 * I spent a lot of time troubleshooting why this plugin didn’t work on WPEngine
   hosting.
 * As it turns off this plugin is disallowed on their system. I couldn’t get a reasoning
   behind this, but I’d guess it’s due to security and or performance issues querying
   between multisites.
 * This is more of just an informational update, rather than a support request.

 * So you have a “Professional” plan?

 * That is correct. I actually have a professional plan I use for my web development
   clients and my company uses a Premium plan for our company blogs.
 * I also tested the plugin with identical WP Installs on a Hostmonster and Localhost
   server environment with no issues. So it does seem that something WPEngine is
   doing does infact prevent the plugin from functioning.
 * Again, I couldn’t get their support team to tell me what they were doing to block
   it, or why the plugin was disallowed.

 * Interestingly enough the article the support team referenced doesn’t actually
   list your plugin.
 * [http://wpengine.com/support/disallowed-plugins/](http://wpengine.com/support/disallowed-plugins/)
 * I asked about that, and they said that a new, more complete list of disallowed
   plugins would be released in the near future.

 * As the person who maintains the WP Engine disallowed list, I can assure you that
   Multisite Language Switcher is _not_ on the list. So whoever told you that is
   extremely misinformed, Taylor.
 * Hope this helps clarify things!

 * Confirmed via WPEngine Twitter Support: [https://twitter.com/Taylor4484/status/413765872864346112](https://twitter.com/Taylor4484/status/413765872864346112)
 * Thanks [@boogah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boogah/) for the update,
   forgot I had posted this.
 * However it does seem there is an issue with the plugin while running on a Multisite
   with WPEngine. On the post edit screen the language post selectors show up, but
   don’t pull any posts, they are blank drop-downs.
 * I’ve tried the usual disable all plugins and revert to default theme. Haven’t
   had time to troubleshoot any further. I’ll see if there are any messages in the
   error logs and update.
 * The plugin works on a local mirror of the wp install that isn’t on WPEngine.

 * Interesting news! Thanks for pointing this out, [@boogah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boogah/)!
 * [@taylor4484](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taylor4484/) I don’t know anything
   about the environment at WPEngine so I can not help here. Please let me know 
   if there are any news.
