 * Hello,
 * Do you know if this works with wpengine?

 * I don’t know as I don’t have a WP Engine account.
 * Generating a certificate should work on almost any host (as long as filesystem
   permissions are setup correctly), however the more crucial part is including 
   the certificate in your server configuration. This is only possible if you have
   full access to the configuration – which I doubt WP Engine would be granting,
   but who knows.

 * WPEngine has started rolling out support through their own proprietary panel 
   to support automated installation and renewal of Let’s Encrypt SSL certs. The
   functionality showed up for me last week.

 * The plugin is aimed at handling Let’s Encrypt and SSL on its own, so it’s not
   integrating with any other 3rd party services. There are quite a few hosting 
   providers, so it would be close to impossible to accomodate everyone – in addition
   several of those systems are “locked” so they don’t even allow integration.
 * Have you tested the plugin on WP Engine? As described in the readme, it requires
   access to server configuration, and I doubt that WP Engine grants you this (just
   an assumption, I might be wrong). If the plugin works on your hosting, that’s
   great, otherwise I would encourage you to use their service – although I’m grateful
   for your interest in this plugin. 🙂

 * You’re right, Felix. WP Engine does not allow server configuration access. That
   means this plugin will not work on a WP Engine account.
 * All hope is not lost, OP. As [@4briang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/4briang/)
   said, WPE is rolling out Let’s Encrypt access to all customers. You may have 
   the ability to use it already.
 * To find out if you do, log into the WPE user portal, select your install, and
   then click the “SSL” link. From there, click the blue button labeled “Add SSL
   Certificates” and see if Let’s Encrypt is an option.
 * Hope this helps!
