Publishing docsKeep forms and search working on a static site
Static pages can’t run PHP. With Premium, Staatic handles forms and search, so they work without a reachable WordPress.
- The form plugins you already usePremium
- Contact Form 7, Divi, Gravity Forms and WPForms connect automatically. Any other HTML form works with a
data-staaticattribute. - Spam checks, then notificationsPremium
- Akismet and optional reCAPTCHA filter spam before anything reaches your inbox, autoresponder or Zapier.
- Search as you typePremium
- Visitors get suggestions as they type, in place of the WordPress search box, and a results page lists every match.
- Other live parts, with origin rulesStaatic Cloud
- Send one path, such as an API, to your own server, or to your WordPress with the always-on add-on. Every other page stays static.

How Staatic runs your WordPress and serves the static site.

Invite client collaborators on any paid plan. Each login can use two-step verification.
-
You at your agency Owner
Every site, the account and team, and closing or handing over the account
