# What works with WranglePress

WranglePress is made for sites where **every visitor sees the same pages**: business sites, portfolios, blogs, local services, nonprofits, landing pages and old sites that just need to stay up.

## Works as is

| What | Notes |
|---|---|
| Any theme | Including the block editor, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks and classic themes |
| Pages, posts, categories, tags, archives | All copied, with the same web addresses |
| Images, fonts, styles and scripts | Copied with the pages, including the image sizes your pages use |
| Sitemaps, RSS feeds, robots.txt and your 404 page | Copied and kept up to date |
| Redirects you set up in WordPress® | Followed during the copy |
| Things that run in the browser | Sliders, galleries, YouTube, maps, analytics, chat widgets, cookie banners, booking widgets like Calendly |
| SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math and others) | Their titles, descriptions and sitemaps are in the pages we copy |

## Works with a setting

| What | How |
|---|---|
| Contact forms | Contact Form 7 and WPForms directly; most simple forms too. Choose email or forward mode. Test on the preview |
| Form plugin features (saved entries, CRM or Mailchimp links) | Use forward mode, so submissions reach your private WordPress (needs WordPress kept, not retired) |
| Scheduled posts | Published when WordPress publishes them, if the connector plugin is installed. On a private WordPress, ask your host for a real cron job so they publish on time |

## Doesn't work yet

| What | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Shop checkout and carts (WooCommerce) | Every shopper sees something different | Keep shops on normal hosting for WordPress |
| Member areas, course logins, password-protected pages | They need a logged-in visitor | Not a fit today |
| WordPress's built-in search | It runs a database query per search | A search box that sends visitors to Google, or a hosted search widget |
| WordPress comments | New comments need PHP | A comment service like Disqus, or turn comments off |
| Pages that load more items from WordPress as you scroll or filter | They call WordPress live | Use normal pagination where you can |

**Not sure?** Start a free trial and run a build. It doesn't change your live site, and the preview shows you exactly what the copy looks like.

## Sites that aren't WordPress

WranglePress was made for WordPress, but it copies **any website that shows every visitor the same pages**: Joomla, Drupal, Craft, sites from older website builders, and hand-built sites. What's different:

| | |
|---|---|
| Updating the copy | Click **Build now** after you change the site, or ask your AI assistant. Automatic rebuilds on publish need the WordPress plugin |
| Finding pages | We follow your links and `sitemap.xml` |
| Forms | Simple forms that post back to the same site work in email mode. Test on the preview |
| Doesn't work | Pages your browser builds with JavaScript after loading, and page addresses ending in `.php` |

## Limits

- Up to 5,000 pages and 25,000 files per site per build.
- Forms relay text fields. Files attached to a form aren't kept or sent (the email says so).
- To remove a site, first point its domain somewhere else: removal waits until the domain no longer points at WranglePress.
- One build at a time per site. Most sites build in a minute or two.
- Form submissions are kept for 30 days in your dashboard.
