Disable or limit the backups of Wordpress toolkit
Implement the ability to disable the backups of Wordpress toolkit, or limit the amount of backups that a domain user can do within this extension.
4 votesThe ability to limit the number of backup files via Service Plans was added in WPT 5.1. Setting the number of backups to zero disables the backup feature in WPT altogether.

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…

Ability to add MX DNS record with a custom priority from Plesk GUI
Currently, MX record the dropdown priority options are available at an interval of "5".
However, Google Mail and G-Suite require to create MX-record with a priority 1, which is not available in Plesk.
There is similar request here https://talk.plesk.com/threads/google-mail-dns-wont-validate-unless-mx-priority-is-1.357702/
Please, add ability to set other MX priorities in Plesk interface.
20 votesThis functionality was added in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.30. G Suite can now be set up with the Plesk DNS service because it is now possible to set an MX priority value to 1 in the Plesk interface. Let us know if you have any feedback.

When "Disable wp-cron.php option" is enabled, it is possible to customize only task's execution time, or it will be re-created with the default settings (details: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/73391/#setting-up-a-regular-run-of-wp-cron-php).

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.

Add the option to remove emails from a particular domain from the mail Queue
Example:
Malware has created a lot of spam that was sent from the domain example.com and the mail queue is full.
I would like to have the option to find all the emails from that domain in the mail queue and remove them with one click instead of obtaining the mailqueueIDs and trying to push them to "postsuper -d -".To make it simple, it's a filter (e.g. sender contains example.com) + option to remove.
2 votesWe are happy to announce that the ability to Track Email Delivery is now available in Log Browser 1.8.0. In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the "Mail" tab).
You can find additional information at https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#log-browser-1.8.0.

Let us have Plesk cGroups Manager out of the box
I think that with the price of cloudlinux being so cheap at 14$ per 1 license which includes the capability of using cGroups to manage resources, plesk should offer it out of the box and not on a paid extension because it's effectively cheaper to use cloudlinux for all the extra benefits instead of buying the hosting pack just for cGroups manager.
Please consider adding it as a permanent feature out of the box.
2 votesThis functionality was added in Plesk Plesk Obsidian 18.0.41 (https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#plesk-18041). We suggest you to upgrade and check it out.

Change DNS terminology to primary/secondary
The terms "master" and "*****" have a very bad connotation which is really offensive to people who have suffered from oppression. Please, change these to "primary" and "secondary" respectively, as is the modern terminology.
11 votesFrom Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51 terminology was changed to primary/secondary nameserver. We'll continue working on other requests regarding "allowlist"/"blocklist".

Access action- log by API
It would be helpful to access the action- log by API (maybe with filters like IP, user, time-period, keyword in the entry as like described here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001117533-How-to-get-the-list-of-actions-that-have-been-done-in-Plesk-)
Use Case
Clients regularly report problems, where we suspect a manipulation done by themselves. So before asking them, "what did you do / change", we check the logs for their activity. This often is really helpful to offer a well-prepared reply and not to bother the client with such questions. Sometimes, they even didn't remember what the did.Unfortunately, we have to take several steps to use the Logs

Implement solution instead of myLittleAdmin for Plesk for Windows
Vulnerability CVE-2020-13166 was discovered in myLittleAdmin and since the only option to completely mitigate the issue is to remove myLittleAdmin, it would be good to implement another tool to manage MS SQL databases through the web interface (instead of resorting to Microsoft SQL Management studio)

Enable sending e-mails to same domain on external server even if Mail service is enabled for a domain
As more and more customers move to G Suite and Office 365, there is a need to send authenticated emails from local SMTP to external server that handles same domain.
Lets say example.com has a WordPress installation that sends notifications, order confirmations, form confirmations, ... to avoid spam and meet best practices, I will create local e-mail account mail@example.com.
If domain has G Suite hosting info@example.com, emails from mail@example.com will not be delivered, because of Plesk's setup.
As long as mail is enabled locally, one will get error: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; even…
57 votesSince early 2023 a third option between "Enabled" and "Not configured" for the "Mail Settings" in a domain was added: "Disabled for incoming mail". This lets you send emails from your domain through sendmail with authentication and also lets you send mails through the PHP mail() function, but it does not deliver these mails locally. This solves the issue where mail domains are located elsewhere while a website generates emails from forms or other application scenarios.
We'll be happy to read your comments if you have additional requirements.

Adding a "Requeue" button to the Mail Queue interface
Currently, there are three buttons in the mail queue interface.
Refresh, Remove, ClearThese are fine when there is Spam in the mail queue but for normal emails, it would be nice to have an additional "Requeue" button.
Now, when I spot an email that shouldn´t be deferred I have to log in over SSH and execute: /usr/sbin/postsuper -r ALL to requeue them.
Just like the "Remove" button works for selected emails the "Requeue" button would work for requeueing selected emails.

In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the "Mail" tab). If an email has been deferred, it is also possible to resend it with the Track Email Delivery tool.
