    WP Migrate, WP Offload Media, WP Offload SES, and Better Search Replace 
    are now part of the WP Engine family. Acquired from Delicious Brains.
    * WP Engine will honor ACF Pro lifetime licenses and has no plans 
        to change subscription prices for any of the plugins soon.
        Lifetime license holders will continue to get all ACF Pro software updates;
        license key will work just the same.
