Skip 2FA plugins when logging into Wordpress through the WP Toolkit login button
When the miniOrange 2 Factor Authentication (MFA) plugin is enabled Wordpress Toolkit provides a failed login attempt error and sends a notification before letting to insert MFA. It would be better if when logging in to WP Dashboard from Plesk UI there will be no failed login attempts when any mfa is enabled

Add support to the WordPress Toolkit for sites with different "WordPress URL" and "Site URL" settings
The WordPress settings has an option for the WordPress URL and the Site URL to be different - i.e. the WordPress site files are in a sub-directory. But sites in this configuration do not work properly in the WordPress Toolkit.
Given this is a core feature of WordPress and one used by a lot of sites, I think support for it in the WordPress Toolkit should be a priority.
Details from WordPress about this option:

Ability to specify what WordPress sets are available for customers in Service plan

WooCommerce Staging Process (cloning without overwriting Woocommerce content)
WooCommerce = at least 1/3 of ALL e-commerce websites use WooCommerce.
Can Plesk please make a process that works EASY for people to do the following on a WP and WooCommerce site:
Live site > Clone to Stage site > Copy to Live site
The issue is customers, orders, and products on the Live site can't be replaced/over-written, etc when you copy back to live site.
THIS PROCESS WOULD MAKE MONEY for Plesk, as for some reason, it doesn't exist anywhere, that I know of.
Please implement it :)

Improve WP-Toolkit "Sort by" mechanim
At this moment, whenever a WP site is synced, the appearance of an instance at the top of the list is expected in any sort. This was done in order to make it easier to find an instance in the list.
This means the "Sort by" URL mechanism is not being respected, this change is considered a point of improvement to not cause damage to people relying on the "sort by" mechanism to distinguish their instances.

Add the possibility to customize the WordPress Toolkit Set to install WP in a custom directory
Add the possibility to customize the WordPress Toolkit Set to install WP in a custom directory (e.g., “/wp”) instead of installing it in the root folder (httpdocs)
Reason: The automatic WP installation performed via a WordPress Toolkit Set through a Hosting Plan would work fine if the customer’s current site is not built on WP or another php-based platform, but will fail and mess up their current site if their domain already contains a WP or php-based installation at the root level.

WordPress Toolkit support for Bedrock-powered WordPress instances
Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that implements several improvements related to WordPress setups.
Better folder structure
Dependency management with Composer
Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
Environment variables with Dotenv
Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
Enhanced security (separated web root and secure passwords with wp-password-bcrypt)More information on Bedrock can be found here: https://roots.io/bedrock/
Plesk's WordPress Toolkit cannot currently handle Bedrock-powered WordPress instances.
Because some of Bedrock improvements are considered to be current best practices and provide safer setups, it would be nice to see support for Bedrock-powered instances in WordPress Toolkit.

Add Smart Update to a Service Plan
I would like to be able to add the Smart Updates feature to a specific service plan.
It wouldn’t be activated for all new installations just the users of a specific plan.
I would buy 30 sites of Smart Updates for WPT. If the new customer chooses the 'starter' plan they don't get the Smart Update, if they choose the 'super' plan then they get Smart Update for free. Free meaning it would be deducted from my quantity of sites purchased. Then it would automatically activate on their account.
I love the functionality of Smart Updates and want to make…

Add global option to control default value of "Search Indexing Enabled" and "Debugging" for newly created site
We've WordPress development company and use Plesk for managing lots of staging servers for projects under development.
All domains are created automatically via API as part of the project's start process, and, of course, all instances that are under development should not be indexed during the development stage (as it will affect the page index of the site in production).
By default, "Search Indexing" option is enabled, and this is quite inconvenient and error prone for us (as it requires manual setup of the created instance).
Adding global server-wide configuration option for WP Toolkit that will control such default behavior…2 votese will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.
