WordPress Toolkit: Reseller Plans to use individual sets
A a reseller I would like to be able to create my own specific plug-in 'sets' for my WordPress customers. Normally this should be done at this level, not by the 'top level' administrator.
Maybe it is possible to use the same tab and visualize created sets from resellers with an icon.
70 votesOnce upon a time we have released sets for resellers in WPT v5.2 a couple of minutes ago.
We’ve also managed to ensure that resellers can automatically provision WordPress with one of their sets when a new subscription is created.
Let us know on our forum if you have any feedback.

WordPress Installation tool: Change directory Url
It needs a possibility to change the URL or reload the correct Url of the installtion.
36 votesStarting with WPT 4.6, WordPress administrators can automatically update their website URL in the WordPress database and wp-config.php file based on the actual current URL. This procedure is particularly useful after migrating a website from a different location like your local workstation. The Update Site URL feature is available in the “hamburger” (context drop-down menu) on a WordPress site card.

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.

Checking Wordpress Plugins/Themes against the Wpvulndb
The Wordpress Toolkit utilities in Onyx are awesome, but it would be pretty cool it could also check currently installed plugins/themes(versions) against the WPScan Vulnerability Database https://wpvulndb.com/ or some similar service so that known vulnerabilities could be highlighted, or automatically forced to be updated...

Exclude plugins from auto-update
The auto-update is great, but it is even better to exclude plugins from the auto-update. Some plugins breaks the site or plugins are customized.
30 votesHey everyone, WordPress Toolkit v5.7 adds the ability to configure automatic updates for each individual plugin and theme on a site. This should allow you to exclude any plugins from autoupdates. Site-wide autoupdate policies were also adjusted accordingly.

Autoconfigure NGINX for WordPress Permalinks
WordPress Permalinks are not working with Nginx.
The Webpage shows the error: wordpress 404 ngix
The URL-rewriting with other Permalinks than pageID is not working with Nginx.Implementing this seems not easy (for me), just when you also want to use a WP caching tool.
Have a look here:https://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx
Please implement this out of the box by activating with checkbox etc...
Thanks
29 votesWe have addressed this request to a certain (reasonable) extent. Specifically:
- WP permalinks will work if nginx works in the nginx-only mode for a website, serving FPM
- WP permalinks won’t work if nginx is working as a proxy in front of Apache
- WP permalinks won’t work in case of custom error pages.
This change is available since around WPT 4.3.2. Let us know if you have any questions or comments on our forum: https://talk.plesk.com/forums/wordpress-toolkit.750/

add the option to add custom wordpress themes and plugins and enable the user to set those as standard for installation
As of now only the standard free Wordpress themes and plugins are available. This is kinda stupid since professional sites rely on professional themes and plugins being bought from reliable vendors.
As such it even makes sense to remove all basic themes upon installation.
The ideal option would be:
1. Supply and store a custom Wordpress theme or plugin in Plesk (which might include also a Child-theme)
2. Offer the option to supply that theme or plugin from 1. as standard to any Wordpress installation
3. Offer the option to update/upgrade the theme or plugin centrallyIn themes it is…
28 votesHey everyone,
We have released the ability to upload and install custom plugins and themes in WPT 2.5. Uploaded plugins/themes are added to the plugin/theme pool and are available for installation. You can also add them to plugin/theme sets and preinstall them whenever a new subscription is created.

Plesk API - support for Wordpress cloning
I suggest creating an option to use Plesk API for cloning a Wordpress installation. This is well easy now in GUI environment but does not support third-party dashboard integration.
It would be great to implement this into Plesk API so clients would be able to create staging environment on one click without a need to login to the Plesk interface.

Update of paid WordPress plugins via WordPress Toolkit
As you know, WordPress Toolkit can update plugins and themes installed only from WordPress.org. Paid plugins installed from vendors' websites cannot be updated using WordPress Toolkit.
It's not convenient to update plugins from WordPress.org in the WordPress Toolkit and log into WordPress admin dashboard to update paid ones, so please implement this feature.
Especially considering that it's possible to update both free and paid plugins in the WP dashboard (in the menu "Updates").13 votesWordPress Toolkit 4.7 now can update paid plugins & themes, if these updates are available in the WordPress admin area. Note that certain plugins and themes do not support automatic updates, but display notifications about update availability anyway. This particulal scenario isn’t fully supported yet.

- on the same Server inside Plesk
- to another Server with Plesk installation

Option to disable wp-cron and set up crontab
Add an option to WordPress Toolkit to disable wp-cron.php execution and optionally create a real cron job.
You would have to add:
define('DISABLEWPCRON', true);
to wp-config.php and than give the admin a choice to set up a cron job with custom times (e.g. every 10Min or 6h).See: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/real-cron-job/
12 votesThe ability to disable wp-cron was added in WPT 4.7. Users can enable a switch on each site, disabling wp-cron execution. This will also create a scheduled task in Plesk which you can modify to change the execution frequency.
Server administrators can also choose to enable this feature on all new WordPress sites. This is done on WPT Settings screen.
