** This is not an official WP Engine plugin **
Remove confusion about staging on WP Engine.
Some WP Engine accounts have access to both Legacy Staging and the newer production, staging, and development environments. This can be confusing as each production, staging, and development environment can also have a Legacy Staging environment.
This plugin will only affect WP Engine accounts with access to Legacy Staging. It will remove the menu links to these Legacy Staging environments. It will not affect any Legacy Staging environments themselves.

Hide WP Engine Legacy Staging

Hide WP Engine's Legacy Staging links, to avoid confusion with the newer production, staging and development environments.

Since we’ve been using WPEngine we found no way to limit access to the LIVE website. We had problems with users mistakenly editing the live website and messing up the HTML. This plugin basically adds a checkbox to the users (allow login on LIVE) and compare the get_bloginfo(‘url’) to the one setup on the plugin’s setting page. If it matches, it means it’s live environment and will prevent users who are not specifically authorized to login into the live environment. You can bypass this check (in case you log yourself out of live) by setting up a simple cookie. This is not a security plugin, this is just to avoid stupid mistakes. The URL meta value is base64 encoded before storage to avoid the Search and Replace generally done by the “One Click” live push.

Staging Users Control

A plugin to prevent certain users from logging into the back-end in the LIVE environment. You can let your users edit staging but not live.
