The ability to rollback minor versions of PHP
It would be really useful to be able to rollback PHP by minor versions from the Plesk console.
I am currently having to run my website on PHP 5.6, because the auto-update from PHP 7.1.11 to 7.1.12 caused a problem with a specific plugin (NextGen Gallery) that caused 500 Errors on any page with a NextGen gallery embedded.
While I wait for the issue to be fixed, I tried using PHP 7.0.26, but that is affected by the same issue due to the update from 7.0.25. The result is that I am now forced to use PHP 5.6 because it's the only version not affected.
I searched everywhere, and contacted Plesk support and found that it's not possible to rollback PHP versions, but it would be great to be able to do this. If I could rollback to the previous minor update, i.e. from 7.1.12 to 7.1.11, or 7.0.26 to 7.0.25, the problem could be avoided while I wait for a fix.
You might think that just turning off auto-updates would help, but it really wouldn't, because we don't become aware of some issues until after we update, and then we'd need to rollback as per this request/proposal.

Thank you for your input!
Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.
