Support

WP Engine offers excellent and knowledgeable customer support. We tested it multiple times over the phone and email throughout our testing and WP Engine’s representatives have always been able to answer our questions with expert advice. With how friendly and service-focused WP Engine is, it’s no wonder the company won a gold medal in customer service from the Stevie Awards.

The downside to WP Engine’s customer service is availability. Toll-free telephone support is only available during the working week, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST. WP Engine does offer 24/7 email and ticketing support, although it took almost six hours for someone to get back to us through email. If you have an immediate need, they do offer excellent 24/7 Live Chat support to its customers through the User Portal. In fact, they were willing to walk us through the entire setup process, from getting a satisfiable theme loaded on our WordPress website to even directing us to creating our first post.
