  • 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 XML-API <wp-instance> seems absent in Onyx?

Hi,
in Plesk Onyx the much needed Wordpress endpoint seems to be gone.
Reference

in Plesk 12.5 we had this
Managing WordPress Installations

Is there now a different way to access WP and the WP toolkit features via the API in Onyx?
I'm aware of the alternative method (the provisioning plugin), but it doesn't offer me the methods I need such as
<install-plugin> or <install-theme>, etc.

If anyone has a good strategy to install WP with a specific theme and plugins via an API call on Onyx I would be grateful
 
BTW - I've no idea why there is a LMGTFY badge on my account for this question.
I searched the forum and the only result is another user having the same issue and no solution. This feature seems removed with no replacement.

Question - XML API error
 
OK, so for anyone requiring a workaround to this issue: I used WP-CLI which is available to us via the wordpress toolkit, so there's no need to install it again.
As the manual explains WordPress Toolkit in Plesk

So to get a siteurl for example is:
plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli -instance-id [INT] -- option get siteurl
WP-CLI is very fully featured so that everything I needed to do is available via that interface
