A legal conflict is currently playing out between WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine that may continue to negatively impact WP Engine customers and the performance of their websites. More details here for those interested. Important for WP Engine users is that this has off-and-on impacted the availability of downloads and updates of WordPress themes and plugins.
We’d like to offer assistance to any users impacted by this series of events. Our offer is not an endorsement of Matt’s actions or a disparagement of the WP Engine platform, but a necessary response to an unfortunate reality.

Just Find New Hosting
If you’re not ready to spring for Sterner Stuff’s full care package, we can still help you move off of WP Engine. And we’re offering that for free.
We recommend our partners at Kinsta and their excellent hosting platform. While working with them directly won’t come with all the bells and whistles of our managed WordPress hosting offering, it remains a fantastic hosting solution on its own.
You might say “Why would you offer help with this for free?” Great question. Here’s what we get out of it:
If you sign up for Kinsta’s service, they will migrate your site to their platform for free, just for being a new customer.
Here at Sterner Stuff, we’re Kinsta affiliate partners, so if you follow one of our affiliate links to sign up for their hosting, we get a small commission payment every time you pay Kinsta. For that, we’ll help with any technical things to be done on your end during the migration of your site.
