Download Zip Copy + Database
Sadly sometimes you need to shutdown a website and every time after that you need to create a zip copy of the site + the database before you shut off the hosting. It would be great for a fast button to do this with and also solve those wanting to keep their own copy just in case.

put time stamps back into the mwp backups
In the backups for managed wordpress before managewp we had the time stamps from when the backups were taken. Devs and more advanced users used this to pick exactly what backup best suits them without it were leaving them to a risk of Wasting time restoring files.

thank you for the suggestion.

"Updates" feature in new Managed WP
Because the new Managed WP dashboard has lots of nifty widgets associated with the PRODUCTION site, I'm guessing that using the "Updates" feature that appears front and center will only update the PRODUCTION version, not the STAGING version. Not cool. Counter-intuitive.
Makes zero sense to launch users into PRODUCTION. Either give the option, or if you're going to assume, assume that STAGING is the one that most users will want to hit right away.
I asked in another comment, and doing so again in the hopes one of these messages will be read soon... Please remove me from this Beta…
3 votesHello,
Thank you for reaching out. This is a good suggestion and we will see if we can get this updated to be more intuitive for the user.

Multiple FTP uses in Managed Wordpress
It would be easier (less steps) if you were able to have multiple (at least one extra) ftp users or a temporary one that goes away after a set time.
I have to give web kid FTP access to do some stuff (php.ini) but then I have to call you guys to change password again as I am not secure knowing he securely keeps his info safe. Get me? ... :)
Cheers

Maintain site labels on sub-pages
When you're on some of the sub pages, the site name is gone from the pages. It makes you second-guess whether you're on the right page. Example screen grab: https://cl.ly/2n2Y1H0G0n1j
Am I sure I'm on the right page now that I'm about to start a new staging environment?
Pervasive site names in the breadcrumb or heading would really help.
2 votesHello,
This is a great suggestion. I will review with the dev team and see what we can do.

Toooooo slow loading dashboard
Dashboard is way to slow loading - several minutes. Can this be improved? I love the interface, just not the initial load. Thanks!
2 votesHello Susan,
Thank you for reaching out. Are you able to chat with me for a few minutes to let me know which areas are slow to load? This certainly isn’t the preferred experience, and we would like to make sure you are not experiencing slowness.
Thanks!

Add Lets Encrypt Support
GoDaddy has instructions for the "shared" cPanel servers and using Let's Encrypt.
While I wouldn't recommend this feature for a site needing PCI compliance.... for SEO purposes having an SSL cert is beneficial and since Let's Encrypt is free it is cost effective for just SEO purposes

Thanks for the suggestion. This is a great idea, and I will reach out to the Managed Wordpress team to see what we can do.

Change the WPADMIN button
When I logon to my Managed WP console, I immediately see all my
sites. Each has a large, enticing green WPAdmin button that launches the WP dashboard for editing... the PRODUCTION site.Even if I enter the specific control panel for a particular site, I am again greeted with a very visible WPAdmin button. Again, clicking it launches the WP dashboard for the PRODUCTION site.
Same thing with the three little navigation dots in the upper right.
The only way to launch STAGING is by clicking the non-obvious link at the top then using that pop-up's WPAdmin button.
If a…

But how do I export a db backup
This interface does not make it possible to export a database backup. It only makes it possible to restore from old backups. I need to download a dump of the database, but can't do it here.

Fix the NOINDEX website feature
The staging environment is automatically set to noindex in WordPress managed hosting which makes sense. However, you carry over that setting when you push staging to production which is simply stupid. Now, each time we push from staging to production we have to immediately log into the production website and fix the setting. This did not happen with the previous dashboard. Please reverse this default behavior.
1 voteHello Rick,
Thanks for letting us know. I will have the team investigate ASAP and get back to you.

Have an undo option when building websites
Mistakingly deleted something on website builder, couldn't recover the information. Very frustration.
1 voteThank you for reaching out, John. If you are using Managed WordPress, there is an option to roll back to a specific version of your backup. This can help you if you want to undo a larger amount of work.
For the “undo” option, I can chat with the team, but am not sure we will be able to implement this directly into WordPress, as we don’t own the underlying WordPress system.
But it is a great idea, and I will see what the team thinks!
Thanks!
