  • 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.

Stop Plesk from checking for updates for non-existant / moved wordpress installs

iwbyte

New Pleskian
I have a number of sites where I set up wordpress using the application install feature in Plesk 11/12, but then moved them to a new directory. For example, the site was set up in /new/ as we got it going, then moved it to the root directory when we were ready.

The problem is that for some reason Plesk still thinks there's an install in /new/ and keeps sending me emails to update the wordpress software.

I know I can disable the notifications, but I WANT the notifications for other sites on this server - just not the non-existant/moved installations.

I don't want to 'remove' wordpress from these installs because then it may (will?) delete the database, which in Wordpress circles is usually seen as a Bad Thing (tm).

Is there a command-line..uhm, command to tell plesk to stop checking the /new/ directory (which is empty or doesn't exist?). Or do I need to put a fake wordpress install in there, leave it in overnight so plesk sees its up to date and then delete it and it will leave me alone?

Thanks for any suggestions
