StellarWP Black Friday 2026: No Sale Yet, 1 Package From $350

Where did the StellarWP deals go, and is there a StellarWP Black Friday sale this year? No sale is announced so far. StellarWP itself is gone too, because Liquid Web retired the brand in 2026.

That changes what you can buy. Kadence, LearnDash, Give and The Events Calendar now come as one yearly package, from $350 a year for 1 site. You can’t buy 1 of them alone, and the package has no sale price yet.

My advice for a new buyer is to wait until Black Friday week, because last year’s sales opened around November 24. If you already pay for LearnDash, Give or The Events Calendar, the date I’d watch is November 16. From that day, those subscriptions move into the package when they renew.

StellarWP Brands at a Glance

StellarWP was the group behind 9 WordPress brands. This is how Liquid Web sells each of them today, next to last year’s Black Friday offer:

Brand	How it’s sold today	Black Friday 2025
Give, formerly GiveWP	Inside the Nexcess Plugin Stack	30% off annual plans, as reported
Kadence	Inside the Nexcess Plugin Stack	30% off new plans and $150 off Lifetime Ultimate
The Events Calendar	Inside the Nexcess Plugin Stack	30% off
LearnDash	Inside the Nexcess Plugin Stack	30% off, from $139.30 a year
Orderable	On its own site, at $149 a year for Pro	30% off, as reported
IconicWP	Not sold on its own. Now Kadence Shop Kit	30% off, as reported
StellarSites	No sales page. Existing subscriptions continue	30% off monthly and 50% off annual plans, as reported
SolidWP	Not sold on its own. Now Kadence Security	30% off
MemberDash	Not sold on its own. Now part of LearnDash	30% off, as reported

Only 2 products have a price a new buyer can pay today: the package and Orderable Pro. Where a row says reported, the figure comes from a deal roundup, because that brand’s own sale page is gone.

Is There a StellarWP Black Friday Sale?

There isn’t one yet. Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27 and Cyber Monday on November 30, and this is where Liquid Web’s own pages stand:

• Offer: none is live or announced for any of the 9 brands.
• Product pages: the Kadence, LearnDash, Give and The Events Calendar pages show regular prices, with no sale banner or countdown.
• Checkout: the 1-site package sits in the cart at the full $350 a year.
• Old sale pages: StellarWP’s Black Friday page still shows the 2024 sale. The brands’ own sale pages are gone or redirect to regular pricing.
• Last year: the brand sales opened around November 24 and ended on December 2, 2025. Kadence’s sale page was up by November 19.

If Liquid Web discounts the package, I’d expect it to show on those product pages in the same window. That is my read of last year, and Liquid Web hasn’t confirmed a sale.

I’m not going to guess the discount. The package didn’t exist last Black Friday, so last year’s 30% doesn’t carry over in any reliable way. As a hypothetical, a repeat of 30% would bring the 1-site package from $350 to $245 a year.

So if you already know you’ll need an LMS, a donation platform or an events plugin next year, I’d wait for Liquid Web’s Black Friday news before buying.

The Nexcess Plugin Stack

The Nexcess Plugin Stack is the package Liquid Web sells to new buyers. Every plan includes the same 4 plugins, and the price depends only on the number of sites:

Sites	Price per year	Cost per site if you fill every slot
1 site	$350	$350
Up to 10 sites	$599	$59.90
Up to 25 sites	$799	$31.96
Up to 50 sites	$899	$17.98
Up to 100 sites	$999	$9.99

• Included: Kadence, LearnDash, Give and The Events Calendar, with every premium feature of each.
• No single product: Liquid Web doesn’t sell 1 of the 4 on its own.
• Billing: yearly only. New buyers get no monthly plan and no lifetime plan.
• First year: the cart shows no introductory discount, so the renewal is the same price.
• Site limits: a 1-site license can’t be split across sites. More than 100 sites needs a custom plan.
• Kadence Security: sold separately, and its paid price isn’t published on the package pages.
• Orderable: not part of the package.

The price per site only works when you fill the slots. For 1 site that needs 1 of these plugins, the entry price went up a lot. LearnDash for 1 site listed at $199 a year last November, and the same buyer pays $350 now.

What Changed in 2026

The family changed 4 times this year, and a 5th change starts on November 16:

• April: Nexcess became the parent brand over Liquid Web. The plugins on WordPress.org now list Nexcess as their author.
• May: Liquid Web announced one suite built on Kadence, LearnDash, The Events Calendar and Give. GiveWP became Give, SolidWP became Kadence Security, IconicWP became Kadence Shop Kit and MemberDash moved into LearnDash.
• Summer: each plugin sold in 3 tiers for a while. LearnDash listed at $259, $399 and $599 a year in August.
• October: a single package, priced only by site count, replaced the tiers.
• November 16: single-plugin subscriptions start moving into the package as they renew.

