  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Basic Pleskian
Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to do following:

We love the way Plesk handles WordPress.
However, I also want to have some extra plugins available when installing WP (mainly some security related plugin and a default .htaccess modification for XML-RPC issues.
This will save me a lot of time.

Is there anybody out there who can tell:
1. How can I have Plesk by default install an extra wp-plugin besiedes the current default ones ?
2. How can I have Plesk use my modified .htaccess ?
 
Hi @roadrash!

Could you please clarify several points:
1. How can I have Plesk by default install an extra wp-plugin besiedes the current default ones ?
Do you want to have some wp-plugins installed by default when user installs a new WordPress instance?

2. How can I have Plesk use my modified .htaccess ?
Do you want to put some .htaccess by default when user installs a new WordPress instance? Or you just have .htaccess file and you want to use it on some already installed WordPress instance?
 
Hi vlikhtanskly, thanks for your response.

1. Yes, I want to have some wp-plugins installed by default when user installs a new WordPress instance.

2. Yes, a default .htaccess would be nice.
 
Hi roadrash,

To clarify #1: would you like to install plugins from WordPress.org repository (stuff that's available to everyone), or you want to pre-install some custom plugins not available in WordPress.org repository?
 
Hello custer,

Primarily we only use plugins from the WP repo. However, we also buy many from e.g. ThemeForest or other sellers. So it must be possible to pre-install custom plugins.
