More descriptive Action Log for WordPress Toolkit
Make Action Log more descriptive for actions such the ones in WordPress Toolkit.
I.E.: Actions are registered like the installation with full information like for example the version of the product however, when it gets updated, the versions are not shown anymore neither initial and final.
8 votesWordPress Toolkit v5.4 now includes site logs for each WordPress installation. These logs contain info about important WordPress Toolkit actions performed on a site, so I’m closing this request as completed.
Note: we still need to add a number of other actions to the log, and this is something we’re already working on in scope of upcoming WPT v5.5 release. A separate interface for viewing log files will also be included.
Let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

Add the possibility to define which theme will be set by default after the WordPress installation
For example when we add the required theme into the WordPress set, after the installation the "Twenty Twenty" theme will be set as default.
Please add the possibility to define which theme will be set by default after the WordPress installation as via the CLI method as via Plesk GUI.
The CLI method is important here because some customers use only this method for a WordPress installation.
6 votesWe have released this feature in WPT 5.2 update. You can use GUI or CLI to choose a theme that should be activated upon the installation of a set.
CLI command example: plesk ext wp-toolkit —sets -operation activate-theme -set-id ID -theme-id THEME_ID
If you’re using GUI, go to Sets and click on “+ Add Themes” button next to the corresponding theme.Let us know on our forum (talk.plesk.com) if you encounter any issues.

Translation of WordPress Toolkit 2.0
The new features of the WP-Toolkit are awesome. But I am missing localization. Insise the system every button and explaining texts are only in english.

Customize Quick installation of Wordpress
It would be great to add ability to customize Quick installation settings of Wordpress. For example,currently it is not possible to change installation path in case of Quick installation option is selected. However it maybe required to modify the path without customizing other options (such as Administrative access credentials, main configuration etc), Having ability to modify default quick installation settings would be a nice tool, which make it easier to use WordPress for end-users.

Wordpress Update-Notification E-Mails - adjust Mail Frequency
As lot of our Customers / Reseller complain abaut the Daily sent Wordpress Update Mails - it would be important if we could change the Frequency of the Mails ... so we could say send them once per week ...
We know that we can disable them completely - but that's not an option - as it's important to urge Customers to upgrade their WP installations ... but E-Mail every day is too much! ;-)
Thank you
Andreas Schnederle-Wagner3 votesThere was a bug in Plesk that caused notifications about the same updates to be sent every day until these updates were installed. This bug was fixed in the latest Plesk MU (#32), so the root cause of customer complains should be resolved.

1 Click install wordpress core files
Hi,
A must have feature would be to have a button to 1 click install wordpress core files.
Lets say you got a wordpress site with wordpress 4.9.
This wordpress got hacked, you got tons of files infected in wordpress core.
In one click wp toolkit can replace all website's cores files with fresh ones.That would help handling with hacked websites in a matter of minutes, instead of doing it manually.
2 votesAbility to verify WP core file checksums and reinstall WP core files was added in WordPress Toolkit v5.6.
Cheers!
