👋 Hi! We're Nexcess

Kadence | LearnDash | The Events Calendar | Give

Our story

These products started life as StellarWP, the family of WordPress plugins built and supported by Liquid Web. In 2026, the StellarWP brand was retired, and its plugins — Kadence, The Events Calendar, LearnDash, and Give — were brought directly under Liquid Web. Today they're offered as software by Nexcess, the specialty-cloud brand that unifies Liquid Web's managed hosting and WordPress software under one name.

StellarWP → Liquid Web → Nexcess. Same trusted plugins and people, one home.
