Add warnings for unsupported operating systems in the Dashboard
Many Plesk users continue to run outdated operating systems, which often results in non-functional repositories, failed updates, or even security risks. While the current Dashboard displays "Server Information," including the OS version, it lacks any warnings about the support status of the operating system.
I propose adding the following to the Dashboard:
- Display an orange warning when the OS has 6 months or less of support remaining.
- Display a red warning when the OS is end-of-life and no longer receives updates.
These warnings should include links to support articles explaining the risks and offering steps to update or migrate the…

Bypass MFA when using session token to login
Currently, when session tokens are used for logging into Plesk and MFA is enabled, the MFA code is still required.
It would be useful to have an option to bypass MFA when using session tokens to log into Plesk.

Feature Suggestion for Plesk WordPress Toolkit: Notification Control per Subscription
I would like to propose an enhancement to the Plesk WordPress Toolkit to address an issue with email notifications sent to end users. Currently, the toolkit sends nightly email alerts regarding available updates for WordPress plugins, themes, and the WordPress version. However, there is no option for server administrators to disable these notifications on a per-subscription basis.
This lack of granularity means that administrators cannot tailor the notification settings according to individual user preferences, which may lead to annoyance for end users receiving notifications they do not wish to see.
I propose extending the WordPress Toolkit to allow end users…

Allow specifying of ports to open in firewall during certificate generation process to open and close again automatically
allow for specific ports to be opened when securing/ressecuring Let's Encrypt SSL certs.
For example, Lets Encrypt needs several ports open in order to reissue SSL so have a field to enter the ports to open when re issuing the SSL.

Laravel ToolKit: Creation of deployment script before first deployment. On the "Install Application" screen.
When I deploy a Laravel application to Plesk, I always use the Laravel ToolKit extension. I follow all the steps outlined in the documentation to install my application. However, at the end of the deployment process, I still need to go to the extension's Node tab and run the npm install and npm run build commands. It would be nice if there was an option to implement a deployment script on the "Install Application" screen, as this would reduce the amount of configuration that would need to be done in the Plesk panel.
There is a similar option in the…

remove/update the app options (wikis, CMS, bulletin boards, Squirrelmail etc)
These are so out of date as to be seriously vulnerable, with versions that mostly cannot be readily installed without installing PHP version 7.0 and (often) to add in the mysql module to PHP even if you are using that.
These options should be removed unless it can be upgraded to the latest versions of PHP and the mysql module added to PHP - at the very least something on the page BEFORE installation saying that this will require outdated and unsupported versions of PHP and any additional modules so people
a) know the dangers and also
b) so they…3 votesThank you for your input and consideration for keeping Plesk and its users safe. We are aware that the catalogue is currently outdated. The APS technology itself is outdated. Plesk is currently in the process of replacing the old catalog system with a new extension.

OpenSSH server support in Plesk for Windows
SFTP (FTP over SSH protocol) Support would come in handy for users who want a more secure way to transfer their files to and from their hosting account. We, as a hosting company, have received many requests for a more secure way to handle file transfers than the classic FTP(S) protocol on Windows Server.
Newer versions of Windows have built-in OpenSSH server functionality, I think it would be nice to integrate this in the Plesk end-user Panel in a way that users can use SFTP with their account username and (maybe?) configure SSH keys for their accounts for a more…

Letsencrypt wildcard certificate, check dns and continue automatically
When creating a wildcard certificate for a domain where we are hosting the DNS, letsencrypt creates the required DNS record automatically, but then shows a dialog telling us to check the dns before continuing.
Since plesk created the DNS record and the DNS points to our server, the plugin should be able to verify that the DNS is good and continue automatically.
If we are not hosting the DNS and we have to manually create the record before continuing, the tools can easily display a 'check dns' button that will do the dns lookup and confirm if good or not.

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…

Set HELO/EHLO name in MailEnable on Windows at Plesk installation
A default Plesk install on Windows incorrectly sets the MailEnable hostname to servername.home which is invalid and will cause blacklisting of the Plesk server.
It must be assigned manually:
https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-align-the-mail-servers-helo-ehlo-with-proper-dns-forward-and-reverse-values.368890/#post-924515
...which also may require creating a subscription on the server because the MailEnable settings requires the "sending notifications" email to be locally hosted.A proper hostname should be set at installation, or at minimum a notice shown to the Plesk admin that a manual setting change is necessary.
