  1. Show password protected directories in the overview of websites

    Show password protected directories in the overview of websites. A key symbol would be very cool to show websites, which are protected.

  2. Stop postfix from delivering mail locally when MX record points externally to avoid mailbox hijack e.g. @gmail.com addresses.

    Prevent mail interception / hijack where any customer can create domains when not prohibited explicitly and intercept for example a john.doe@gmail.com mailbox because SMTP will deliver this locally if the mailbox exists.

    Almost every domain on the internet does have its own MX record and many of them are operate their own email server (not only Gmail). Why not address this potential security issue by checking MX records not only if the domain exists locally.

    Thank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

    For the time being, please consider using Tools & Settings > Security > Prohibited Domain Names to prevent users from creating well-known domain names in their accounts.

    The Sitejet team is working on a "copy and paste" website feature which allows users to copy a website and "import" it in another Sitejet account. It is also already possible to see a preview of the website in Sitejet Builder (screenshot -> Open preview website).

  4. Limit maximum crontab frequency and preventing cronjobs pile-up

    Plesk administrator should be able to limit the maximum crontab frequency allowed for user's crontab (example: deny the creation of cronjob that run more often than once in 5 minutes)

    Crontab pile-up should be prevented, so a user can't run a cron job if the same job isn't finished yet.

    Thank you for your idea.

    For the time being, please consider that a script that is started via cronjob, should check itself if another instance of the same script is already running, if there is a risk that a further instance causes problems. Crontab cannot check that. 

    Also, please be aware that users are not bound to repeat actions in a script in a while-loop. They can easily start a script every 10 minutes, yet let it run over and over again by just putting their content into a while-loop, maybe even wait a few seconds after each iteration. So limiting them to create cronjobs for only every n minutes will not keep users from executing scripts all the time.

    We'd like to hear more from other users what they think about the idea. If it still becomes popular, it might find its way into a future version of the…

  5. plesk advisor score functionality needs enhancement

    The Plesk advisor complains about not having installed the Plesk firewall, but it doesn't check iptables rules. I have setup my own iptables rules deriven and enhanced from the Plesk firewall. My setup also supports ipset rules which Plesk doesn't.
    Thus, the advisor score mechanism should check if iptables rules are present and setup sophisticatedly.

  7. Add a "Status" column in the Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs) list

    The status of a task is currently indicated by a grey or green icon in the "Schedule" column.
    It is typical for number of servers to have numerous tasks (let's say.... a bunch of them!)
    Adding the availability to sort tasks by their status will be a great help.

    Thank you for your idea. We understand that you would like to have the status icon in a separate column, making it possible to sort all jobs by their status "active" or "inactive". We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

  9. Add Purge Cache button for wordpress instance

    Add a button under each wordpress instance for purging cache.
    Its a simple solution that should be implemented. Can remove a lot of headache for any support team dealing with customers.

    A simple solution that runs with wp cache flush (wp cli), just integrate a button in wp toolkit.

  10. Improve speed of Migration Manager re-sync process

    Because there is a re-sync option, the overall speed of the initial data transfer with Plesk Migration Manager (PMM) doesn't matter that much (to us), however when re-syncing the speed of the process is super important because domain web and email services on the source server must be down/offline to prevent data inconsistencies. The re-sync process currently takes roughly 1 hour per 100 subscriptions.

    Here's three ways the re-sync process could be improved to minimize web and email service downtime:

    # 1. Fetch configuration data ONCE

    PMM batches 5 subscriptions at a time, and prior to each batch of 5,…

  11. Allow user to set timezone for File manager

    It would be extremely helpful to be able to set the timezone in the File manager. Currently the file manager shows the file timestamp in the timezone where the server is running. A user is not always aware of the physical location of the server to which they have logged in.

    There should be a setting (or a toggle) on the file manager to allow the user to see the timezone that is being used for display. It would be even better to allow the user to set the timezone for which they wish to see the timestamps. The optimal…

  14. Cloudflare DNS extension for Plesk: Add option to sync subdomain on separate subscription

    If I add a subdomain as a subscription (so that it is isolated from other (sub)domains) then I can't sync those subdomains with CloudFlare using Plesk's Cloudflare DNS.

    According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/ Cloudflare allows to do that only for the enterprise plan. At the moment, only very few users would benefit from a feature as most are on the Cloudflare free plan. 

    Nevertheless we will consider to implement the feature in a future update of the extension. 

    Please continue to vote for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

  15. Add PHP shmop extension support useful for Wordpress performance and site health

    When you run the Wordpress Helath Check under Wordpress Tools menù and you run a Plesk server you will get the following alert:

    You should allow inter-process communication Performance
    You should consider using shared memory (PHP shmop) to allow inter-process communication.

    Could I suggest to add the PHP shmop support?
    I'm running PHP 8.3 and I'm not sure to use SSH command to try to get this extension working, will be nice if in the future this can be integrated in Plesk as ... today Wordpress is a very used CMS and we want always to have good performance.

    Thank…

    Thank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.


    Meanwhile, if you want to try to install shmop yourself, these are the general steps (provided here without warranty, try it on a test server before applying it to your production system):


    1) Install Plesk PHP development package:

    For RPM-based OS (CentOS, RHEL, CloudLinux):

    # yum install plesk-php83-devel

    For Debian-based OS (Debian, Ubuntu):

    # apt install plesk-php83-dev build-essential


    2) Check what's the currrent version of your PHP 8.0

    # /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php -v


    3) Download PHP source based on the version of the step 2

    For example:

    # wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2

    Please pay special attention that the version matches the one determined in step 2!


    4) Extract the .tar file of the PHP downloaded

    # tar -xvjf /root/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2

    Again, the version shown here…

  16. Update cloudlinux db-governor users when plesk admin password/username was changed

    1. Plesk should change the string in /etc/container/mysql-governor.xml when changing the admin password with cli command: plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd 'PASSWORD'

    2. Plesk should change the string in /etc/container/mysql-governor.xml when the admin password/username is changed in Plesk UI.

  17. Add curresponding CLASS / ID to each page in plesk

    In order to support custom css themes, there should be a top class / id that represents the page we're viewing right now.
    There is no way to say via CSS that we view smb/web/view or any other page. So Custom CSS rules are applied broadly to all pages, which limits the option to hide elements, add "::before, ::after" content, redesign specific pages and not all pages with certain CSS rules.

    How should it be implemented:
    You can implement page classes / ids in the html tag or body tag or right after body tag.
    For example:
    1. In "smb/web/view",…
