  2. Enable removing events from 2way sync

    In 2 way sync we have the list of pending and completed syncs. It would be nice and helpful to be able to remove/delete positions as well and maybe also the option to clear the whole list just so mistakes are not made and everything can be tidied up.

  3. Automated Daily/Weekly Version (backups)

    Provide an option to take automated daily or weekly backups for InstaWP sites, this will help users recover sites if something goes wrong. Also an option to limit the automated backups to last X times.

  5. 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. Staging - Provide an option to select the primary admin user for Magic Login

    At the moment, the first admin user account seems to be used for Magic login after for staging sites. There should ideally be a dropdown to select which admin user account is to be used.

  7. Add a custom subdomain of white label domain for template selection in WaaS

    At present the template selection page isn't white labelled but is being considered. You can integrate the page using an iFrame. One thing I would be grateful for consideration is the following: Using the root domain for WaaS means that subdomains are no longer accessible by the client. As the nameservers are under the control of InstaWP via AWS would it be possible to add a custom subdomain like 'my.example.com' or 'clients.example.com' using the WaaS domain for the template selection page?

  11. 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

  12. Ability to set global WordPress admin email address + making changing the WP admin email address easier

    Ability to set a standard/global WordPress admin email address for WordPress installs I have a specific dev email address for staging/maintenance/website development. InstaWP uses the email address linked to my InstaWP account as the standard WP admin email address which is not preferred. Ability to change the WordPress admin email address Now we aren't able to receive the conformation email when changing the WP admin email address (a workaround is using a plugin but it would be nice if we can change the WP admins email without adding plugins).

  13. Sortable and/or clickable sort for columns in new staging site dashboard

    It would be helpful to be able to either click on the column header or have a drop down or sort methods in the new dashboard of staging sites. The search is great, but sometimes it would be nice to order our sites alphabetically or by date, tag, etc.

  14. Option to add site description

    Problem: I have 5 sites with a random name that were created a week ago. Now I don't remember why each one was created. Solutoin: A description field below the URL. I could explain the purpose of a site like "Testing Woo shipping options" or "Testing theme update".
