Add option to create temporary admin account in WordPress Toolkit for support access
Our customers regularly ask us to assist by logging into their WordPress site. It would be very helpful if the WordPress Toolkit had an option to create a temporary additional admin account, allowing us to log into their WordPress website securely for troubleshooting or support.

ability to toggle WordPress REST API endpoints
I've recently discovered that by default, WordPress exposes a REST API endpoint at /wp-json/wp/v2/users which can be exploited to enumerate users. While I have found a workaround by creating a custom rewrite rule in IIS to block access to this endpoint, I believe this should be a built-in feature of the WP Toolkit.
I propose that Plesk add an option within the WP Toolkit to easily enable or disable access to specific REST API endpoints, such as /wp-json/wp/v2/users. This would provide an additional layer of security for WordPress sites and make it easier for administrators to protect their websites.

Feature Suggestion for Plesk WordPress Toolkit: Notification Control per Subscription
I would like to propose an enhancement to the Plesk WordPress Toolkit to address an issue with email notifications sent to end users. Currently, the toolkit sends nightly email alerts regarding available updates for WordPress plugins, themes, and the WordPress version. However, there is no option for server administrators to disable these notifications on a per-subscription basis.
This lack of granularity means that administrators cannot tailor the notification settings according to individual user preferences, which may lead to annoyance for end users receiving notifications they do not wish to see.
I propose extending the WordPress Toolkit to allow end users…

Enhancing the visibility of protection status in WordPress Toolkit
Recently, Plesk added a vulnerability status feature to the WordPress Toolkit, which is a great step forward. However, both the vulnerability status and the protection status are currently accessed through the same link, making it harder to find the protection details quickly.
It would benefit users, especially those less familiar with these features, if Plesk were to separate these into two distinct links. This way, the protection status would be more visible and easier to access, helping users stay informed about the security of their WordPress installations without extra steps.
For example, the current "Security: Fix vulnerabilities" entry in the…

Let wp-cron run every minute by default
Currently, when enabling 'Take over wp-cron.php' and 'Create a replacement task (...)', the cron job that's created only runs twice an hour. (See screenshot attached)
This seems wrong; any Wordpress cronjob that needs to run at a higher interval, will fire too late.
There is no performance benefit to running wp-cron less often, in fact, it might cause performance problems, because late jobs would pile up.Can the default wp-cron.php interval be changed to every minute, please?
One source that offers some more explanation: https://wpengine.com/support/wp-cron-wordpress-scheduling/
Missed crons and crons that run too frequently can both be resolved by enabling the…

Support update of constants such as WP_PLUGIN_DIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
Wordpress Toolkit does not support update of constants such as WPPLUGINDIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
For example if wp-config.php file for example.com is configured with:
define( 'WPPLUGINDIR', '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/wp-content/plugins' );and example.com is cloned to staging.example.com the WPPLUGINDIR is not updated.

Hide Caching (nginx) option in WP-Toolkit
The controls in the Tools section of WP-Toolkit should be customizable to allow hiding Caching (nginx) so that customers do not enable it randomly. The ability to enable nginx caching should still be available from Apache & nginx settings.
2 votesThank you for your idea! We understand that this idea originates from the fact that customers sometimes enable nginx-caching without realizing what this option does to their website. Potentially creating issues with their own website.

Preset the option to block XML-RPC requests for new WordPress installations
Hello!
It would be nice to have a feature where one can select XML-RPC to be blocked for all newly installed WordPress websites installed via the WordPress Toolkit in Plesk.
At the moment, only the option to preset disabled wp-cron.php is available, but no such option is present for blocking requests to XML-RPC.
The customers never use it, but also do not block it from their end and it is a hassle to do it manually for every new WP site.
Would it be possible to add such a feature to the WP Toolkit settings?1 voteThank you for your suggestion. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Ability to create event alerts for site downtime due to quarantine or updates
Currently, WP toolkit doesn't have a feature to support external event handlers and it doesn't provide such events for Plesk's action logs.
Enabling this possibility would allow more control of website availability.
