Make Wordpress Toolkit aware of virtual directories and their PHP version
Scenario
You have a legacy site that only supports up to a certain version of PHP on the root of domainname.co.uk (let's say PHP 5.6)You also have a WordPress installation on domainname.co.uk/blog/ which is also a virtual directory.
Via virtual directory for the blog, you have selected PHP 8.2
WP Toolkit is not aware of the setting of the virtual directory and assumes the PHP version to be the same as the root.
After upgrading WP to 6.6.x WP Toolkit displays "Broken WordPress site" but the WordPress installation is actually fine.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. WP Toolkit uses the panel's API to know which handler is used for a domain, and cannot support any manual configurations. For example you can create different domain for this site, with document root inside the docroot of the main site or proxy requests from the main domain's subfolder to the domain.
In these cases WP Toolkit can detect correctly the PHP handler for a site (just because there are panel's entities), and the site can be accessible via http in subfolder.

Scheduling WP Toolkit notifications
Please implement an option in Plesk to allow scheduling the email notifications sent by WP Toolkit.
As an example, this option should allow scheduling when a notification should be sent for available updates, successful updates and failed updates.

Prevent wp-config.php from being zeroed out when disk quota for the subscription has been exceeded and WP debug was enabled.
If the disk quota for the subscription has been exceeded, enabling WP debug for the domain either from WP-Toolkit or from WP Debug Log plugin will result in wp-config.php file having 0 size, which results in the not available WP site.
1 voteWe have assessed this to be a product issue and have filed it as such as internal ID EXTWPTOOLK-10743. The behavior will be fixed in a future update. For that reason the feature request has been declined.

switch Wordpress toolkit screenshot service to use only fixed and published IPs
I offer to switch Wordpress toolkit screenshot service to use only fixed and published IPs, for security purpose.
1 voteThere are no plans to do changes to the existing screenshot function as it is asynchronous and should not affect operations. If you are experiencing issues with it, please open a support ticket with Plesk support. Also, this request only received 1 vote in 2 years. It did not become popular.
If you would like to disable screenshots altogether, you can add this section to the panel.ini file:
[screenshotService]
url = ""and restart the panel services afterwards:
service sw-engine restart && service sw-cp-server restart
Since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51 requests from the Plesk Screenshot Service to websites hosted in Plesk are marked by the custom “Plesk screenshot bot” User-Agent header.

Integration with localwp
Localwp (https://localwp.com/) is an amazing tool for WordPress development. It integrates with two hosts, FlyWheel and WPEngine, which works amazingly well as well. You can clone an environment from the host to your local environment and upload it back to your host in a matter of a few clicks.
If there could be a Plesk integration as well, that would make the be great!!! ( https://localwp.com/host-interest/ )
6 votesCloning a website from a production server to a staging server and vice versa can be done with a few clicks in the WP Toolkit that comes with Plesk. It is already very easy to have a staging environment online in the same webspace account like the production website, yet in a separate domain or subdomain where all settings can be individually tested risk-free. This is technically much better than to have an installation locally, because it shares the same environment with the production website. There is no need for a third-party solution as WP Toolkit already has all that is needed.
However, we know that users like to stay with the software they are accustomed to. Plesk has a solution for it: If you prefer to have an interface from localwp to Plesk, please suggest to localwp developers to create an extension for Plesk using the free Plesk API.

Select database servers for each Wordpress instance
For now the database server assigned to the domain via service plan is used to host WordPress database. Would be nice to add ability to choose other database servers if exist as they might be more suitable for customer needs.

Service plan, that deploys WordPress on another VPS
Service plan, that deploys WordPress on another VPS
Or another mechanism, that will let you allocate not a separate space for the customer on the same server, but a separate VPS with a WordPress install with a 1 click.3 votesThis feature did not become popular over the years. We must decline it. Meanwhile it became very easy to install new Wordpress websites. Using the "Install Wordpress" button from the WP Toolkit that is included with Plesk, new Wordpress installations can be created with very few mouse clicks.

Check Wordpress Plugin/Theme Updates through the regular WP way
Extending Wordpress with a custom Update Server, and hook into update check routines has no effect on how WP Toolkit evaluates possible Updates.
Probably a good change is to make WP Toolkit work with WP Core Routines1 vote -

Allow Plugin sets to add plugins from wordpress.org catalog via WordPress Toolkit CLI
Please, implement a feature for adding plugins to plugin sets from wordpress.org catalog via WordPress Toolkit CLI
The CLI command 'plesk ext wp-toolkit --sets -operation add-plugin' requires a plugin to first be installed either in GUI or CLI using 'plesk ext wp-toolkit --plugins'.
The issue here is that the 'plesk ext wp-toolkit --plugins' command is currently unable to install plugins from wordpress.org in the same way that you can via the GUI.
As an example, look at this set which contains 2 plugins, one added using the command 'plesk ext wp-toolkit --plugins -operation add -source-url https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/w3-total-cache.0.9.7.zip'; and the other…
1 voteWe are closing the current request due to lack of demand over the years. Please note that just because the source of the set appears as "direct upload" it doesn't mean the plugin/theme in question will not be updated on the WordPress instance(s) upon an available new version. As long as the plugin/theme in question have the same name as a plugin/theme hosted in the wordpress.org repository you should get updates without an issue.

have a system that ******* works
Just some random ideas you might consider:
1) Hve a system that doesn't take ten years to load EVERY SINGLE PAGE.2) When you click on "install plugin," it actually installs the plugin. I know this might be a novel concept, but think about trying it out.

possibility to control automatic Wordpress Toolkit installations
