  • 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.

How to create a custom application template

New Pleskian
Greetings!

I love the Plesk Applications Installer however I wish to create my own WordPress template (with preinstalled plugins/themes) for my customers.

Is there an easy way to do this (or anyway to do this)?
 
Hi Ross,

Technically, you can create your own WordPress package with any preinstalled plugins/themes:

1. Read APS 1.x packaging standard documentation to learn how to package WordPress with plugins/themes as an APS 1.2 app: http://doc.apsstandard.org/2.1/legacy/
2. Upload the resulting WordPress package into Application Vault on every Plesk server.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 every time WordPress or plugins/themes are updated.

The process is complex and time-consuming, so I wouldn't suggest doing it, frankly.

We are considering adding the ability to create plugin/theme packages (or "Favorites") for WordPress Toolkit. Do you think it can this solve your problem, Ross?
 
That would be nice! I know of some providers who optimize WordPress specifically for their platform and I am trying to do the same with specific plugins that are preinstalled or easily installed.

Customers having the ability to read a support article or welcome email and one-click-install recommended plugins would be excellent, or even have per package sets that are auto installed.

KISS as always :D

It would be very cool to have a wordpress theme/plugin repository.
