• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Issue Customer-Facing Upsells

Mark Bailey

Basic Pleskian
I'm sick of customer-facing upsells. For example, one of our clients logged into his WordPress site after not doing it for a while (since a webmaster handled everything). He asked about the WordPress Toolkit > Vulnerabilities menu alerting him that he was unprotected. The links to "Get Protected" (or however it's worded) are direct sales links to WebPros.

Despite the growing price of Plesk, all too often I find things like this...reminiscent of the "Get a web developer" links that pointed to Codeable without any prior warning or prior ability to turn them off (until people complained).

Quit double-dipping and trying to get money directly from our clients. There are other control panels out there (besides your sister panel, the abominable cPanel). You're making those look VERY attractive.

Hello, @Mark Bailey . Thank you for the feedback. I cannot guarantee this approach is applicable to that particular pop-up, but generally, you can disable all promos in Plesk by adding the following in panel.ini:

Code:
[promos]
enabled = off
 
As a follow-up to my previous message, I just want to confirm that this particular dialog can be disabled via following config option:

Code:
[ext-wp-toolkit]
virtualPatchesLicensingForEndCustomers = false
