TITLE:

WordPress installations not created properly from Applications​

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:

Plesk 17.0.17, CentOS 7, x64​

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

I am running into issues using the automated WordPress installation. It changes the admin username incorrectly, and it seems to affect automatic log in capability.

The below example is where the database user is changed to gibberish.

• OS: ‪CentOS Linux 7.3.1611 (Core)‬
• Product: Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update #20 , last updated at Mar 23, 2017 04:11 AM
  
• WordPress Toolkit
  Version: 2.0.0, Release: 300
  

I tried on another server and it worked properly:

• OS: ‪CentOS Linux 7.2.1511 (Core)‬
• Product: Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update #19 , last updated at Mar 19, 2017 04:37 PM
• Version: 1.4.0, Release: 180

Then I ran microupdates and also updated WordPress Toolkit:

• OS: ‪CentOS Linux 7.2.1511 (Core)‬
• Product: Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update #20 , last updated at Mar 23, 2017 07:08 AM
• WordPress Toolkit
  Version: 2.0.0, Release: 300

The correct database user is shown in the above example, but automated log in fails and the wp-login.php shows Invalid username. It should say something about the user being correct, but the password being wrong.

I only tested this on two servers so not sure if it is an actual bug, but it seems like something is up.​

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Go to Applications.
2. Install (Custom).
3. Enter username.
4. Enter simple or complex password, or generate a password.
5. Use custom or default database information.
6. The _options table shows a username with gibberish for example #1. Example: admin became 4fi0m6EXF7. Example #2 the correct name is shown, but it is not recognized as such.​

ACTUAL RESULT:

I am unable to use my Plesk-installed installation of WordPress.​

EXPECTED RESULT:

I should be able to log in as expected and use the features associated with it in the control panel.​

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:

Help with sorting out​

Also worth noting that I have tried it on multiple domains and subdomains specifying http:// or https://.

I just reverted my server to a default state, re-set up Plesk without making any other configurations aside from the initial setup, and tried an installation. WordPress user is still changed to gibberish. I guess I'll just go the manual installation route :/

Thank you. I have requested developer's assistance. Will keep this thread updated.

Bugreport EXTWPTOOLK-487 has been submitted.

Workaround: Change in wordpress databse table "*_users" field "user_login" to value which is shown in Toolkit on "Access credentials" page for instance (press "change password"). After that all features starts working.
