Add MariaDB Connector/ODBC
> Drivers
With MySQL and MariaDB going their own way more and more, it is important to add MariaDB Connector/ODBC as an programming interface to Plesk as well. Side by side with the already available MySQL Connector/ODBC. This is easily done.
One cannot guarantee MySQL Connector/ODBC to be compatible with MariaDB in the near future.
Download MariaDB Connector/ODBC from here:

support BIMI TXT Resource Records by direct connect Mark Validation Authority
With the growing importance of brand protection, and the relative ease of implementation, it is surprising that there is no convenient connection (which I imagine would be profitable for Plesk) with a Mark Validation Authority, for authentication of the Brand Identifiers for Message Identification Resource Record in a way that is as easy to access/sign up to/create the record with (including the tinySVG format/conversion) required for anything other than a self-sign.
This has implications for simple convenience of customers, potential income of Plesk, security for customers and awareness of brands of users. https://bimigroup.org/ - it is no wonder most…
10 votesA BIMI TXT record is just a DNS TXT record as it can be set in all nameservers, including Plesk DNS. It looks like this:
default._bimi.[domain] IN TXT “v=BIMI1; l=[SVG URL]; a=[PEM URL]
There is no additional feature required to create that record, it can already be added.

WordPress User Enumeration protection
Implement protection from WordPress User Enumeration vulnerability directly into Plesk.
As of now it is possible with WordPress plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/stop-user-enumeration/1 voteThis ability has been available in WordPress Toolkit for quite some time. The security measure you’re looking for is called “Block author scans” and it does just what you want. Let us know if this doesn’t cover your request for some reason.

Fix the "Permission denied" problem in API RPC for customers
When using API RPC in an extension it returns "Permission denied" response for customers on any function in version 12.0.18 update #5. There is similar problem in version 11.5.30 update #47 except that the error is thrown in try..catch statement calling "pm_ApiRpc::getService()" method.
2 votesThank you for reporting this issue. It was fixed in one of the updates for Plesk 12.0. Additional details are available in Eugene’s comment.

Keep backups if a customer account is deleted (optional)
The feature "Deleting a customer account now results in all backups belonging to that account being deleted as well" was implemented since Plesk Onyx 17.0.15
Add an opportunity to choose will the customer's backups be removed together with the customer or not
7 votesWe have reviewed this request once again and still think, it makes no difference to keep backups of a "deleted" account compared to just keeping the account including the backups as "disabled". In both cases the result is the same: Data are kept and in case they are needed they can be restored. Actually the current situation is even better, because there you don't need to have a backup that has been created as a "backup" (e.g. in Backup manager), but you have the account content as long as you need it.
Your argument here was that in some cases law requires to keep backups of customer data. But what do you do if the customer did not create a "backup", e.g. with Backup Manager? Instead with simply disabling an account and deleting it later you always fulfill the requirement to have a "backup" of the customer's data. We believe…

Update the security options to best practice for domains page
Tiny things, should be easily implemented:
1) For HSTS the recommended settings are
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
Otherwise if you add it elsewhere (the server headers page) you have to turn this off or get two headers implemented, and you do not get the full security rating on that security page and looks like something is missing (plus inconvenient if you do not know what to do).
2) OCSP stapling is something no longer recommended, and probably should be removed. Perhaps this could be replaced with automatic setup of the DS and CAA records (especially given the range…
1 voteWe regret to inform you that since no additional details were provider for over a month and we still have no clear idea of the user benefits over the existing option we are closing the request.

In domain logs allow select all function in order to copy to firewall rules
This feature requests comes from having to manually copy and paste bad IP's from the domain log files. It would be a request that when you carried out a search for say POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0 or GET /wp-login.php HTTP/1.0 from brute force hacking or malware bots you can easily just select all, then paste this over to the block list in the Firewall rules.
2 votesThis request only received 2 votes during 3 years. It did not become popular. It may also not be the best possible choice to block individual IPs like suggested as attackers frequently change IPs which will easily result in hundreds or thousands of blocked IPs in the firewall. That again will slow down network traffic. Instead we suggest to use Fail2Ban that comes with Plesk to automatically block attacker IPs. Fail2Ban has the capability to analyze log files automatically, to identify trouble sources and to ban these IPs for a pre-defined duration.

