avoid Plesk panel update when a backup is running
Plesk updates the panel while a backup process is running. This can interrupt a backup, for example:
Error: Server "<hostname>"
Value at Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin\AdminAType\PreferencesAType -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\MigrationDump is expected to be an object of class Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\ScheduledTasks but is of type array
Error:
Unable to create the remote backup: Repository error: Failed to open the file '/usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-de-tmp-repo-NnwqUP/backuplickey002410212254.tzst': No such file or directorybut I have observed other similar issues before. On large servers, a full backup can run for many hours. If it fails, many hours of high cpu load are lost and the backup must be repeated the…

Enhancing the visibility of protection status in WordPress Toolkit
Recently, Plesk added a vulnerability status feature to the WordPress Toolkit, which is a great step forward. However, both the vulnerability status and the protection status are currently accessed through the same link, making it harder to find the protection details quickly.
It would benefit users, especially those less familiar with these features, if Plesk were to separate these into two distinct links. This way, the protection status would be more visible and easier to access, helping users stay informed about the security of their WordPress installations without extra steps.
For example, the current "Security: Fix vulnerabilities" entry in the…

Feature Suggestion for Easier Website Migration Process
Dear Plesk Support Team,
I appreciate your response to my recent query. I understand that server-specific issues need to be handled by the hosting provider, but I’d like to take this opportunity to suggest a feature enhancement for Plesk.
During my recent experience, I faced challenges while trying to migrate an old .aspx website from the main domain to a subdomain and shift a WordPress website from a subdomain to the main domain. This process was more complex than expected, and it would be helpful if Plesk could offer a more user-friendly or automated tool for such domain and subdomain…
2 votesThank you for your input, Syed. We are sorry to hear you faced difficulties during the migration process. As Plesk is control panel with primary focus on web hosting and server management, introducing a module that will convert a website from one framework/application to another falls out of scope as this is mainly code-related and typically handled by web developers. Still, we would like to hear your feedback on what aspects you found inconvenient and how you would like the overall process to be improved. If you can provide us with precise examples so we can get clear understanding it will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Add variables to 'Auto-reply message text'
Add variables to 'Auto-reply message text' same as <request_from>, for example for 'Auto-reply message subject'. Exampe of such variable:
<request_text> copying the body message to the autoreply message.2 votesWe can consider adding the feature. However, if you auto-respond to spam emails and quote the body of the email you will automatically send spam as well. In a way, such a feature can do more harm than good. With that said, could you please provide us with solid arguments on the pros of such a feature that surpass the cons? Thank you in advance.

Plesk Migrator should be able to migrate customers, Resellers and Service Plans that do not have any Subscriptions attached
Service Plans with no Subscriptions assigned as well as Resellers and Customers that do not have any Subscriptions assigned are not migrated via the Plesk Migrator to the new Plesk server by design, because they are considered obsolete and unnecessary.
Yet in many cases, such a transfer of data in necessary, due to which an option that allows this to happen should exist.

Great fight against spam: Make possible to add settings in '.cf' for spamassassin like adding an helping DNSBL and/or modifying scores
The possibility to add DNSBL's is not bad, but not good as without knowing several emails are blocked and in these blocked emails sometimes is a or several hams/emails as false positives. Much better would be being able to put in an '.cf'-configurations-file for spamassassin 'DNSBL's, which do not block but move emails identified as spam to the spam folder. Later on the customer can watch from time to time if hams/femails as alse positives have been sorted out wrongly and put them back to the inbox or a sucfolder which is not for spams.
A rule can even learn…

Change domain name during migration
Add an option to Plesk Migrator allowing to change names of subscription/domains/databases, etc. during migration. For example on source server subscription name is example.com and on target it should be example.net. It is better than manual rename of subscription and both websites can be live on different servers
