    You can get quick access to the installed extensions using the Quick Access menu which will appear in the first second when you point a mouse on the ‘Extensions’ menu item. It’s exactly what you are asking (see attached image).

    If using this menu is not suitable for you, please keep vote and describe in comments why its feature is not fit your needs.

  2. Disable DNS when Subscription is Disabled

    When a Subscription is Disabled, DNS records are currently still served for the domain. When email and/or websites are hosted remotely, Disabling the Subscription in Plesk therefore has no real effect.

    Keeping the DNS records active when the Subscription is merely Suspended seems correct. But keeping them enabled when the Subscription is Disabled is not ideal with remotely-hosted email or web.

    Obviously simply disabling DNS for the domain resolves the problem, but I think it should be automatic when the domain is Disabled rather than just Suspended.

  4. Add the ability to limit selection of PHP handlers for customers

    We've had a similar suggestion before with insufficient information: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/34209229-add-php-handlers-restriction-per-service-plan

    The idea is to be able to limit the number of available PHP handlers for selection at domain PHP settings.

    This may be done at Service Plan X > Permissions.

    Example: customer will be able to select only FPM server by Nginx.

    This will allow the ability for more precise configuration.

    Based on the support request.

  5. Create email groups instead of a forwarding email account with the mailbox disabled.

    Plesk should be able to create email groups. Most email servers, including the MailEnable that comes with Plesk, implement email accounts, email lists, and email groups in quite different ways. Plesk allows us to create email accounts and mailing lists, but it does not allow us to create email groups. Instead, to get the result that an email group offers, in Plesk you need to create an email account, disable the email box and set up forwarding to addresses that are part of the "group" . This is a little weird.

  6. Commit changes on live site to a remote git repository / version control system

    I have read a lot about git integration in plesk and it sounded great,e.g. here:
    https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/onyx/whats-new/ or here https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/website-management/git-support.75824/
    But actually as far as I found out, it is only possible to pull and deploy changes from a remote repository to your website. It is very disapointing that it is not possible the other way round:
    I would like to make changes to my live site, and commit them (including all changes to the mySQL DB and files) and push them to my github repo.
    (Why) is this not possible?
    It would be perfect to make quick "backups" and revert…

  7. Implement the http_realip_module in the sw-cp-server

    Compile sw-cp-server with httprealipmodule.
    It is useful when Plesk itself is behind a proxy.

    Example use-case: redirect clients from WHMCS to Plesk when Plesk is protected by CloudFlare

  11. Increase the logs available in MailEnable after log rotation

    When installing Plesk with MailEnable, by default Plesk removes MailEnable logfiles every 24 hours.

    According to this KB (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001102353), this functionality is made in purpose to optimize mail statistics, but this is not acceptable.

    Additionally, you are offering the possibility to apply this workaround (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213397889), but this workaround is not valid for us because we don't want to customize the FTP and HTTP logs location and we have the log files in different disk volumes.

    Please, provide the possibility to configure the log rotation settings for MailEnable respecting our hosting company needs.

  12. Show mail traffic statistics when using SmarterMail

    When installing Plesk with SmarterMail, the mailbox usage stats are calculated, however, the mail traffic usage stats (IMAP/POP3 + SMTP) are not calculated.

    It would be really useful that Plesk would calculate mail traffic usage for when SmarterMail is being used, otherwise, we cannot monitor the traffic usage made by our customers nor limit it.

  13. Allow REST API for Reseller and Subscriber

    Currently only the Plesk administrator can use REST API.
    Suggestion is to allow also reseller and customer use REST API as it's done for XML API

  14. [XML API] Use the "switch-subscription" request to associate a subscription with a service plan by its name and not only plesk_guid

    Currently, using XML API, it's possible to "switch-subscription" request to associate a subscription with a service plan by the plan GUID.

    Considering a scenario where multiple Plesk servers are used with same Service Plan names, their GUID would still differ so the same request to one server would not work on another. Therefore, it would be nice to have a "plan_name" node under "switch-subscription" so that the same request could be used on all servers

    https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/api-rpc/about-xml-api/reference/managing-subscriptions/switching-a-subscription-to-a-different-service-plan/samples.66391/#request-packet-structure

  15. Allow resellers to change main customer's domain name

    If the option 'Forbid customers to change the name of their main domain' set in Tools & Settings > Server Settings, reseller also unable to change the main domain.

    The Reseller is Administrator for his customers and should have this right.

  16. Ability to customize Password Reminder email

    Currently while it is possible to customize notifications body, there is no way to customize email sent when you click on Forgot password button on logging into Plesk. It would be nice to have ability to customize it as well: as I would like to add into this email my branding, images etc.

  17. Option to erase Nginx additional directives when turning Proxy-mode on

    When Proxy-mode is being turned on by clients, remaining WordPress Nginx additional directives affects sites processing since Nginx still works in a front-end. It makes Administrator to delete such directives every time domains is "switched to Apache" which is not convenient.

    Currently this can be automated only via manual scripts and Plesk Event Handler.

  18. Configure MailEnalbe Whitelist via Plesk

    There is White List under Tools & Settings > Mail Server Settings, it is used by SpamAssassin.

    MailEnalbe has also White List under Servers > localhost > Services and Connections > SMTP > Properties > Whitelist.

    MailEnalbe Whitelist cannot be managed through Plesk.

    It would be nice, to have ability to manage MailEnalbe Whitelist in Plesk interface

  19. Clone domain files and database

    Hello,
    Tipically having a CMS running (ie Prestashop) requires also setting up an exact copy for testing new features/uogrades/updates.
    We have to manually:
    1) Export/import database dump into a new one,
    2) copy files and dirs into a new (sub)domain
    3) change some settings (config files) to link new (sub)domain to the newly imported database

    Couldn't at least points 1) and 2) be automatized with a 1-click option after inserting some data (ie new database name, user, pw)?
    Cheers

  20. Order custom buttons

    It would be great to be able to customize the order of buttons shown in the right sidebar from Plesk GUI. (see attached image: default-order.png)

    For example, let's say to move the last button to the first position, so the customer will notice about it. (see attached image: custom-order.png)

    We are setting different custom buttons in Plesk for our customers and we want to set this custom order to call the attention of the end-user over the default Plesk buttons.