Plesk firewall - advanced settings
It would be great to be able to control the rules that are currently not mentioned in the GUI of the Plesk Firewall extension. Perhaps, some "Advanced options" menu could be added there, for example to tweak the policies that applied initially(these are not showing in the GUI)

It is already included in roadmap for Plesk Multi Server
https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/multi-server-guide/about-plesk-multi-server/roadmap.77464/

Abilty to activate Zram and Zswap !
If possible the ablity to activate Zram or Zswap from the panel and monitor under server information.
I know these are easy to implement, without Plesk but would be a neat feature. These are both implemented in most Kernels now anyway and not activating at least one seems to be leaving server performance on the table.
Ability to configure Swap size and compression algo and monitor.
Default swap size 50% of Ram seems to work great as a default.

Mail Delivery Reports
Hi
I have tried to see if this idea has been mentioned but have not found one yet.
For a long time with my hosting provider i have been using WHM and since we have had to move to a new host and start to use plesk we are finding it great but missing a certain feature which we think could help other people and their clients as we get asked if we can check this from time to time.
Once feature we thought was great in WHM was the Mail Delivery Reports If somthing like this can be implement…
8 votesWe are happy to announce that the ability to Track Email Delivery is now available in Log Browser 1.8.0. In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the "Mail" tab). If an email has been deferred, the reason also be shown.
You can find additional information at https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#log-browser-1.8.0.
If you have any feedback on the implementation of this feature, please let us know on the forum: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/your-experience-with-mail-delivery-troubleshooting-in-plesk.373062/

Database per domain accessibility
Database for the domain should be easily accessible from domain/subscription. Currently too many clicks and you have to scroll down for too long if you have many domains until you find the right database.
1 voteThere is databases list settings selector in Subscriptions → → databases. It looks like a wrench. It allows to switch into “classic” mode that will show all databases as a list and also there is “search” field.

Symantec SSL
Symantec SSL interesting feature. I specialy liked this part, "Help me pick the right certificate". But there is a big minus for this extension, there is no way you can see at forehand what you are going to pay at the end. Why don't put the prices beneed the several options and brands?
1 voteThank you for your input!
Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

Allow logins to WordPress while "maintenance" mode is engaged.
Imagine being able to perform actual maintenance, when "maintenance mode" is engaged... Instead, actual maintenance can only be done with a 3rd party extension. Or, consider changing the labeling of "maintenance mode" to "WordPress On/Off" since engaging maintenance mode prevents actual maintenance, prevents logging in, and just shuts down the site.
1 voteThis ability was added to WordPress Toolkit v5.7. You can turn it off in maintenance mode settings, if you wish so.

Make it easy to move extensions from old server to new one
Hello,
I had to change my web hosting provider because of their very poor service. In the process, the old provider did not help and I lost the money I paid for the extensions installed in the old server because I could not transfer them to the new one. It would be very beneficial to provide an easy process for license transfers between servers.

Add an option to unlink a site from WordPress Toolkit list.
Hi. I have about 50 sites on my Plesk server. Some are Wordpress sites developed outside this server and uploaded after development ended. Once I scan the server, all Wordpress sites are added to the WordPress Toolkit list.
The problem is not all customers are paying for regular bases maintenance so I don't want their website to be on my WordPress Toolkit list.
Now I can't unlink any of the sites in the list.6 votesStarting with WordPress Toolkit v5.9.2, permanent detachment is available. Once you detach a site from WordPress Toolkit, it stays detached forever. If you need to make a detached site visible to WordPress Toolkit again, remove the .wp-toolkit-ignore file from the site's home directory and run Scan.

Add Support for the Outlook Calendar HTML Format(e.g. add Signatures, Images in the Appointment Body)
When you have a Microsoft Account Email, you can add your Mail Signature, images, etc... to the Appointment, I'm guessing because it's HTML Format instead of Text only.
Could you implement having Appointments as HTML Format, and if so an Option for that to be synced with the Outlook Calendar.
Screenshot 1 is the Plesk Calendar, Second one is the Outlook one.
Although you can change the Plesk Calendar to HTML, it doesn't work, so i'm figuring it's not implemented yet1 voteIf you find that some existing functionality doesn't work, it's a bug, but not a feature request.
