Question Query on Hiding PHP-FPM Services from Service Management in Plesk

Hello Plesk Support Team,

We would like to check whether it is possible to hide the PHP-FPM services from the Service Management page in Plesk.

In our environment, we are not using PHP-FPM. We are using LiteSpeed with FastCGI only. The PHP-FPM handlers have already been disabled under the PHP settings, so they are not in use.

However, under Tools & Settings > Services Management, the PHP-FPM versions are still listed and shown as Not configured, as per the attached screenshot.

Could you please confirm whether these PHP-FPM service entries can be hidden or removed from the Service Management page when they are not being used?

Awaiting your reply.

Hi!

There is no "official" way of hiding the buttons in this menu, but there is one alternative - to hide them from CSS, effectively not displaying the elements on the screen. Please refer to this KB article - https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/14520982547095
You'll need to find the elements that you want to hide and then use the extension from the article to make the changes permanent (so Plesk updates will not erase them). I would advise using AI to identify the required HTML elements if you are not familiar with the topic.

The CSS selectors will be smth like:
.admin-services-list__title b:contains("PHP-FPM"),
tr:has(.admin-services-list__title b[text*="PHP-FPM"]) {
display: none !important;
}
