What you want to review Where to go
Publication currently running Open the Staatic menu in the WordPress admin bar and choose Publication Status.
Active live publication Open the Staatic menu in the WordPress admin bar and choose Live Publication Details.
Past publications Open Staatic > Publications in the WordPress admin menu.

The Staatic menu in the admin bar while a publication runs: Publication Status and Cancel Publication in place of the publish actions.
The Staatic menu in the admin bar with Live Publication Details under the pointer, above how long ago the live publication ran.
The Latest Publications list: each publication with its date, publisher, type and status with time taken, the newest marked as the active publication and one as a preview, under filters by status.

The publications list shows the publication date, publisher, type, and status. You can filter by status, including pending, in progress, finished, canceled, and failed publications.

Staatic keeps publication records for seven days by default. The current publication, latest publication, active live publication, and active preview publication are protected from automatic cleanup and may remain longer.

Publication summary

The Summary tab shows the main outcome of a publication:

  • who started it;
  • publication type;
  • status;
  • time taken, including crawl and deployment time when available;
  • resource count, redirects, and failures;
  • destination URL;
  • a short log summary.

A publication's Summary tab: who published it, type, status, time taken for crawling and deployment, resources with redirects and failures, destination URL and the first lines of the log summary.

For an in-progress publication, the summary page also shows live publication status. Refresh the page to see the latest information if the status does not update.

Publication resources

The Resources tab lists the pages and assets Staatic found while crawling WordPress.

A publication's Resources tab sorted by URL: each URL with its HTTP status code, redirect URL, MIME type, size and the page it was found on, under filters by status class and a search box.

Use this page when content is missing or unexpected on the static site. Check whether the URL appears in the resources list, which HTTP status code it received, whether it redirected, which MIME type and size were recorded, and which page first linked to it.

You can filter resources by HTTP status category and search the list. Clicking the Size value downloads an individual resource.

Publication logs

The Logs tab lists publication events with message, level, and date.

A publication's Logs tab: messages with their level and date, under filters by level, a search box and the Export button.

Use logs when a publication fails, stalls, or produces failed resources. You can filter by log level, search messages, and export logs as JSON. Users with settings-management permissions can see more detailed failure information.

Download, redeploy, or delete

The Staatic > Publications list provides actions for past publications:

Action Use it for
Details Open the Summary, Resources, and Logs tabs for a publication.
Download Download all generated resources as a zip archive.
(Re)deploy Deploy an existing publication again without crawling WordPress again. This action appears only after crawling has finished.
Delete Remove an old publication record and its related data. Current, latest, active live, and active preview publications cannot be deleted from this list.

Redeploy uses the existing crawled build. Use a new publication instead when WordPress content, templates, redirects, assets, or settings that affect generated output have changed.
