  • 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.

Resolved WordPress management in Plesk console after backup and restore

Stephan Griesel

Basic Pleskian
Hi guys!

Hope someone can help me with this. I backed up and restored few WordPress sites from other servers onto my new server running Plesk. What I found is if I don't install WordPress from the console and just do manual backup and restore then I don't have the functionality where I can control my WordPress installation from the Plesk console. Is there something in place that I can still have this functionality? Small hack maybe?
 
I noticed this. I ended up creating the wp sites in in plesk then restoring over the top.
I dont really 'rely' on the plesk administrative capabilities for wp so it was just a minor pain for me.

Do you have many sites to restore ?
 
... then I don't have the functionality where I can control my WordPress installation from the Plesk console. Is there something in place that I can still have this functionality?

Click "Scan" in the Wordpress Toolkit and Plesk will seek all Wordpress installations on your server. It will include manual installations in the WP Toolkit management list so that you can manage it from there.
