Please enabling control of the WordPress update notification display.
The reason is the function of WordPress Tool Kit may become unusable at all, when WordPress has been updated to new major version by user.
Perhaps, I think that to solve by applying the new MU, but I want to test enough for that.
It takes time of apply of the new MU by test and they can't use WordPress Tool Kit during this period.

Integration with localwp
Localwp (https://localwp.com/) is an amazing tool for WordPress development. It integrates with two hosts, FlyWheel and WPEngine, which works amazingly well as well. You can clone an environment from the host to your local environment and upload it back to your host in a matter of a few clicks.
If there could be a Plesk integration as well, that would make the be great!!! ( https://localwp.com/host-interest/ )
6 votesCloning a website from a production server to a staging server and vice versa can be done with a few clicks in the WP Toolkit that comes with Plesk. It is already very easy to have a staging environment online in the same webspace account like the production website, yet in a separate domain or subdomain where all settings can be individually tested risk-free. This is technically much better than to have an installation locally, because it shares the same environment with the production website. There is no need for a third-party solution as WP Toolkit already has all that is needed.
However, we know that users like to stay with the software they are accustomed to. Plesk has a solution for it: If you prefer to have an interface from localwp to Plesk, please suggest to localwp developers to create an extension for Plesk using the free Plesk API.

Service plan, that deploys WordPress on another VPS
Service plan, that deploys WordPress on another VPS
Or another mechanism, that will let you allocate not a separate space for the customer on the same server, but a separate VPS with a WordPress install with a 1 click.3 votesThis feature did not become popular over the years. We must decline it. Meanwhile it became very easy to install new Wordpress websites. Using the "Install Wordpress" button from the WP Toolkit that is included with Plesk, new Wordpress installations can be created with very few mouse clicks.

wordpress tabs
I would like to suggest an extra tab with only the plugins/themes which can be updated.
Checking what an "update all" does before hitting that link is a drag when one has pages full of plugins... Same for themes.2 votesThank you for your input!

Create an extension that allows one-click JetPack installs
Similar to CloudFlare and BoldGrid, it would be great if there was a paid/subscription extension that allowed me to offer WordPress customers one-click installation of the JetPack (https://jetpack.com/) Personal or Premium plugin (with a negotiated volume or subscription rate).
Perhaps it could also allow customers to upgrade to Professional at their own cost.
My use case: I want to advertise that JetPack Premium is included with all WordPress hosting plans. However, they do not have any volume pricing, and a "one-click" plugin would be nice to handle the logistics.

Allow Wordpress Toolkit feature - administrative settings
We enforce keeping Wordpress up-to-date and would like to see the option to disable the "no updates" updating option in the Wordpress Toolkit. This would allow us to offer our customers the Security fixes only (minimum) option or all updates (maximum) update option.

wordpress migration filter for sites/plugins or themes with update
In the wordpress migration tools, I would like to see a switch/option to show only the plugins/themes/sites with updates.
In a few hundred plugins it's unclear which 3 or 4 are actual having an update.
Or, as an alternative, give the update marker its own column so I can sort them together.2 votesThank you for your input!

Make Wordpress Toolkit aware of virtual directories and their PHP version
Scenario
You have a legacy site that only supports up to a certain version of PHP on the root of domainname.co.uk (let's say PHP 5.6)You also have a WordPress installation on domainname.co.uk/blog/ which is also a virtual directory.
Via virtual directory for the blog, you have selected PHP 8.2
WP Toolkit is not aware of the setting of the virtual directory and assumes the PHP version to be the same as the root.
After upgrading WP to 6.6.x WP Toolkit displays "Broken WordPress site" but the WordPress installation is actually fine.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. WP Toolkit uses the panel's API to know which handler is used for a domain, and cannot support any manual configurations. For example you can create different domain for this site, with document root inside the docroot of the main site or proxy requests from the main domain's subfolder to the domain.
In these cases WP Toolkit can detect correctly the PHP handler for a site (just because there are panel's entities), and the site can be accessible via http in subfolder.

Scheduling WP Toolkit notifications
Please implement an option in Plesk to allow scheduling the email notifications sent by WP Toolkit.
As an example, this option should allow scheduling when a notification should be sent for available updates, successful updates and failed updates.

Prevent wp-config.php from being zeroed out when disk quota for the subscription has been exceeded and WP debug was enabled.
If the disk quota for the subscription has been exceeded, enabling WP debug for the domain either from WP-Toolkit or from WP Debug Log plugin will result in wp-config.php file having 0 size, which results in the not available WP site.
1 voteWe have assessed this to be a product issue and have filed it as such as internal ID EXTWPTOOLK-10743. The behavior will be fixed in a future update. For that reason the feature request has been declined.

switch Wordpress toolkit screenshot service to use only fixed and published IPs
I offer to switch Wordpress toolkit screenshot service to use only fixed and published IPs, for security purpose.
1 voteThere are no plans to do changes to the existing screenshot function as it is asynchronous and should not affect operations. If you are experiencing issues with it, please open a support ticket with Plesk support. Also, this request only received 1 vote in 2 years. It did not become popular.
If you would like to disable screenshots altogether, you can add this section to the panel.ini file:
[screenshotService]
url = ""and restart the panel services afterwards:
service sw-engine restart && service sw-cp-server restart
Since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51 requests from the Plesk Screenshot Service to websites hosted in Plesk are marked by the custom “Plesk screenshot bot” User-Agent header.

Check Wordpress Plugin/Theme Updates through the regular WP way
Extending Wordpress with a custom Update Server, and hook into update check routines has no effect on how WP Toolkit evaluates possible Updates.
