Hello, I am trying to install a WordPress plugin on current and future WordPress installations from my cPanel plugin. Is this possible with Wordpress Toolkit without having root access? If not, is there another way to accomplish this? Any guidance would be much appreciated, Thank you

  I heard back from the team and there is not a way to automatically install plugins at the time the WordPress installation is created. This is something they are looking into, but I don't have any details or timeframe on if or when that may happen.

  Thank you for the quick response! If that's the case, would it be possible to install a Wordpress plugin onto an existing WordPress site from a cPanel plugin? For instance, WordPress Toolkit has the ability to add a custom plugin: wp-toolkit --plugins -operation add
  . Could something like this be done through an API to add and install a plugin onto a Wordpress site? Thanks again for taking the time to review my questions.

  I was going to say, probably not through the API, but you could integrate that into a Bash script somehow as you've outlined. If you did that from a cPanel plugin I think that would work fine.