So StellarWP deals in the old form can’t return. Each brand used to run its own sale on its own site, and most of those sites now redirect to Liquid Web.

StellarWP Brands Today

This is where each brand stands, with what I liked about it and what I’d check before paying.

Give

Give is the donation and fundraising plugin that used to be called GiveWP. The paid version now comes only inside the package, and the free GiveWP plugin is still on WordPress.org.

What I like about Give:

• Forms that are built for donations from the start
• Recurring donations, fee recovery and donor management
• Reports that show which campaigns are working
• Integrations with the common payment gateways and email tools

Last Black Friday’s Give sale was reported at 30% off annual plans. For a tiny organization that needs 1 PayPal button, the package is overkill and I’d stay on the free plugin.

Kadence

Kadence is the theme and blocks plugin in the package. Theme Pro and Blocks Pro aren’t sold on their own anymore, and new buyers get no lifetime plan. The free theme and Kadence Blocks are still on WordPress.org.

• Black Friday 2025: 30% off new plans, $150 off Lifetime Ultimate and 25% off early renewals, until December 2.
• Existing licenses: yearly, lifetime and unlimited Kadence licenses don’t move to the package.

I used to like Kadence for its fast, clean theme and for block patterns that work with the block editor. I don’t recommend it anymore to someone who only needs a theme and blocks. My Kadence Black Friday page has the reasons and the alternatives I’d pick.

The Events Calendar

The Events Calendar handles calendars, events and ticketing. Events Calendar Pro, Event Tickets Plus and the add-ons now come only inside the package, and the free plugin is still on WordPress.org.

What works well with The Events Calendar:

• Many calendar views, including month, list, day and map
• Recurring events, complex schedules and categories
• Deep WordPress integration, with custom post types and taxonomies
• Tickets, RSVPs and virtual events, which used to be separate add-ons

Last year’s sale took 30% off from November 25 to December 2. On a large event site, I’d plan the hosting and caching first, because the calendar views can slow down.

LearnDash

LearnDash is a WordPress LMS for online courses, with lessons, quizzes, drip content, assignments and certificates. The plugin now comes only inside the package, and it has no free version.

Last Black Friday took 30% off the old LearnDash plans:

• 1 site: $199 a year, down to $139.30.
• 10 sites: $399 a year, down to $279.30.
• Unlimited sites: $799 a year, down to $559.30.

Why I like LearnDash:

• A complete LMS that doesn’t force you onto a hosted platform
• Integrations with WooCommerce, membership plugins, email tools and page builders
• A fit for small course sites as well as serious academies
• You own the platform and your data

The learning curve is real if you’re new to course platforms, and video-heavy courses need attention to performance. LearnDash Cloud, the hosted version, continues for existing subscribers and doesn’t move to the package.

Orderable

Orderable turns WooCommerce into an ordering system for restaurants, with menu layouts, time slots and product modifiers. It’s the one brand still sold on its own site.

• Price: Orderable Pro costs $149 a year for 1 site, and there’s a free plugin.
• Black Friday 2026: nothing on its homepage or pricing page yet.
• Past sales: 40% off Pro in 2024, and a reported 30% off in 2025.
• Refund: a 30-day money-back guarantee on Pro.

Orderable is worth a look because it’s designed for food ordering and charges no percentage fee on orders. You pay only your usual gateway fees. You still need solid hosting and a well-tuned WooCommerce setup for busy hours.

IconicWP

IconicWP made WooCommerce plugins for product swatches, quick views, custom fields and bundles. It hasn’t been sold on its own since May 2026, and Liquid Web now presents it as Kadence Shop Kit.

• Existing subscriptions: run unchanged.
• Security patches: retiring tools get critical patches through April 2027.
• Past sales: 40% off bundles in 2024, and a reported 30% off in 2025.
• Not clear: Liquid Web’s pages don’t say plainly that the package license includes Shop Kit.

What I liked about IconicWP was that each plugin solved a specific problem for store owners. If Shop Kit is your reason to buy the package, I’d ask Liquid Web to confirm it’s included first.

StellarSites

StellarSites was hosted WordPress with Kadence design tools and SolidWP security built in. Its sales pages are gone, so a new buyer has nothing to buy this Black Friday.

• Existing subscriptions: continue and don’t move to the package.
• Black Friday 2025: reported at 30% off monthly plans and 50% off annual plans.

I liked StellarSites for people who didn’t want to choose a host, a theme and a security plugin separately. For managed hosting from the same company, my Liquid Web Black Friday page tracks its hosting sale.

SolidWP

SolidWP sold security, backup and site management plugins. Liquid Web now lists them as Kadence Security, Kadence Backups and Kadence Central, and none is sold under the Solid name.

