Change on webmail subdomain log in screen to Plesk's log in screen so the user can manage their account directly
I was considering that to increase the security of the email accounts and so that the user has direct administration over them, if it were possible that instead of the subdomain "webmail.whatevedomain.com" being directed to a webmail login screen directly, to change it to the plesk's log in screen, since when you enable the option in email accounts of "can be used to log in to plesk", the user enters to a management screen for the email account itself, this is by using the email address as the user and their same password.
This way, the user could change their password directly and do other functions that can be allowed by granting permissions from the "account" option in the Plesk administrator user, in addition to directly accessing the webmail that also would need a change so the user does not go through again on entering username and password.I was considering that to increase the security of the email accounts and so that the user has direct administration over them, if it were possible that instead of the subdomain "webmail.whatevedomain.com" being directed to a webmail login screen directly, to change it to the plesk's log in screen, since when you enable the option in email accounts of "can be used to log in to plesk", the user enters to a management screen for the email account itself, this is by using the email address as the user and their same password.…
2 votesThank you for your idea. Unfortunately, the webmail apps are completely independent mail client apps. They are not programmed by the Plesk team, but by independent vendors. The functions that Plesk can control are mail server based functions and user management based functions, e.g. changing the user name (mailbox name) and password. Webmail apps that do the same to it through specific port based method. They behave like all other mail clients. Bringing both worlds into one will mean that Plesk develops and maintains their own webmail software in competition to existing solutions like SoGo, Roundcube, Horde. This would require significant resources not only for development, but also for continuous maintenance - and all that besides maintaining the integration of the other clients. There are no plans to do that at this time or in the near future.
Nevertheless we can leave this feature idea online for some while so that other users can vote for it if they believe it is an important feature. If a very large number of users votes for it, it can still be considered as a future feature in Plesk.

Reset DNS record to default value from DNS template
The ability to reset a specific record to the default value from the DNS template. We are currently only able to reset the whole domain.
I'm also missing a column in the dns records overview, displaying which records are default and which are customized. We have to guess at this point which ones are altered.

panel.ini setting to select 127.0.0.1 or localhost for WPT WordPress installations
When using CloudLinux's alt-php versions and when using Plesk's php version management facility instead of CloudLinux PHP Selector, the default path to mysql.sock is not set, or in some cases incorrectly set to /tmp/mysql.sock.
Any php script, including WordPress, that is set to use "localhost" to connect to the database will then fail to connect. This can cause severe problems with the WordPress Toolkit.
If, instead of localhost, the host address is set to 127.0.0.1, php uses a network connection instead of trying to connect to mysql.sock, and all is well. Naturally this assumes that mysql/mariadb listens on 127.0.0.1 but that is usually the case for CloudLinux/RHEL-downstream distributions as far as I'm aware.
The alternative is to tell php where mysql.sock is located by adding mysql.defaultsocket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, mysqli.defaultsocket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and pdomysql.defaultsocket = /var/lib/mysql.sock either on a per-domain basis or in the main php.ini fo9r all domains (per version of php).
I suggest adding a panel.ini setting for wpt that would allow the administrator to set their preference of localhost or 127.0.0.1 for WordPress installations.
As an extension to this, I also suggest that in panel.ini under [php] it could be made possible to specify the default path to mysql.sock for the various libraries, just as it is currently possible to specify disable_functions settings.

Synchronize Plesk Service Plans IDs across servers
I want to be able to create a Plesk account when a person ONLY purchases a domain name from WHMCS (no hosting)
I want this so the customer has DNS access. I know I can provide DNS access through WHMCS but then if the customer purchases hosting I have to copy all their DNS records to the Plesk DNS and it just becomes confusing.
Right now WHMCS will only create a Plesk account if the person has ordered hosting but not if they only purchase a domain name.
So I'm having WHMCS Global Services write an Add-On for WHMCS so if the customer purchases a domain name ONLY it will trigger account creation in Plesk. They do this using the Plesk API and Plesk product ID.
My concern is when I have multiple hosting servers that Plesk product ID might change and create a problem with the add-on module.
Also, right now Plesk does not have the ability to create a Service Plan that is "Domain only" hosting type so I have to create a 'web hosting' type just to give the customer DNS access.

Enable 'Take over wp-cron.php' for all existing instances in WordPress
Please consider adding the functionality to enable 'Take over wp-cron.php' not only for newly create instances (WordPress > Settings > Disable wp-cron.php on all new WordPress installations) but for all existing WP instances at the same time. At the moment the wp-cron.php take over can only be done for one instance at the time. It would really improve the customer expirience if such functionality can be enabled for all existing instances at the same time.

Ability to set expiration date in a subscription without locking it
Provide the ability to set an expirations date without locking a subscription. When changing the expiration date of a subscrition it becomes locked for sync. It shouldn't become locked as subscritions have expiration dates that need to be prolonged when the customer pays for his next term.
