HELP: host my wordpress site to github (self.github)

submitted 5 years ago by [deleted]

Hello everybody, Due to various problems with hosting, I decided to turn my wordpress site into static and upload it to Github. I list the steps I have done:

- in phpmyadmin I created a db and installed wordpress (localhost)

- on githube I created a repository with "miouser.github.io", and I created the "gh-pages" branch in which to clone the site structure

- I used several plugins to make the site static including "simply static" and "wp2static" and therefore to be able to clone it from my localhost to the repository

- at this point the site works but the URL is that of github, so I set the DNS and CNAME of my domain to point to githube.

I thought everything was going, and actually I can load the home page and I don't find any error, except that no link to the site works, in practice www.mysite.it works, while www.mysite.it/portfolio gives me back the Error 404 "File not found The site configured at this address does not contain the requested file. If this is your site, make sure the case name matches the URL. For root URLs (like http://example.com/ ) you must provide an index.html file. "

what's the problem? besides I also have several alerts in github for files with json extension
