  3. Suspend an InstaWP site

    Sometimes when we move a client from InstaWP to our production service we aren't quite ready to nuke everything on InstaWP. I'd like to be able to suspend the site (or redirect it from the dashboard) without deleting it while we wait for it to expire.

  6. Custom redirect for expired sites

    I would love have the ability to set a custom 301 redirect target for expired sites (also for expired magic-login-links).

  7. Website should have a settings to disable all Plugins.

    It would be great if the website owner could disable all installed plugins. If any unexpected errors occur, this setting will assist users in recovering the website.

  10. Have SSH/FTP enabled by default

    I happen to manually go into a lot of instances and enable FTP/SSH to be able to access them. In my case, when using Deployments: https://docs.instawp.com/docs/deployments/add-deployment I’d love that if a deployment is generated from a PR, have SSH enabled on it by default, and in the automated message have a command that I can quickly copy to connect to the new instance via SSH, e.g: ssh hiniyonile5453@m-enforcer-wuka.instawp.xyz

  11. Be able to set site expiry when creating a new site

    When creating a new site (whether from scratch, or via a template) could we please be able to set the site expiration? By default this is 15 days (I think). When creating sites for testing I only want them to be around for a couple of hours. I know I could add some extra code to manually delete them but it would be som convenient to just have them auto-expire after a couple of hours. Fingers crossed this isn't too hard to add support for. :-)

  12. Enable Team switching in mobile view

    When using the Dashboard in mobile/responsive mode, you can't switch Teams, since the team switcher only works on-hover and it's not mobile/tap friendly.

  13. [Configurations] Allow to configure wp-config.php further (to make it less random)

    I'm attempting to have the same environment in InstaWP and in my local development environment, as much as possible, so that the same integration tests work seamlessly in both of them. When creating a new configuration in InstaWP, some items are not random anymore. In particular, I can select a "static" WordPress username (so I can set it always as "admin"). That is excellent! I'd like to propose to do the same for a few other items: table prefix: then I can set it as "wp_" SALT keys: I can copy/paste the same ones About the SALT keys, to make the UI simple, instead of having many inputs (one input per SALT constant), we could just copy/paste the corresponding PHP code into a single textarea input: define( 'AUTH_KEY', 'P-wq#|>Yr_wU|Y,-uSNm [r|dr]:[;ncPC7H9ij.n?>UPwW]D#_T7ZH`w9;?gh$' ); define( 'SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'U63Q+.PzZQjOX+3Y}ygMJQ4A-i0?+(-1%yN3p*?c|,;Cv;9T&;<2(@sCM44' ); define( 'LOGGED_IN_KEY', '0xF=){U!P|yI9:B{o6>2B [{-uz<nET?aYZ3:$:<EFE(%BitVEj:Xwh5,*C,A3' ); define( 'NONCE_KEY', 'H{gQ, ;FZOoqMi0x+=r_$G0SN&g0tls6aPGVq>v]f>{#bi]+:7j_Z(>ie7P.6Gw' ); define( 'AUTH_SALT', 'fLaowQ@oZdsdL6D71zHD3b[(%JG(.eX=e#X;>Ng1+R#kqwIvIU7A.a0%2>GT#B' ); define( 'SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'Yy#ibLj/*m^,6J,G@$Hz&gt;|J7x8@#6P$9>:jntItyMl(63@MHE4E8^aZWz9^dok' ); define( 'LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'W,ec}p&gt;Bi1dIi!HM&lt;;OqbW3gkA{#r<mx4KXKquRvJ$ Ra-JjfgG[&qe?wRGicL' ); define( 'NONCE_SALT', 'ecwxmWJi:q&%AjT8=pkN[4=S&lt;,.oXPWoJVX+m_DkmBluE3|9wecEH2s^Xp]F|' ); Thanks

  14. InstaWP Connect + HelpScout

    Figure out a way to make these two "talk" to each other. It could unlock 1-click staging website creation for (almost) anyone supporting their plugin business through HelpScout. I'd imagine a way to have a "request demo creation" on the right-hand side inside HelpScout's desktop UI, which forwards the request to InstaWP connect. The user receives a notification, approves it, and then the staging site is created. It would dramatically reduce the number of back-and-forth emails between support reps and clients. I also think this would be better served as a dedicated HelpScout app that integrates w/ existing WordPress HelpScout plugins.

  15. Notify when there is a fatal error (template sites)

    For sites like those where customers have fatal errors, it'd be nice to get a notification or something so we can help them get back up and running.
