More descriptive Action Log for WordPress Toolkit
Make Action Log more descriptive for actions such the ones in WordPress Toolkit.
I.E.: Actions are registered like the installation with full information like for example the version of the product however, when it gets updated, the versions are not shown anymore neither initial and final.
8 votesWordPress Toolkit v5.4 now includes site logs for each WordPress installation. These logs contain info about important WordPress Toolkit actions performed on a site, so I’m closing this request as completed.
Note: we still need to add a number of other actions to the log, and this is something we’re already working on in scope of upcoming WPT v5.5 release. A separate interface for viewing log files will also be included.
Let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

Enable/disable debug in Plesk via CLI
The suggestion is to implement CLI utilities to enable/disable Plesk debug:
plesk debug -enable
enabled = on
filter.priority = 7
show.utilexec = on
show.utilexec_io = onplesk debug -enable --sql
The same as previous + show.sql_query = onplesk debug -disable
Now it is necessary to remember panel.ini path (/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/), copy panel.ini.sample, then edit it manually every time. And the same procedure to disable it.
33 votesIt's enough to call the following command:
plesk conf panel.ini

Search & Replace for Wordpress websites
This is highly desirable and basic feature.
When ever user enters "Hosting Settings" and changes the domain, Plesk will detect if a wordpress website is installed, if this domain has wordpress installed - a pop up will show up asking "Would you like to run Search and Replace in the database for the new domain?"User will thick V and confirm.

5 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.
If you have feedback on this feature, let us know at our forum (https://talk.plesk.com) or other communication channels.

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.
2 votesWPT v6.0 adds REST API for the majority of WP Toolkit operations. Please file a separate request for Joomla, since it's a different project. Let us know if you have any feedback.

Add custom dns recursion settings via Plesk GUI or CLI and avoid overwriting by Plesk
Going to Tools & Settings > DNS Template > DNS Recursion Settings, it's not possible to set a custom list of IPs or hostnames, it's only possible to choose between different options: any host, localnets, localhost.
As a workaround to this limitation, i'ts required to customize the options section in the /etc/named.conf file, but it gets overwritten by Plesk.
Please, add the possibility to customize the dns recursion settings via Plesk GUI and to keep the custom allow-recursive set in /etc/named.conf file.

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.

Please show what is about to be deleted in the confirmation dialogs
I appreciate a lot that you ask users if they really want to delete.
In many cases one doesn't know if they have (unintentionally) selected too much. So it would be nice if either a list of objects (subdomains, mail addresses or what ever) or at least the number of items being deleted would be shown.2 votesThe improvement is available since the 18.0.38 version (#PPP-54067)
