Wordpress CPU and RAM usage stats and slow plugin warnings
I would like to see the CPU and RAM usage by Wordpress applications.
I would also like to see a warning about slow php scripts, which would help to catch Wordpress plugins that use too many resources.

Improvements for Wordpress Toolkit
Disable the built-in code editor adding define('DISALLOWCODEEDIT', true); in wp-config.php
Anonymize login error message because it actually tells you what is wrong (the username or the password), hooking into loginerrors with addfilter('login_errors, function() { return 'Login error'; });
Apply permission 400 (-rw-------) to wp-config.php
Change login URL avoiding the standard /wp-login.php or /wp-admin/ (pre)installing plugin "Lockdown WP Admin" or applying the same idea.
Block brute force (pre)installing plugin "Limit Login Attempts" or applying the same idea.
Mentioned plugins may be installed by default when Wordpress is installed through the APS, and may be added as an…

Woocommerce Plesk Integration
What should this integration do?
- it should allow the sale of hosting subscriptions using a Woocommerce,
- it should be compatible with the Subscriptions plugin to charge monthly or annual payment. (https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/)Why You may want this integration?
- If you use Wordpress, it will be a simple and quick way to implement the payment for your hosting services.

Allow Wordpress Scan to search for a custom directory name instead of wp-content
I habitually rename my wp-contents directory for security reasons (as part of iThemes Security). As a result Plesk no longer recognises the Wordpress installations on the server, when scanning so I'm unable to take advantage of Plesk's Wordpress features.
Please could this be modified to allow me to specify a custom name for my wp-contents directory?
22 votesThis looks like a valid feature, so we’ll see when we can implement it. Please continue voting if this feature is important for you, so we can prioritize feature accordingly.

Custom labels in WP Toolkit
This idea was already mentioned on: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/39722035-custom-labels-in-wp-toolkit-and-additional-filteri
And to give some ideas of what custom labels could be added:
- managed / unmanaged
- notes about who manages the site
- notes about special environments besides production / staging / ...It would be less work to not have to look up these informations for each site and be able to just add a short custom label. For us these labels do not need to be filtered, but it would be a nice-to-have to have this addition like described in the original thread.
21 votesIt’s pretty clear what scenarios are expected to be covered by custom labels. We’ll look into extending the labels functionality in the next WPT releases.

WordPress plugin restoration point
Would be great to have WordPress plugins to be able to have restoration points on a plugin upgrade basis and not only for WordPress major upgrades.
This way, WordPress plugins can be managed individually with more control over them.
20 votesWe’d like to introduce this feature, but we’ll have to solve certain technical difficulties first (for example, properly handle cases where database structure is updated by a plugin and you want to roll the changes back). We’re positive that we can overcome these difficulties, though.

WHMCS module for WordPress Toolkit
Is it possible to have an WHMCS module created exclusively for WordPress Toolkit, in order to allow clients to use it's options from within WHMCS's client areas?
Basically have clients don't leave WHMCS client areas and perform some actions from within their WHMCS client account (add new site if set multiple WordPress installs in hosting package, backup and restore, install let's encrypt ssl, activate/deactivate nginx, remove site, creati staging site etc...).

Support Wordpress multi-site network in WP toolkit
It's a useful for me, to manage all my sites in one wp instance, using 3rd level domains, like mydomain.com, forum.mydomain.com, shop.mydomain.com, catalog.mydomain.com, etc.
19 votesHi Jeremy,
WP Toolkit supports WordPress multi-site if you enable the multi-site feature manually. However, it seems to make sense for us to provide an option of creating a multi-site WP instance upon the installation. Let us know if this will help you out.

Different notification settings for available WordPress updates: Plugin, Theme or WordPress core
Email notifications to customers are sent on every available WordPress update, that's far too much. My clients don't take them for important anymore and don't update at all. I suggest to fine tune available settings in Tools & Settings > Notifications > APS application updates (customer’s digest): Different notification options if the available update is a WordPress Core update, a plugin update or a theme update. So for example the plugin and theme update notification could be turned off for customers, but WordPress core update notifications would be still sent.
Another suggestion would be an option to cutomize the FREQUENZY…

Be able to enable all security options from WordPress Toolkit on all instances via CLI
Be able to enable all security options recommended by the WordPress Toolkit on all instances via CLI so that it would save customers' time as they would not need to login to the Panel and select all of them manually on all instances.

Our goal is to have all WordPress Toolkit operations available via CLI, so your request is something we’d like to do in the near future.

Wordpress Toolkit - URL switch (main URL <=> preview URL)
Hello,
I would like to suggest something which could be VERY helpfull to customers which are moving their Wordpress instances between servers. Lets say you have domain.com on Server1. Then you are moving it to Server2 with Plesk and Wordpress Toolkit but domain.com is still pointing to Server1. Issue with Wordpress is that if you don't use main URL then all media files (css, images etc) are not being loaded correctly and customer can't be sure if everything will work correctly when he switch DNS settings for domain.com from Server1 to Server2.
My suggestion is that it would be great…

Wordpress Toolkit favoritism and filtering
Currently the Wordpress Toolkit interface is a bit messy with all the Wordpress instances of you and your customers.
It would be great if there would be the possibility so that you can mark and filter for certain Wordpress instances. Marking with stars could make it possible that the most important Wordpress instances always appear on the top and can be checked for updates and security issues very quickly.11 votes -
Implement VersionPress as part of your WordPress Toolkit. It uses WP-Cli and is Open Source.
Implement VersionPress as part of your WordPress Toolkit. It uses WP-Cli and is Open Source.
By contributing to the project and having other devs already working on it, you will be able to amplify the speed of work being done.
Further, this project is the holy grail of WordPress development. People would literally flock to Plesk for this feature alone (not to mention its awesome in other ways).
Please seriously consider contacting the VersionPress Team. This Project basically takes the idea of Git integration, staging, and data syncing to the next level. Database changes are checked in to Git as…

WordPress Toolkit - Plugins/Themes view - Show only items which have update available, hide already updated
Going to WordPress toolkit's Plugins view I get a listing of over 3000 plugins. It is quite hard to pick one-by-one the plugins that I choose to upgrade. It would be great to have a "filter" on that page, that I can only show the plugins that have updates available, hiding already updated plugins
