  1. add functionality for pre-install checker to check supported components and prohibit installation on case unsupported components are found

    It would be great to not have an ability to install Plesk on a system that is using a component (database server, e.x.) that is not supported by the Plesk version.
    Please consider implementing the functionality of the pre-install checking of unsupported components. It can prevent issues with Plesk on the servers with unsupported software.
    Such an idea has already been provided once, however, it was too specific (for database servers only): https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/20166910-prohibit-installation-on-unsupported-databases.

  2. clean temp folder daily windows servers

    Windows Servers (Plesk) become slower when the c:\windows\temp folder has thousands of files in it even if you have SSDs as IIS will have to load all those files each time it loads a website or does a task.
    This folder seems to have thousands of .spamassassin files aswell as thousands of PHP sessions files and its not always a permission issue.

    To ensure this does not occur we created a daily scheduled task to use ForFiles app on windows server to clear it each night. This improves speed dramatically.

    We recommend Plesk consider creating this in the panel of…

  4. Replace IP on the server interface

    "/usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator" utility adds new IP to interface and assigns all subscriptions to it.

    Old IP still can be pinged and Rereaded in Plesk.
    It's needed to remove this IP manually from the interface.
    It's good to have a feature to remove old IP automatically(IP replacement).

  6. Introduce new event parameters when a Wordpress instance is created

    Introduce new event parameters passed by Event Handlers that will differentiate full domain and full subdomain name when handling WordPress instance creation.

    For example: at the moment, ${NEWDOMAINNAME} variable will hold full name for subdomain when processing WordPress instance creation event and it would be helpful to have ${PARENTDOMAINNAME} variable for such case

  7. Add ForeignKey (arbitrary, custom) Fields to users, domains, subscriptions

    Please add Key fields to business objects in Plesk that Administrators and Resellers can edit. It's a must have feature to simple and safe find the correct objects!

    Customers - Customer Number
    Abonnements - Contract Number
    Abonnements Addons - Contract Number
    Resllers - Customer Number
    Domains - Contract Number

    ..... and so on.

    This is a very important feature for automation

  8. Make "command Z" in Codeeditor possible again after saving.

    Hello
    Before your last update was installed, it was possible to go back in the code editor with "Command Z". Nowadays it is only possible to go back to the last save point. It used to be possible to go back to the point at which the file was opened.
    Can you make that happen again?
    Thanks in advance.

  9. Extend the possibility to manage Client permissions via CLI

    Currently, in Plesk it is possible to manage general permissions for customers via Plesk Panel or CLI. Sometimes it is necessary to manage Client permissions in more precise way in command line.
    Please add the feature to hide/show separate menus via CLI, e.g. enable/disable such menus separately:
    -Web Hosting Access
    -SSL/TLS certificates
    -Limit Outgoing Messages
    Also, it would be useful to restrict access to edit separate paragraphs such as:
    -Hosting Settings> Certificate
    -Hosting Settings>Web statistics (Protect access to your web statistics with your FTP username and password)

    Currently only the Plesk administrator can use REST API.

  13. Add an ability to encode parameters sent in custom button URL

    Currently, parameters passed to the custom button URL are put there in plain text (even FTP user password).
    As the custom button URL is using GET request, the parameters can be easily replaced by anyone which is not secure and doesn't allow using custom buttons for logging customers into a third-party service (e.g. billing).
    Please consider implementing an option to securely encode URL parameters so only the receiving side can decode them.

  14. Automatically add new Obsidian release to mirror repository

    Plesk Obsidian is released in the following way:
    PSA_ 18.0.21
    PSA_ 18.0.23
    PSA_ 18.0.24
    ...
    Currently, if local repository is used each new version has to be added manually. Automatic synchronization would be a nice feature.

  15. Add a possibility to convert existing domains like 'sub.example.com' to subdomains of 'example.com'

    If for some reason 'sub.example.com' was added to Plesk as domain the wildcard certificate for 'example.com' doesn't cover it and it is required to issue separate certificates. Please add an ability to convert existing domains like 'sub.example.com' to subdomains of 'example.com'.

  18. make possible to automatically add a sender whose message was marked as spam to the server blacklist and vice verse

    When a user is marking a message as spam, a sender of this message is added to the server blacklist and is removed from the whitelist.
    If a user is marking a message "not a spam" (moving from spam folder to the inbox), the sender of this message is removed from the server blacklist and then added to the server whitelist.

    Text notifications are hard-coded in WP file /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/wp-toolkit/resources/locales/en-US.php:
