Allow logins to WordPress while "maintenance" mode is engaged.
Imagine being able to perform actual maintenance, when "maintenance mode" is engaged... Instead, actual maintenance can only be done with a 3rd party extension. Or, consider changing the labeling of "maintenance mode" to "WordPress On/Off" since engaging maintenance mode prevents actual maintenance, prevents logging in, and just shuts down the site.
1 voteThis ability was added to WordPress Toolkit v5.7. You can turn it off in maintenance mode settings, if you wish so.

Custom labels in WP Toolkit
This idea was already mentioned on: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/39722035-custom-labels-in-wp-toolkit-and-additional-filteri
And to give some ideas of what custom labels could be added:
- managed / unmanaged
- notes about who manages the site
- notes about special environments besides production / staging / ...It would be less work to not have to look up these informations for each site and be able to just add a short custom label. For us these labels do not need to be filtered, but it would be a nice-to-have to have this addition like described in the original thread.
35 votesCustom labels are now available in WPT v6.0. Details:
- All labels now require users to input a label text.
- Labels can have different colors (chosen from a predefined palette)
- Labels can be private (visible only to the person who adds the label) or non-private (visible to and manageable by everyone who can access the site in WPT)
- Several private labels (up to five) can be added to a single WP site at once
- Only one non-private label per site can be added
- Existing labels were converted to non-private labels with the same text (their color is a bit different, though)

1 Click install wordpress core files
Hi,
A must have feature would be to have a button to 1 click install wordpress core files.
Lets say you got a wordpress site with wordpress 4.9.
This wordpress got hacked, you got tons of files infected in wordpress core.
In one click wp toolkit can replace all website's cores files with fresh ones.That would help handling with hacked websites in a matter of minutes, instead of doing it manually.
2 votesAbility to verify WP core file checksums and reinstall WP core files was added in WordPress Toolkit v5.6.
Cheers!

Add the possibility to define which theme will be set by default after the WordPress installation
For example when we add the required theme into the WordPress set, after the installation the "Twenty Twenty" theme will be set as default.
Please add the possibility to define which theme will be set by default after the WordPress installation as via the CLI method as via Plesk GUI.
The CLI method is important here because some customers use only this method for a WordPress installation.
6 votesWe have released this feature in WPT 5.2 update. You can use GUI or CLI to choose a theme that should be activated upon the installation of a set.
CLI command example: plesk ext wp-toolkit —sets -operation activate-theme -set-id ID -theme-id THEME_ID
If you’re using GUI, go to Sets and click on “+ Add Themes” button next to the corresponding theme.Let us know on our forum (talk.plesk.com) if you encounter any issues.

Update of paid WordPress plugins via WordPress Toolkit
As you know, WordPress Toolkit can update plugins and themes installed only from WordPress.org. Paid plugins installed from vendors' websites cannot be updated using WordPress Toolkit.
It's not convenient to update plugins from WordPress.org in the WordPress Toolkit and log into WordPress admin dashboard to update paid ones, so please implement this feature.
Especially considering that it's possible to update both free and paid plugins in the WP dashboard (in the menu "Updates").13 votesWordPress Toolkit 4.7 now can update paid plugins & themes, if these updates are available in the WordPress admin area. Note that certain plugins and themes do not support automatic updates, but display notifications about update availability anyway. This particulal scenario isn’t fully supported yet.

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.
