When we move a site, the plugins you've been renewing every year get replaced with built-in equivalents that run on the same fast, edge-served infrastructure as the rest of your site. This is the working list — what's ready, what we're escalating, and what the platform handles natively.
Each row is one Embark replacement. The right column lists the WordPress plugins it understands when it imports your site — settings, content, and saved data carry over automatically.

Plugins large enough to need their own dedicated work. We’re building these on order — if your site uses one, tell us and it moves up the list.
None waiting.
These don’t need a port at all. The function exists, but it’s built into the hosting layer instead of a plugin you have to maintain.
| WordPress slug | Why no port is needed |
|---|---|
automatic-upload-images | WP-side authoring fixup tool (rehosts external images on save). Not needed post-migration — emdash media library + image-cdn handle uploads natively. |
google-language-translator | Client-side Google Translate widget — embed via standard <script> snippet in EmDash global head if needed; no port required. |
username-changer | Auth lives in EmDash; usernames editable via standard EmDash account UI. |
w3-total-cache | Cloudflare cache covers this — no plugin needed in EmDash |
wp-rocket | Cloudflare cache covers this — no plugin needed in EmDash |
wp-super-cache | Cloudflare cache covers this — no plugin needed in EmDash |
wpe_sign_on_plugin | WP Engine SSO; not migrated — auth flips to EmDash native |
wpe-cache-plugin | Cloudflare cache + Workers handle this at the infra layer |
