PHP Extensions Installer
I would love to see PHP Extensions Installer like other panels cPanel and DirectAdmin have it. Can we see a feature where we install needed PHP Extensions from Plesk rather than SSH into server and install?
15 votesGreat news! This feature became available in Plesk 18.0.49!
Plesk added the ability to install extensions for PHP 7.3 and later handlers using PECL. You can manage PHP extensions in Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > choose the desired handler > Manage PECL Packages.

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)
Let us know if you have any additional feedback.

Start docker container with additional parameters
Usually, when I use existing docker images from docker-hub or even my own, there are plenty of options I would like to provide on start of a new container. Currently plesk does not support that. From the commandline a docker-container can be instantiated with several image-specific parameters. I would like to be able to do that from plesk , too.
28 votesThe Docker extension now supports launching a Portainer container. Portainer is container management software that makes it easier to manage Docker containers. Among other things, it allows you to override "command" and "entrypoint" settings. We would love to hear your feedback on our forum at https://talk.plesk.com.

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!

Cross-platform migrations of the e-mails
Add the ability to perform cross-platform migrations of the emails even for external 3rd party mail services.
For now, it is only possible to use "Mail Importing" feature of the Site Import extension but it only migrates one mailbox at a time.
The alternative way is to use 3rd party IMAP migration tools to copy email content, or copy it manually but this operation was not tested by Plesk.3 votesPlease use Plesk E-Mail Migration Module – https://www.plesk.com/extensions/email-migration/

docker logs
Docker containers' logs are not being rotated and in time occupies a lot of space.
It would be nice if there was an option to specify flags like:
--log-driver json-file
--log-opt max-size=50
--log-opt max-file=210 votesAlthough the current behavior is the default for the Docker service itself, it can be changed in several ways,
- For the service as a whole, "Configure the default logging driver"
- With the new Docker extension version, it is possible to launch Portainer from the extension; with Portainer, it is possible to configure logging settings individually for containers.
We would love to hear your feedback on our forum at https://talk.plesk.com.

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.

Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache
Hi,
Please consider implementing Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache in the next Plesk update.
At the moment any Plesk user if he wants to use Mod Security (official version supported by Plesk) is forced to use it as a web server:
- Apache
or
- Apache + NGINX
Any Plesk user who wants to use only NGINX as a web server and without using Apache at the moment cannot use Mod Security because Plesk does not currently support it for NGINX exclusively web servers.
Here are some of the advantages of Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity and these…

Add SSH2 extension to PHP default extensions to improve security
Hi,
Please consider add SSH2 extension to PHP default available extensions.
To be able to use FTP over SSH (SFTP) the SSH2 extension must be installed on PHP.
IN SHORT: SFTP (SSH2 EXTENSION) = SECURITY
SFTP means secure file transfer via Secure Shell (or SSH), hence the name SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). The two devices (server and client) communicate via a single channel, that of SSH, in which the remote file management commands are sent and where the file transfer takes place. By default, the only port required for SFTP is 22, the same as SSH.
SFTP implements the…
33 votesSince Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49 that was published December 20th, 2022, the Plesk PHP configuration page in "Tools & Settings" has a new option where you can easily install PHP PECL packages. The SSH2 extension is a PECL package as described in https://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2. It can be installed right out of the Plesk user surface using the new PECL installer.
