    Issue Server Error - 500 Plesk\Exception\Database

    The Process List extension in Plesk looks nice, but it’s not the most useful tool for getting detailed insights. I recommend installing btop via the command line instead. It provides a much more comprehensive view of your server's resources and performance. You can check it out here...

    Issue Server Error - 500 Plesk\Exception\Database

    This is a common issue with numerous potential solutions—there are, in fact, 199 results for "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused". This makes it difficult to provide specific guidance through the forum without access to your server. Therefore, I recommend contacting Plesk Support so...

    Question Why isn't xmlrpc.php monitored by the WordPress jail in Fail2Ban?

    I get where you're coming from, and you make a good point about the visibility of the protection and vulnerability statuses in the WordPress Toolkit. I’ve taken your suggestion and posted it on the Plesk forum as a feature request. I’m asking them to separate the links for the Vulnerability and...

    Input Enhancing visibility of protection status in WordPress Toolkit

    Recently, Plesk added a vulnerability status feature to the WordPress Toolkit, which is a great step forward. However, both the vulnerability status and the protection status are currently accessed through the same link, making it harder to quickly find the protection details. It would benefit...

    Issue plesk does Server down?

    WordPress is known to generate false positives with ModSecurity. If it happens again, click on "Error Log File" on the same page and search for ID's. They look like this: [id "210492"]. Add that number in the "Security rule IDs" field and ModSecurity will ignore it.
