Provide a File Manager for admin so that all files and directories of a server can be edited, including these outside subscriptions
For those Plesk admins who unfamiliar with Linux CLI would be convenient to have an access to the Files and Directories via File Explorer. To be able to execute simple administrative tasks without learning CLI commands

Update a specific plugin on multiple websites from uploaded zip at once
It should be possible to use an uploaded plugin to update all the plugins on multiple websites once.
A feature is required to use the uploaded plugin to update the outdated plugins on multiple websites at once.
Also, when we click on install option on uploaded plugin it gives all websites in wp-toolkit and there is no option to sort the list to required website options to update or install the uploaded plugin.

WooCommerce Staging Process (cloning without overwriting Woocommerce content)
WooCommerce = at least 1/3 of ALL e-commerce websites use WooCommerce.
Can Plesk please make a process that works EASY for people to do the following on a WP and WooCommerce site:
Live site > Clone to Stage site > Copy to Live site
The issue is customers, orders, and products on the Live site can't be replaced/over-written, etc when you copy back to live site.
THIS PROCESS WOULD MAKE MONEY for Plesk, as for some reason, it doesn't exist anywhere, that I know of.
Please implement it :)

Run pre-migration checks only for the domains to be migrated
Migrating more than one subscription causes a problem. The pre-migration check scans all users and all files on the backup disk, which takes quite a long time with a large number of backups (7TB+). Instead of scanning only the files of the users to be migrated (as when migrating a single subscription).
When I unmount the backup disk, Plesk doesn't scan it and the migration takes only a few minutes.

Change sender for all mail messages.
How to configure a fixed Sender Address for all E-Mails?
To workaround the error: "550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender" needs the option in the Plesk panel to set header From.
In case using a user account for SMTP relaying via external Mail server.At the moment this is only possible through the manual configuration of canonical maps in the Postfix.
Add to /etc/postfix/main.cf
sendercanonicalclasses = envelopesender, headersender
sendercanonicalmaps = regexp:/etc/postfix/sendercanonicalmaps

abilty to add LOC DNS records in Plesk
Add abilty to create LOC DNS records in Plesk. rfc1876
2 votesThank you for your interesting idea! While this is a request for a rarely used DNS record, it still makes sense to enable this record type at least for users who want to link their website to a specific geolocation.

Add linting (Prettier/Beautifier) to coding fields for Apache/Nginx header and PHP.ini editor, etc.
Could you add to the php.ini edit interface a linter like Prettier or Beautifier (I do not mind which, just one of them) to any code boxes within Plesk. The ones I use most regularly are PHP.ini and those below, but I am sure there might be others around the interface, and maybe there is some equivalent for the firewall rules interface too.
This would just cut the risk of making mistakes there and make the whole thing a whole lot better to use if you want to do stuff 'in the tool' that are relatively minor. Yes, I know…

Automatic/option for hiding of Plesk, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. 'reveals'
It would be so useful to accommodate one hardening feature, and that would be to switch on/off the server reveal options for Nginx/Apache (Lightspeed, whatever), the expose_php attribute for the version number in PHP (and equivalent in Perl, etc.), the Wordpress/Drupal (and Joomla, etc.), reveal of their presence and version numbers. See this article for the cybersecurity relevance of that (there's a lot more on the 'securityheaders.com' website and free checkers for all of this there too), but I pick this as an illustration of what I'm referring to with php:

Here I'd like to add, though, that in the real world attackers simply test a website against all known vulnerabilities, regardless what webserver, PHP or other software version they detect. Actually, such version information are of no interest, they simply drive tests against all known flaws. So adding the feature will probably not help against hacking attempts.

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.

Improvements for Outgoing Mail Control - block mailboxes that send messages to non-existent destination
It would be great to have the ability to temporarily block mailboxes/domains that send messages to non-existent recipients (external or internal destinations). Such messages not only get deferred and gets stuck in queue, but also increase chances of blacklisting server IP.

S3 Storage with enabled Object Lock
AWS S3 Storage offers the Object Lock feature, which ensures that a file cannot be deleted within a certain time frame. This is ideal for protecting your Plesk backups from accidental manipulation or attackers.
However, to use this feature, the PUT request must include the checksum of the uploaded backup file. If this header is omitted, the following error message appears:
Transport error: Extension transport: ext://s3-backup/server/: Content-MD5 OR x-amz-checksum- HTTP header is required for Put Part requests with Object Lock parameters
Adding one of the headers described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/checking-object-integrity.html would solve this problem.

panel.ini setting to select 127.0.0.1 or localhost for WPT WordPress installations
When using CloudLinux's alt-php versions and when using Plesk's php version management facility instead of CloudLinux PHP Selector, the default path to mysql.sock is not set, or in some cases incorrectly set to /tmp/mysql.sock.
Any php script, including WordPress, that is set to use "localhost" to connect to the database will then fail to connect. This can cause severe problems with the WordPress Toolkit.
If, instead of localhost, the host address is set to 127.0.0.1, php uses a network connection instead of trying to connect to mysql.sock, and all is well. Naturally this assumes that mysql/mariadb listens on 127.0.0.1 but…

Reset DNS record to default value from DNS template
The ability to reset a specific record to the default value from the DNS template. We are currently only able to reset the whole domain.

Make the Grafana Monitoring extension in Plesk use other languages
Once I set the language of Plesk to another language, the language for the Grafana Monitoring extension remains English. It would be nice to have the option of selecting another language in that interface.
