When using the <a href="http://support.wpengine.com/staging/" rel="nofollow ugc">Staging site</a> on WP Engine, you may want to prevent the staging version of your site from sending emails to your site users. This plugin redirects all emails to the site admin.
This plugin should be activated on your Production site. Don’t worry — it won’t do anything unless it is active on Staging site. Once you create a new copy of your Staging site, the plugin will start taking effect there.
This plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite. If you’re using it in a Multisite environment, it is recommended to either Network Activate the plugin, or follow the instructions for installing it to the <code>mu-plugins</code> directory.

Redirect Emails on Staging

Redirect any emails that are sent by the staging site to the administrator of the site.

Pods Alternative Cache provides optimal performance with Pods sites on hosts with no object caching or low limits. It was developed for and tested on the WPEngine platform to improve performance of cached objects generated from Pods, but it works on numerous other hosting providers.
Pods Alternative Cache is a great addition to a site already utilizing Object Caching, it further separates and allows Pods to utilize more consistent persistent caching without affecting other plugins and WordPress caching objects. Especially when utilizing larger configurations, this plugin improves performance by ensuring other necessary objects are not removed by the server to make room for Pods cached objects.
This plugin requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/" rel="ugc">Pods Framework</a> version 2.4 or later to run.
For more information on how to use this plugin, see <a href="https://pods.io/2014/04/16/introducing-pods-alternative-cache/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://pods.io/2014/04/16/introducing-pods-alternative-cache/</a>.

Pods Alternative Cache

A site we built was totally grinding to a halt on our BlueHost shared hosting account when we started getting traffic over a few hundred sessions. Other caching options weren't working and Pods Alt Cache did the trick! After setting up the cache parameters, it very quickly resolved the issue. Great file-based solution for server configurations that don't offer customized control over object/mem caching.



Fantastic!


PODS itself is great, this looks like crap, the only thing it seems to do is prevent proper editing of "POD Pages" as the template selection and other fields are gone!


Removes Pod Page Template Field!

Pods Alternative Cache is a file-based or database-based caching solution for hosts that have limitations on object caching.
