  Hello,

  I create a static website from WordPress using a plugin Simply Static but this plugin doesn’t work with Jetpack galleries and all my photos became not clickable on static.
  What plugin or anything else need to use to make Jetpack galleries work on static?

  Thanks.

  Hello,

  The websites are private and I don’t want to share them on public forum. Could you send me a link that I show this to staff only?
  Thanks

  Hi there!

  I understand. We might be unable to view the site as well if it’s private. But more importantly, it sounds like the issue is specific to the Jetpack plugin on a self-hosted WordPress.org site conflicting with another plugin (Simply Static). For this kind of issue, we recommend posting on the Jetpack support forum instead.

  On this forum, we generally help with WordPress.com sites that we host. Please post on the Jetpack support forum, and the Jetpack support team will be happy to investigate.

  Thanks!

  Hello,

  Jetpack galleries are working on WordPress but they are stop to work when I convert WordPress in static.using Simply Static plugin. On Simply Static plugin forum were indicated that this issue would be addressed in the future but don’t clarify when it would happened. Could you recommend me an another plugin or some procedure converting WordPress side in static pages that possible would keep functionality galleries?
  Should I still provide link to not private website that show the Jetpack galleries stop to work in the static pages?

  Thanks.

  Why do you want to convert a fast wordpress.com site to a slower and problematic static html site?

  Jetpack only works on a wordpress driven site, not on a static html site as several functions are missing.

  People ask me to make for them websites similar that I’ve done for myself. I could do websites for them but I don’t want to be responsible for regular WordPress and plugins updating . Static websites would serve this purpose. Simple Static plugin is sort of working but not on Jetpack galleries yet.

  Do you know any plugin or some setting(s) on WordPress side that could convert WordPress side into static pages and could keep functionality(clickable pictures) Jetpack galleries?

  Thanks.
