WordPress: Banned Plug-ins

In order to provide a higher level of performance for all users, the public LAMP platform will not allow the use of the WordPress plugins listed below.  If you install any of these plugins in your WordPress installation, they will automatically be removed.  The public LAMP account owner will be notified when a banned plugin is detected and removed.  Attempts to circumvent the removal process could result in the account’s website being permanently removed from public LAMP.

Visit WP Engine's Disallowed Plugins site to view the most up-to-date list of banned plugins.
