Update custom/premium assets like themes and plugins with Smart Updates
The WordPress Toolkit and Smart Updates shall register custom/premium assets like themes and plugins which aren't available on WordPress.org.

Retrieve the WordPress password and admin username of the customer
We'd like to auto-deploy some wordpress instances on our Plesk server. I've tested the Wordpress Toolkit, and it works great, but I have one problem : The Wordpress admin password isn't sent to the customer.
I know that we can read the password from the Plesk Interface, but I'd like our users to get their wordpress password without having them to log on into Plesk.
Please implement any solution to send the Wordpress password to the customer, e.g to get it trough the API call or to be able to sent the email notification directly from Plesk.

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

Enable "Compatible With" field in Worpress Theme and Plugin
This is an important update without which you can not guarantee the installation of themes and plugins in compatible versions, causing rework.
Each version of a plugin or theme is compatible with a range of versions of Wordpress and other plugins that are used together to provide the features declared by the developer of a given plugin or theme.
At a first moment you can add the fields below in the "Upload Pugin" or "Upload Theme" screen:
Wordpress Minimum Version
Wordpress Maximum Version
These values can be used in the "Install Wordpress" screen to validate the versions being used in…6 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases, if it will be popular.

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:

Add option to create temporary admin account in WordPress Toolkit for support access

Let wp-cron run every minute by default
Currently, when enabling 'Take over wp-cron.php' and 'Create a replacement task (...)', the cron job that's created only runs twice an hour. (See screenshot attached)
This seems wrong; any Wordpress cronjob that needs to run at a higher interval, will fire too late.
There is no performance benefit to running wp-cron less often, in fact, it might cause performance problems, because late jobs would pile up.Can the default wp-cron.php interval be changed to every minute, please?
One source that offers some more explanation: https://wpengine.com/support/wp-cron-wordpress-scheduling/
Missed crons and crons that run too frequently can both be resolved by enabling the…

Support update of constants such as WP_PLUGIN_DIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
Wordpress Toolkit does not support update of constants such as WPPLUGINDIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
For example if wp-config.php file for example.com is configured with:
define( 'WPPLUGINDIR', '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/wp-content/plugins' );and example.com is cloned to staging.example.com the WPPLUGINDIR is not updated.

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…

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.
