Locale management features
It would be very convenient if you'll to add a new locale management(merging/splitting) feature, since plesk2smb.php is absent since Plesk 18.0.31:
Although if that's possible, to adapt plesk2smb.php to the next versions of Plesk that'd be good.
1 voteIt is planned in scope of integration with CrowdIn localization system. Big files like common/application/admin/resources/languages/ca-ES/messages_ca-ES.php will be split into small chunks similar to en-US locale.

SSL it! support latest server-side-tl version 5
I would be nice that the latetst version of mozilla will be supported in the SSL it! extension. It would be even better that we can select for previous configuration (version 4) or recommended configuration (version 5)
11 votesHi. It’s about the feature “TLS versions and ciphers by Mozilla.” We have this in our plans.
To support version 5, we have to change the code heavily – the format of the config was changed; some services don’t support the modern TLS; also, as you mentioned, it would be quite useful to provide the ability to select the config version. That’s why there is no ETA.

Exclude plugins from auto-update
The auto-update is great, but it is even better to exclude plugins from the auto-update. Some plugins breaks the site or plugins are customized.

Be able to enable all security options from WordPress Toolkit on all instances via CLI
Be able to enable all security options recommended by the WordPress Toolkit on all instances via CLI so that it would save customers' time as they would not need to login to the Panel and select all of them manually on all instances.

Our goal is to have all WordPress Toolkit operations available via CLI, so your request is something we’d like to do in the near future.

WordPress plugin restoration point
Would be great to have WordPress plugins to be able to have restoration points on a plugin upgrade basis and not only for WordPress major upgrades.
This way, WordPress plugins can be managed individually with more control over them.
20 votesWe’d like to introduce this feature, but we’ll have to solve certain technical difficulties first (for example, properly handle cases where database structure is updated by a plugin and you want to roll the changes back). We’re positive that we can overcome these difficulties, though.

Checking Wordpress Plugins/Themes against the Wpvulndb
The Wordpress Toolkit utilities in Onyx are awesome, but it would be pretty cool it could also check currently installed plugins/themes(versions) against the WPScan Vulnerability Database https://wpvulndb.com/ or some similar service so that known vulnerabilities could be highlighted, or automatically forced to be updated...
35 votesWe definitely want to do this in one of the upcoming WPT releases.

Add issuing and expiry dates somewhere within plesk panel
We use Let's Encrypt for almost all our clients on our shared server. 1 of our clients emailed us stating that his SSL was expiring soon so I hoped on the server to check and I couldn't find any info regarding issue or expiration date. I had to visit the websites frontend and check the SSL info that way. I think it would be very helpful to have that information displayed somewhere within Plesk Panel.

2. such a feature already in our plans, but no ETA for now.— rk

Sort the list of Plesk server accounts on iOS mobile app in alphabetical order.
At the moment the list is unsorted, with an larger number of Plesk servers is totally confusing. Just sort it in alphabetical order.
7 votesHi,
This feature was evaluated and we are planning to implement it. Stay tuned for Plesk previews – one of them might give you early access to this feature for evaluation.

add backup password protection to Backup Manager Backups (NO..it doesn't have it at the mo)
This may also be a security issue.
Currently there are no special protection of user content in the backup. Plesk protects only its sensitive data, web content archived without any encryption.If some gains ADMIN access to a wordpress/drupal/other web applications install parts of the Plesk container file system, cron jobs, etc will be compromised and would undoubtably increase exponentially the chances of the system to be exploited with virus, rootkits, malware “indirectly” affecting Plesk. (as an analogy no point to build a metal wall if the door is still glass)
So, in other words ... if a wordpress installation…

disable automatic greylisting activation for new domains
If i add a new domain in a subscription, greylisting is automaticly activated, just because it's enabled on the server.
It would be much better if customers have to activate greylisting manually in their settings, like the spamfilter.
A workaround with Event Manager is possible but a bit inconvenient.

We have created internal document with ID PPM-569 for your reference.

Custom Email Server Help Tips
The settings for mail servers have a help tip in the email addresses management page, and in the users' Plesk Account pages.
If a Plesk server is set up strictly as a mail server, and has DNS handled remotely, the settings in the Help Tips can be incorrect.
Currently the tips only show the server as the root domain even if the mail server's actual DNS points (as an example) mail.domain.tld to the server, requiring the settings to include the subdomain.
If I add the domain as "subdomain.domain.tld" in settings, then the server tips are correct but the email addresses…

We’re looking into adding this functionality in one of the upcoming releases.

Multiple backup rules or more options
At this moment, you can set only 1 rule to make backups (daily, weekly, or monthly). My idea is to make multiple backup rules (ex. which daily backups should be deleted) or simply make more backup options.
Ex:
I want to make daily backup and delete every older than 2 days, except one day of the week and one day of the month.ex interface:
Make [daily/weekly/monthly] backup and keep only:
[n] daily backups (enabled only for daily backups)
[n] weekly backups (enabled for daily and weekly backups)
[n] monthly backups (enabled for daily, weekly and monthly backups)So, if…
957 votesHi all, Thanks for your input, really appreciate this! As you know, in Plesk Onyx 17.8 we made a significant improvement that allows you to use several cloud storages or even SFTP for remote backups. In Plesk Onyx 17.9 we will continue to improve Plesk Backup Manager in general and Flexible Backup Scheduler Manager in particular.
Based on the initial description and comments I can highlight 3 scenarios in the scope of this request:
#1. Keep Daily & Weekly & Monthly backups at the same time: (Example: 2 weeks of daily backups + weekly backups by each Monday)
#2. Backup to different storages (like daily to FTP and monthly to Google Drive)
#3. Multiple Storages of the same type (like 2 different FTP servers)
