Wordpress CPU and RAM usage stats and slow plugin warnings

Improvements for Wordpress Toolkit
Disable the built-in code editor adding define('DISALLOWCODEEDIT', true); in wp-config.php
Anonymize login error message because it actually tells you what is wrong (the username or the password), hooking into loginerrors with addfilter('login_errors, function() { return 'Login error'; });
Apply permission 400 (-rw-------) to wp-config.php
Change login URL avoiding the standard /wp-login.php or /wp-admin/ (pre)installing plugin "Lockdown WP Admin" or applying the same idea.
Block brute force (pre)installing plugin "Limit Login Attempts" or applying the same idea.
Mentioned plugins may be installed by default when Wordpress is installed through the APS, and may be added as an…

Allow Wordpress Scan to search for a custom directory name instead of wp-content
I habitually rename my wp-contents directory for security reasons (as part of iThemes Security). As a result Plesk no longer recognises the Wordpress installations on the server, when scanning so I'm unable to take advantage of Plesk's Wordpress features.
Please could this be modified to allow me to specify a custom name for my wp-contents directory?

Support Wordpress multi-site network in WP toolkit
It's a useful for me, to manage all my sites in one wp instance, using 3rd level domains, like mydomain.com, forum.mydomain.com, shop.mydomain.com, catalog.mydomain.com, etc.
29 votesHi Jeremy,
WP Toolkit supports WordPress multi-site if you enable the multi-site feature manually. However, it seems to make sense for us to provide an option of creating a multi-site WP instance upon the installation. Let us know if this will help you out.

WHMCS module for WordPress Toolkit
Is it possible to have an WHMCS module created exclusively for WordPress Toolkit, in order to allow clients to use it's options from within WHMCS's client areas?
Basically have clients don't leave WHMCS client areas and perform some actions from within their WHMCS client account (add new site if set multiple WordPress installs in hosting package, backup and restore, install let's encrypt ssl, activate/deactivate nginx, remove site, creati staging site etc...).

Different notification settings for available WordPress updates: Plugin, Theme or WordPress core
Email notifications to customers are sent on every available WordPress update, that's far too much. My clients don't take them for important anymore and don't update at all. I suggest to fine tune available settings in Tools & Settings > Notifications > APS application updates (customer’s digest): Different notification options if the available update is a WordPress Core update, a plugin update or a theme update. So for example the plugin and theme update notification could be turned off for customers, but WordPress core update notifications would be still sent.
Another suggestion would be an option to cutomize the FREQUENZY…

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.
13 votesThis is a valid request, so we'll look into it. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features.

Wordpress Toolkit favoritism and filtering
Currently the Wordpress Toolkit interface is a bit messy with all the Wordpress instances of you and your customers.
It would be great if there would be the possibility so that you can mark and filter for certain Wordpress instances. Marking with stars could make it possible that the most important Wordpress instances always appear on the top and can be checked for updates and security issues very quickly.12 votes -
Post-update hooks in WordPress Toolkit
Add post-update hooks in WordPress Toolkit, which can be used to automate the process of committing to Git (e.g. WordPress core and plugin updates that are automatically installed by WordPress Toolkit).
Use case:
Be able to respond to the event and write a program to do things like: a) commit the changes to the local git repository and push them to origin, b) trigger an alert in the monitoring system

ability to toggle WordPress REST API endpoints
I've recently discovered that by default, WordPress exposes a REST API endpoint at /wp-json/wp/v2/users which can be exploited to enumerate users. While I have found a workaround by creating a custom rewrite rule in IIS to block access to this endpoint, I believe this should be a built-in feature of the WP Toolkit.
I propose that Plesk add an option within the WP Toolkit to easily enable or disable access to specific REST API endpoints, such as /wp-json/wp/v2/users. This would provide an additional layer of security for WordPress sites and make it easier for administrators to protect their websites.
I…

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 :)