• Kadence Security: free on WordPress.org. The paid version is sold separately from the package.
• Existing Solid plans: renew as before and don’t move to the package.
• Past sales: 40% off annual products in 2024 and 30% off in 2025.

Security and backups are boring until something goes wrong. I’d still set up both on any site that earns money, whichever plugin you choose.

MemberDash

MemberDash was the membership plugin for gated content and paid communities. It’s now part of LearnDash, so it comes with the package.

• Old plans: its page still lists Pro at $399 and Elite at $599 a year, but the buy links say those plans are no longer available.
• Past sales: 40% off in 2024, and a reported 30% off in 2025.

MemberDash was interesting because it was built with courses and protected content in mind. If memberships are all you need, my list of the best WordPress membership plugins has options that don’t need a $350 package.

Existing Customers and November 16

Liquid Web is retiring single-plugin subscriptions as they renew. This is who moves to the package and who doesn’t:

• Moves: LearnDash, The Events Calendar and Give subscriptions, at the next renewal on or after November 16, 2026.
• Doesn’t move: Kadence subscriptions, IconicWP, Restrict Content Pro, the former Solid products, StellarSites and LearnDash Cloud.
• Also exempt: unlimited-site and lifetime licenses, The Events Calendar Multisite and accounts with more than 100 licenses.
• Until renewal: your current rate holds until the term ends.
• Auto-renewal: you can turn it off before the renewal date.
• If it lapses: the plugins keep working, but updates, support and security patches stop. A lapsed subscription was reported to come back only as the package.

In May, Liquid Web described the move to the new suite as optional. Its October town hall changed that for these 3 plugins.

This is the order I’d follow if you hold one of these subscriptions:

1. Your renewal date: it decides if the change reaches you this year or next.
2. The package price for your site count: I’d put it next to what you pay now.
3. Auto-renewal: I’d switch it off while you decide, if the new price doesn’t fit.
4. The free versions: Give and The Events Calendar have free plugins that may cover a simple site.

StellarWP Black Friday Sales by Year

Until 2025, StellarWP deals came brand by brand. Each one ran its own sale on its own site, and StellarWP’s page was an index of them:

Year	Offer	Dates
2022	Up to 40% off all brands	November 21 to 29
2023	40% off The Events Calendar with a code. The other brands’ offers aren’t confirmed	Black Friday week
2024	Up to 40% off. Give was 30% off, and most other brands were 40% off with a code	November 26 or 27 to December 3 for most brands
2025	30% off at each brand. Kadence added $150 off Lifetime Ultimate	About November 24 to December 2
2026	Nothing announced	Not announced

The 2025 discount is confirmed for LearnDash, The Events Calendar, SolidWP and Kadence. For Give, Orderable, IconicWP and MemberDash, it was reported by a deal roundup.

The discount also got smaller, from 40% at most brands in 2024 to 30% in 2025. So the trend was already down before Liquid Web merged the brands.

The Fine Print

These are the terms I’d read before paying:

• Refund: the terms conflict. The package cart shows a 7-day guarantee, and Liquid Web’s LearnDash and Kadence policy pages still say 30 days.
• Free trial: none for the package. The Give, LearnDash and The Events Calendar pages offer a free 48-hour hosted demo, with no card needed.
• Renewal: yearly, at list price, with a reminder 30 days before the charge. Kadence’s terms also allow a price increase at renewal.
• Without renewal: the plugins keep working, but support, updates and security patches stop.
• Past sale rules: the 2024 discounts were for new purchases only and couldn’t be combined with other offers.
• Student or nonprofit discount: none listed.

The refund window is the term I’d settle first. My advice is to get it confirmed by Liquid Web’s support in writing before you pay. The gap between 7 days and 30 days matters when you’re testing 4 plugins.

Ways to Pay Less Without a Sale

With no sale announced, these are the ways to spend less on the same plugins:

• Free plugins: GiveWP, The Events Calendar, Event Tickets, the Kadence theme, Kadence Blocks, Kadence Security, Kadence Memberships and Orderable are free on WordPress.org.
• Your current license: existing Kadence licenses, lifetime included, stay as they are.
• Full slots: on the 25-site plan, each site costs $31.96 a year when all 25 are in use.
• Not available: monthly billing, a lifetime plan or a single-plugin plan for new buyers.

LearnDash has no free version, so a course site that only needs an LMS pays the full package price.

FAQs on StellarWP Black Friday

What I’d Do

If you’re a new buyer who needs 2 or more of these plugins, I’d wait until the week of November 23 and look at the package price then. Waiting costs nothing, because today’s price is the full $350.

If you need only 1 of them, I’d try the free version or an alternative first. $350 a year is hard to justify for 1 plugin on 1 site.

If you already pay for LearnDash, Give or The Events Calendar, I’d find your renewal date before November 16. For the sales that are confirmed, there’s my WordPress Black Friday deals page.
