    Currently in Tools & Settings > Branding it is possible to change logo for both: login page and top-left corner.
    It would be nice to make the feature more flexible: separate logo change for login page and for top-left corner

  2. Plesk Support

    I'm helping my father migrate a website built in another hosting provider to Plesk. However, I am facing some issues and I'd like your help.

    Does Plesk offer any support? If so how it works?

  3. Wordpress Toolkit - URL switch (main URL <=> preview URL)

    Hello,

    I would like to suggest something which could be VERY helpfull to customers which are moving their Wordpress instances between servers. Lets say you have domain.com on Server1. Then you are moving it to Server2 with Plesk and Wordpress Toolkit but domain.com is still pointing to Server1. Issue with Wordpress is that if you don't use main URL then all media files (css, images etc) are not being loaded correctly and customer can't be sure if everything will work correctly when he switch DNS settings for domain.com from Server1 to Server2.

    My suggestion is that it would be great…

  4. Add possibility to change default webmail.<domain> subdomain to custom

    At the moment by default any webmail interface is under domain webmail.<domain>

    Some people would like to use custom one. For me personally it's important to have this as server-wide setting (I have basic workaround for this - custom domainWebmail.php), but it isn't perfect (many links to webmail service missing, e.t.c.).

    And that's why we have plesk - user friendly interface.

  6. add the option to add custom wordpress themes and plugins and enable the user to set those as standard for installation

    As of now only the standard free Wordpress themes and plugins are available. This is kinda stupid since professional sites rely on professional themes and plugins being bought from reliable vendors.

    As such it even makes sense to remove all basic themes upon installation.

    The ideal option would be:
    1. Supply and store a custom Wordpress theme or plugin in Plesk (which might include also a Child-theme)
    2. Offer the option to supply that theme or plugin from 1. as standard to any Wordpress installation
    3. Offer the option to update/upgrade the theme or plugin centrally

    In themes it is…

    Hey everyone,

    We have released the ability to upload and install custom plugins and themes in WPT 2.5. Uploaded plugins/themes are added to the plugin/theme pool and are available for installation. You can also add them to plugin/theme sets and preinstall them whenever a new subscription is created.

    If you have other ideas or feedback on how this feature works, reach us at our forum here: https://talk.plesk.com/forums/plesk-extensions.725/.

    Thank you for your feedback!

  7. Renew a subscription

    Ability to renew a subscription based on the subscription plan's configured subscription expiry date.

    So if a subscription expires in ten days from now and it's subscription plan is set to expire in one year, I would like to be able to click a Renew button to extend the subscription with one more expiry unit (1 year in this case, 2 years if the subscription plan would have been set to expire every two years).

    Also show renewal date in the list and sort by renewal date

  9. Anonymize IP in logs instead of disabling them completely

    It would be great to have an option to anonymize IP addresses, not to disable it completely to get rid of issues with statistics displaying. For example as it is for Plesk on Linux.

    Currently, Plesk for Windows has an option to completely disable IP addresses logging In Tools & Settings > Server Settings which affects web statistics.

  10. Allow multiple SSH-accounts in a subscription

    Currently only the main user-account (=system-user) can get access via SSH. Additional users and ftp-users only have access via FTP.

    Please allow setting up additional users using SSH as well.

  11. Fix Mailman so it would not require too permissive Postfix settings

    In order for Mailman to work properly, the localhost addresses should be whitelisted, and "permitmynetworks" directive specified in the "smtpdclient_restrictions" of Postfix configuration.
    However, these setting let the unauthenticated users sending SPAM via PHP scripts.

    Thank you for your input!

    As far as I know, Mailman hasn’t any ability to authorize itself on mail servers, so the server IP should be whitelisted on the mail server. Please forward your request to Mailman developers.

    Sorry, we are closing the request as it doesn’t include improvement proposal for Plesk.

