How to manage Plesk extensions (install, disable, remove, update)?
Answer
Plesk extensions are manageable by Plesk administrator only. Log in to Plesk as an 'admin' user and click Extensions in the left pane.

In the search bar on the right, start typing an extension name. When the extension appears in the list, click on it.
-
Click Get it free to begin the installation.
-
Switch to the My Extensions tab and click on the extension name.
-
Click More > Enable/Disable (depending on the current extension status).

Click More > Remove.
By default, Plesk extensions are updated automatically on a daily basis.

Switch to the Update tab and click Check Now to scan for recent updates.
-
If updates are found, select them with a checkbox and click Update.

hello, if i have a subscription based extension and disable it, will i be charged for its subscription? If yes, how i can stop this subscription?
thank you.
@Prodesignerch,
Yes, it will be charged in case auto-renewal of the subscription is enabled.
To disable the subscription please contact our Customer Success Team.
I´ve paid for Cloudflare Servershield Plus but I can´t see this extension.
How can to find it or install this extension manually?
Is there any schedule on updating the available versions of extensions? Imunify 360 5.5 is out since a few weeks, but the extensions browser only shows 5.2.2-1 which cannot be installed on Debian. Any plans on making 5.5 available soon?
@dumb ways to die,
Despite having a paid subscription to Cloudflare Servershield Plus, I am unable to use this add-on.
Where can I locate this add-on, and how do I set it up manually?
Hi Michael Probst
There is no such a schedule. The extensions are developed by different 3rd-party vendors, they all have their own independent plans for their extensions releases.
@ທ້າວ ວັດທະນາກອນ,
Due to not being updated for a long time, the extension currently isn't available for the installation.
For those, who have ServerShield by Cloudflare being already installed, it is still manageable from Plesk.
In case you have an account at Cloudflare you can use it with any website hosted on Plesk and connect it via DNS to the website as well as through various caching plugins (if using WordPress) that have support for Cloudflare.
