  1. In Plesk File Manager, add an option to move a directory when the destination location already has a directory with the same name

    In Plesk File Manager, add an option "Overwrite existing directories" when moving a directory to a location that already has a directory with the same name.

    Right now, it is required to manually remove/rename the directory before moving.

    The option "Replace existing files" applies only to the files.

  2. Secure domain automatically with wildcard certificate

    There is a way to enable automatic certificate issuing upon domain creation via Service Plan. It would be great to make an option for issuing a wildcard certificate using this option.

  4. "Created Date" column for Domains list in Plesk 18.0.57

    There was a "Created Date" column for Domains list in Plesk 18.0.56. On 18.0.57 this column was removed. Please implement it back.

  5. WP Toolkit feature to detect plugin and theme conflicts

    Please implement a function in the WP Toolkit that would detect plugin or theme conflicts. For example, cloning a website with WP Toolkit sometimes fails due to a plugin or theme that is interfering with the WP-CLI commands execution. Usually, running the same WP-CLI command with the --skip-plugins and/or --skip-themes flag allows the command to be executed successfully.

    Currently, the WP Toolkit doesn't provide enough information why the cloning fails. It would be useful if there's a functional, which would provide more information on what particular plugin or theme is causing the issue.

  6. An option to hide the DNSSEC menu for customers

    Please implement an option in Plesk to hide the DNSSEC menu for customers.

    Currently, it's only possible to hide the DNS management menu completely. It will be useful if there's an option to hide the DNSSEC button only, while the other DNS settings could still be managed by the customer.

  7. consistency between PhpSettingsCustom and dom_param tables.

    It would be great that plesk repair db checks the consistency between PhpSettingsCustom and dom_param tables.

    This can be reproduced by adding some additional php directives via Plesk UI for example.com domain and then removing them from table PhpSettingsCustom via plesk db command.

  8. Let users choose the Laravel version to use

    As of October 2023, Plesk provides Laravel 8.8x, but I would like to use 10.x. On Stackexchange I found this solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77441919/laravel-toolkit-change-default-version how to change the Laravel version. Not sure yet whether it works.

    It would be good if I could select the Laravel version directly in the toolkit.

  9. An option to change 'from' field in Plesk email notifications when using MSMTP

    Currently, it's possible to change the 'from' field in Plesk email notifications only when Postfix or Qmail is installed. The change cannot be applied when using MSMTP.

    Please implement an option in Plesk to change the 'from' field in email notifications when using MSMTP.

  10. Add a feature wizard / feature showcase for feature on updates

    TL;DR: This is a feature request for adding a feature wizard/showcase (for lack of a better name) to Plesk. Something that simply let's administrators choose whether they want to enable the new features that have become available when a Plesk update has been installed.

    Detailed use case:
    Currently, often new features are enabled by default when a Plesk update gets installed on existing Plesk installations. This is not always desirable and can cause confusion with Plesk server administrators. For example administrators might not want to enable new features directly as they become available because they want to familiarize themself with the feature first. Which…

  11. Create the option "Maximum number of incremental backups to store" on Plesk

    Currently, it is possible to limit the "Maximum number of full backups to store" which is valid for Full backups only, it would be good to have a similar option to limit the "Maximum number of incremental backups to store".

    It may be useful in cases when it's required to store the incremental backups e.g. last month and have full backups from the previous months also.

  13. Create and manage sites

    The authorization available for creating users is the "Create and manage sites" authorization

    "1-Create and manage the main site",

    "2-Create and manage Subsites"

    "3-Delete the sites"

    there are 3 authorization divisions.

    i would like to allocate critical tasks to our plesk panel users.

    Users an already create, edit, delete sites according to their specific role. Have you seen the role management in the "Users" menu of the subscription? Please describe in more detail what exactly you need to add to the feature that already exists and please provide a business case why this can make Plesk a better product.

  15. Ability to set nginx additional directives for the Docker extension of Plesk permanently per domain

    It would be helpful to have a way to set nginx additional directives for the Docker extension of Plesk permanently as a function of Plesk or via the vhost_nginx.conf, instead of having to use custom scripts and cron tasks that would make sure the necessary adjustments are reapplied in a manual way.

  16. Allow setting MAILFROM field in crons from Plesk Interface

    When a customer adds a cronjob within the Plesk interface through "Scheduled tasks", they can set the recipient (MAILTO field) of the cron with the "Send notifications to" field, but there is no option to set the sender (MAILFROM field). By default, the sender for crondaemon is user@server.tld, which in our case causes SPF errors with the receiving mail server of the recipient.

    We do not give our clients CLI access, so they cannot manually set it with the crontab -e command, nor should they (the whole point of the Plesk Interface is for GUI-style ease of use). Could…

    Thank you for your idea and your additional explanation. As the use case is probably an edge case, we'll need to see whether many other users believe that this is an important feature that they need.

    If you believe it is an important feature, please continue voting for this feature request.

  17. Encrypt mysql connections

    In https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/32881723 the database connections from a Plesk server to an elsewhere hosted database was added, but we also want encrypted connections from a client or other server to databases hosted on the Plesk server.

    Example: An ERP system hosts its data on a centralized MySQL database on the Plesk server. Between the clients and the server all such data is currently transmitted in plain text through the Internet. Instead this data should be encrypted, because normally such data contains personal information such as names, addresses.

  18. add user input context to password validator

    Please PLEASE please use https://zxcvbn-ts.github.io/zxcvbn/guide/user-input/ because otherwise using zxcvbn makes little sense.

    according to https://zxcvbn-ts.github.io/zxcvbn/guide/languages/ polish is supported language so it'd be great if polish langauge was used.

  19. Additional option for overuse policy- Overuse is allowed up to x %

    Overuse is allowed up to x %

    - after percentage threshold is crossed then suspend and send e-mail notification
    - with ability to set up percentage freeley, but suspend when disk usage is 110 % or 130 % and so on.

  20. Add a snapshot of the current processes list to existing CPU / memory usage exceeded emails

    The Monitoring extension already triggers email notifications when resource usage exceeds the allocations, but if usage has already settled before you notice these emails and click through to the server, it's difficult to find which domain was the cause.

    Adding a snapshot of the current processes list to these emails when it's the CPU or memory usage thresholds that have been exceeded would be very useful. Potentially just the "Domains only" filtered list would suffice. Maybe trimmed to the top 50 or so processes ordered by CPU or memory, whichever is appropriate at the time.
