

Never Export These Paths

One path per line, relative to the site root. A matching path is never exported and never served from an older build. A trailing * matches partial segments.

thank-you
members/*

Use this for “please do not freeze this” pages: thank-you screens, member areas, anything that should always be live PHP.

Excluded Automatically

When WooCommerce is active, these pages are hard-excluded (per-visitor content and short-lived security tokens), whatever else you select:

• Cart
• Checkout
• My account
• View order
• Edit address
• Logout

The list shows titles with the reason WooCommerce page with per-visitor content. Developers can extend IDs via tivlo_ssg_hard_excluded_post_ids.

Estimated Export Size

Counts what the current selection (including unsaved changes) would export. It is a preview, not a contract — if someone publishes a post while you stare at the number, the real build can differ.
