Add functionality to install, modify and manage wordpress or joomla via API
Right now you can set a service plan to have WordPress or Joomla pre-installed with any new subscriptions, however the installation data such as admin usernames, passwords, site titles are randomized more so if the subscription/domain is setup via API. I think it could be nice if there was an option to install them with custom data or customize them via API. such that when installing via API, i can explicitly set the site title, admin username and passwords, database usernames and passwords etc.

wordpress toolkit disable auto update
Plesk Web Admin version comes with a limited WP Toolkit.
It updates WP automatically and the option to deactivate the autoupdate is blocked because of licensing.
I understand that to handle updates from Plesk one should buy a Toolkit license but for the basic free version it should be possible do disable updates.
Thank you.

Plesk API - support for Wordpress cloning
I suggest creating an option to use Plesk API for cloning a Wordpress installation. This is well easy now in GUI environment but does not support third-party dashboard integration.
It would be great to implement this into Plesk API so clients would be able to create staging environment on one click without a need to login to the Plesk interface.

Ability to add sets to existing WordPress instance via Toolkit
It would be great to have the ability to add sets to existing WordPress instance via Toolkit. On most occasions when we place an existing WordPress site under management have have a pre defined set of plugins we install. These need to be installed one at a time or via script. A number of developers have also expressed ability to install their own sets to an existing WordPress instance.
4 votesHi everyone,
The ability to install sets on existing sites was added for Server Administrators in WPT v4.4.0. Go to the Sets tab and click on the ‘…’ button corresponding to the required set to see the Install Set button. Let us know what you think!

Customize Quick installation of Wordpress
It would be great to add ability to customize Quick installation settings of Wordpress. For example,currently it is not possible to change installation path in case of Quick installation option is selected. However it maybe required to modify the path without customizing other options (such as Administrative access credentials, main configuration etc), Having ability to modify default quick installation settings would be a nice tool, which make it easier to use WordPress for end-users.
3 votesWe have redesigned the installation experience, and it seems that installation of WordPress is now working the way you want. Check the feature out and let us know if you have any additional comments!

Option to disable wp-cron and set up crontab
Add an option to WordPress Toolkit to disable wp-cron.php execution and optionally create a real cron job.
You would have to add:
define('DISABLEWPCRON', true);
to wp-config.php and than give the admin a choice to set up a cron job with custom times (e.g. every 10Min or 6h).See: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/real-cron-job/
12 votesThe ability to disable wp-cron was added in WPT 4.7. Users can enable a switch on each site, disabling wp-cron execution. This will also create a scheduled task in Plesk which you can modify to change the execution frequency.
Server administrators can also choose to enable this feature on all new WordPress sites. This is done on WPT Settings screen.

Checking Wordpress Plugins/Themes against the Wpvulndb
The Wordpress Toolkit utilities in Onyx are awesome, but it would be pretty cool it could also check currently installed plugins/themes(versions) against the WPScan Vulnerability Database https://wpvulndb.com/ or some similar service so that known vulnerabilities could be highlighted, or automatically forced to be updated...

Autoconfigure NGINX for WordPress Permalinks
WordPress Permalinks are not working with Nginx.
The Webpage shows the error: wordpress 404 ngix
The URL-rewriting with other Permalinks than pageID is not working with Nginx.Implementing this seems not easy (for me), just when you also want to use a WP caching tool.
Have a look here:https://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx
Please implement this out of the box by activating with checkbox etc...
Thanks
29 votesWe have addressed this request to a certain (reasonable) extent. Specifically:
- WP permalinks will work if nginx works in the nginx-only mode for a website, serving FPM
- WP permalinks won’t work if nginx is working as a proxy in front of Apache
- WP permalinks won’t work in case of custom error pages.
This change is available since around WPT 4.3.2. Let us know if you have any questions or comments on our forum: https://talk.plesk.com/forums/wordpress-toolkit.750/

WordPress migration tool
Add WordPress migration tool
Please add a WordPress migration tool where one can move the hole WordPress installation within a domain to another domain or subdomain,
- on the same Server inside Plesk
- to another Server with Plesk installation
- to another Server with different OS like from Windows IIS to Linux Apache / NGINX (with rewriting the permissions from web.config to .htacces and all other necessary files and the other way round)
Thanks.13 votesWordPress Toolkit v2.0 adds the cloning functionality that allows you to create a copy of your WordPress instance anywhere on the same server.
Also, the latest version of Plesk Migrator enhances the WordPress Toolkit by adding the ability to take over remote WordPress instances, migrating them to your server.
Both extensions are available right now.

Add an option to unlink a site from WordPress Toolkit list.
Hi. I have about 50 sites on my Plesk server. Some are Wordpress sites developed outside this server and uploaded after development ended. Once I scan the server, all Wordpress sites are added to the WordPress Toolkit list.
The problem is not all customers are paying for regular bases maintenance so I don't want their website to be on my WordPress Toolkit list.
Now I can't unlink any of the sites in the list.6 votesStarting with WordPress Toolkit v5.9.2, permanent detachment is available. Once you detach a site from WordPress Toolkit, it stays detached forever. If you need to make a detached site visible to WordPress Toolkit again, remove the .wp-toolkit-ignore file from the site's home directory and run Scan.

WordPress Installation tool: Change directory Url
It needs a possibility to change the URL or reload the correct Url of the installtion.
36 votesStarting with WPT 4.6, WordPress administrators can automatically update their website URL in the WordPress database and wp-config.php file based on the actual current URL. This procedure is particularly useful after migrating a website from a different location like your local workstation. The Update Site URL feature is available in the “hamburger” (context drop-down menu) on a WordPress site card.
