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 :)

Add notification for WP Toolkit regarding outdated PHP version
Currently, it is possible to manage WordPress Toolkit notifications regarding detected vulnerabilities in Tools & Settings > Notifications menu. This way customers are aware of issues with the instance.
However, customers are not being informed regarding the outdated PHP version in case PHP management is allowed for them. The info is only displayed in Plesk > WordPress > instance tab.1 vote -

Faster deployment of Wordpress sites
Deployment or cloning of WordPress sites and then generating unique wp-admin and FTP credentials takes too many actions currently.
Ideal workflow:
1 - Enter a subdomain name (the only thing to enter) and have all other options prefilled to match the subdomain name (database name/user, FTP user, folder, etc).
2 - The site is configured automatically, including creating a subdomain, configuring SSL, creating a database/user, wp-admin user & unique password, FTP user & unique password.
3 - All credentials are displayed on the last step, allowing copy/paste, including wp-admin (user, password), and FTP (server name, port, user name, password).

WordPress Toolkit support for Bedrock-powered WordPress instances
Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that implements several improvements related to WordPress setups.
Better folder structure
Dependency management with Composer
Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
Environment variables with Dotenv
Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
Enhanced security (separated web root and secure passwords with wp-password-bcrypt)More information on Bedrock can be found here: https://roots.io/bedrock/
Plesk's WordPress Toolkit cannot currently handle Bedrock-powered WordPress instances.
Because some of Bedrock improvements are considered to be current best practices and provide safer setups, it would be nice to see support for Bedrock-powered instances in WordPress Toolkit.

Add Smart Update to a Service Plan
I would like to be able to add the Smart Updates feature to a specific service plan.
It wouldn’t be activated for all new installations just the users of a specific plan.
I would buy 30 sites of Smart Updates for WPT. If the new customer chooses the 'starter' plan they don't get the Smart Update, if they choose the 'super' plan then they get Smart Update for free. Free meaning it would be deducted from my quantity of sites purchased. Then it would automatically activate on their account.
I love the functionality of Smart Updates and want to make…

Disable detaching the WordPress instance from the Toolkit permanently.
When the WordPress instance is detached from the WordPress Toolkit, the .wp-toolkit-ignore file appears in the Document Root directory and prevents attaching the instance back. Is it possible to disable that? I do not want to detach permanently.

Improve WP-Toolkit "Sort by" mechanim
At this moment, whenever a WP site is synced, the appearance of an instance at the top of the list is expected in any sort. This was done in order to make it easier to find an instance in the list.
This means the "Sort by" URL mechanism is not being respected, this change is considered a point of improvement to not cause damage to people relying on the "sort by" mechanism to distinguish their instances.

Add the import feature to the "plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli" utility
There is an export option for the "plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli":
plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli -instance-id 2 -- export
Starting export process...
Writing to file /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/futureinvestments.wordpress.2022-06-03.000.xml
Success: All done with export.
But the import feature require native "wp" utility to be installed, and fails via plesk utility with error:
WordPress Importer needs to be installed. Try 'wp plugin install wordpress-importer --activate'.Such option (import) in plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli would improve usability

Add the possibility to customize the WordPress Toolkit Set to install WP in a custom directory
Add the possibility to customize the WordPress Toolkit Set to install WP in a custom directory (e.g., “/wp”) instead of installing it in the root folder (httpdocs)
Reason: The automatic WP installation performed via a WordPress Toolkit Set through a Hosting Plan would work fine if the customer’s current site is not built on WP or another php-based platform, but will fail and mess up their current site if their domain already contains a WP or php-based installation at the root level.