  12. Set the root directory to INBOX in mail autodiscover for Outlook

    By default, the Mail Audodiscover function does not set the Root folder path to "INBOX" in Outlook, which results in an odd directory structure:

    Inbox
    Drafts
    Sent
    Trash
    Spam
    Outbox

    Please provide a way to configure this without having to manually edit the mail server configuration files.

  13. In this Free SSL era, customers should be able to install SSL certificates with API, for automation (like cPanel)

    Two issues I am facing with Plesk API for SSL certificate:

    1. The end user (customer) should have permission to manage SSL/TLS Certificates with API: The customer can install an SSL certificate with the GUI but not with API. My shared hosting provider has hidden the Let's Encrypt SSL option. I can install a LE SSL with the GUI. But manually renewing the SSL certificate every two months is a time-consuming task and if I forget to renew, the SSL will expire. If Plesk allows the end user (customer) to install SSL certificates with the API, I can easily automate the…

  14. Set how often spamtrain runs

    I would like the ability to set spamtrain to run once a week (and possibly set the day of the week) instead of every morning. This process uses a considerable amount of CPU cycles and makes it so the daily maintenance cycle takes several hours to complete.

  15. Delete mail after forwarding

    I would like to use an E-Mail address as an outgoing E-Mail address with no postbox behind it. All E-Mails should be forwarded to another E-Mail address.
    Currently you can set up forwarding but if you check "Use postbox" than the mails will be kept on the server although they have been forwarded. If you uncheck it, it is impossible to send emails from that address.

    So please add at least an option to delete mails after forwarding them.

    In Plesk 18.0.37 added the option to automatically remove emails forwarded from a mailbox in Plesk. The feature is disabled by default. To enable it, go to “Mail”, click the desired mailbox, open the “Forwarding” tab and select the “Do not deliver copies of forwarded emails to the Plesk mailbox” checkbox.

  16. Support for HTTP Strict Transport Security / HSTS

    I'm wondering if Plesk also will implent HTTP Strict Transport (or HSTS) Security in the GUI. It's an extra layer of security for sites who need to be extra secure.

    It's being done with a special header (mod_headers for Apache) and a TLS connection. The client (browser) can then verify if the server is the real server and not a man-in-the-middle server/attack.

    It's as simple as adding the following code to the vhost config (HTTPS only!):

    Apache:
    Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"

    Nginx:
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains";

    Hi!

    The functionality is now available in the SSL It! Plesk Extension: https://ext.plesk.com/packages/3c4117f6-c05c-4d3b-9173-60f10096a9c4-sslit

    How to find it:
    1. install SSL It! Extension (it’s available for Plesk 17.8+)
    2. go to > SSL/TLS Certificates
    3. if there is no SSL Certificate installed on the domain – issue one (using, for example, free Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate)
    4. if an SSL Certificate is installed on the domain, there is a switcher HSTS, turn it on
    5. Voila!

    We would appreciate hearing your feedback on the implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

  18. Per domain catch-all in multi-domain subscription

    Currently catchall e-mail addresses are subscription based, meaning you can only set 1 catchall for all domains in a subscription. This is just... Well.. Bad :-)

    I'd like to request that catchall e-mail addresses can be configured on a per domain basis in a subscripton with multiple domains.

    As far as I can tell catchall email addresses is the only email related option that is not configurable per-domain but only in a per-subscription basic. Thus the catchall is a bit weird compared to all the other email options.

    We are in the process of migrating from DirectAdmin to Plesk, and…

  19. Have an option to deliver email addressed to VERP-style email addresses.

    Postfix already has the option, but it doesn't seem to be supported on Plesk.

    I want to use VERP so I can automatically process bounce messages with a script. I send out bulk email with a return-path like bounces+uid-john=example.com@ourdomain.com and I want the bounces to be delivered to bounces@ourdomain.com

    Postfix has the configuration parameter recipientdelimiter. If I set that in /etc/postfix/main.cf, the server accepts the email and passes it to pleskvirtual. But then it is silently discarded instead of being delivered to the bounces mailbox.

    The only way I see with the current set up to deliver…
