I’m making a note of this for my own future reference.<\/p>\n

As a premise, you need the blog to have pretty permalinks<\/a>. There might be a way to make wget<\/code> handle those http:\/\/site.com\/blog\/?p=123<\/code> -type URLs so that they can be viewed offline, but for me the easiest way around this was to simply switch to the Day and name<\/code> option in Settings → Permalinks<\/code>. That way individual posts will have URLs ending in slashes, resulting in the content being saved to a good old index.html<\/code> inside a subdirectory, in the local copy.<\/p>\n

So obviously, if you’re mirroring someone else’s blog, whose settings you don’t have access to, and which doesn’t<\/em> use pretty permalinks, you’ll have to find another way to make the downloaded filenames work.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, you’re good to go: fire up wget like this:
wget --convert-links --mirror --no-parent --no-host-directories http:\/\/site.com\/blog\/<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
