• 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.

Rename Database Prefix

If someone renames their domain and tries to create a new database, the prefix remains the same.

ex: Bob has domain foobar.com. He renames it to barfoo.com. He then creates a database, but it has the prefix foobar_.

Is there some way to change this without deleting and recreating the site, or is this a bug? Or is it just not doable with the Plesk schema (bar the recreation)?
 
Hi, there. Typically, domain name prefixes are tied to users rather than domain names. Could you please navigate to Tools & Settings > Database Hosting Preferences and confirm what's the option selected for Add a prefix and underscore to the beginning of database names/Add a prefix and underscore to the beginning of database user names? If that's set to "Username" - one way of changing the prefix is editing the Login user of the current subscription owner (Customers > example_user > Change Login Info).
