Question How to remove Plesk products from our clients panels?

[Dave W]

Server operating system version

All

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.47.

How can I remove Plesk sales objects from a default install of the panel?

For example:-

Plesk trying to sell its monitoring360 service to our clients.
Plesk selling SSL certificates to our clients.
Plesk selling SEO to our clients
Plesk selling Antivirus to our clients?

Or do I have to create a custom install script?

Can this all be done from a custom panel.ini?

Any others I should remove?

 

[Peter Debik]

There are some panel.ini settings, e.g.

[facebook]
showLikeLink=off

[rating]
enabled=off

[promos]
enabled=off

[aps]
serverAppsPromoEnabled = off

pleskFooter = false

Maybe this page can also help:

Hiding Plesk Promos

You can either hide promos at all or hide some specific promos, namely: Promos on the Server Administration Panel &g...

Hi Peter,

And for the others a custom install or remove the default extensions?

Not that I know of any option. It'll need to be set after installation.

You can use the blacklist option in the Panel.ini editor:

[extensions]
blacklist = sectigo

Hi Dave,

Do you have examples of these sales objects? I've never seen them on our servers.

Same panel.ini on both servers;

cat  panel.ini |grep -v ^\;

Under Websites & Domains >> SSL/TLS Certificate in client panel I get this on one server;


How do I block this?

Also since we are paying a license for Plesk then shouldn't advertising of third party products be disabled by default?

So it comes with a Sectigo SSL extension installed now?

Can we not have third party extensions installed automatically with the control panel please, we pay enough for it.

How do I block this?

It's been a while since I've tried to solve this myself. I went with the settings listed below to (+ uninstalling Sectigo SSL extension). Annoyingly there seems to be no value for hiddenTLDsPaidProducts that hides the buying option for all TLD's.

[ext-sslit]
showGetMoreCertificatesLink = false
hiddenTLDsPaidProducts = nl,be,de,fr,co.uk,es,pr,it,pl,dk,se,eu,com,net,org,info,xyz,io

Another thing that frustrates me is that there seems be no coherent way of hiding the buying option. I've got some older servers on which the buying option just never shows (like it should). I never done anything (that I can remember at least) to hide/remove the buying option of SSL certificates on these older servers. But on newer server you'll need the hiddenTLDsPaidProducts and showGetMoreCertificatesLink.
