I am trying out changing webpage to static page type under template.

I don’t quite understand what the user manual meant by or how it defines EE rendering elements which are not allowed in static page.

For example, are the following allowed or not allowed?

{assign_variable:template_group="weblog"}
{site_url}
{stylesheet={template_group}/site_css}
{charset}
{path={template_group}/rss}
{path=site/forums}
{path=site/submit}

For static page, does it matter how long I set the cache to last (since the page is now static)?

P.J., static is no rendering elements. None of these will work with a static page.

An example of a static page would be something with a mailing address in it. Of course, in some instances you can have a global variable perform the same function.

It shouldn’t matter too much about the page caching. Let me check with the dev team about caching and static pages.

What about PHP code?

Can this be a static page if I only use PHP codes but none of the EE codes such as those I posted in the original post?

A static template means no HTML and no PHP.  It is as if the template was a .html template in the filesystem, outside of EE.

Template caching would still act the same.

If you need to use dynamic elements, “web page” is the best type to use.

Thanks, Lisa. 😉
