Improve WordPress install and clone process
I propose streamlining the WordPress Add Application process by modifying the Add Application screen to add fields for WordPress User, and WordPress User Password. This would allow us to input whatever user and password we would want, as opposed to having to accept the default user and password that Cloudways currently generates.
This would make it much easier to deal with new sites, as a new user must now be created in WordPress after the site is created. In addition, if the current WordPress user is deleted directly in WordPress, the Admin Panel section of Cloudways still shows the old (originally created) user and password, even though it has been deleted in the WordPress application.
These same changes should be added in the Clone App process, so that a new WP user and PW can be generated before the site is cloned. The cloning process would have to look at the current WordPress user and password, then create a new WordPress user and password to replace the one from the site being cloned (the original WP user would then be deleted as part of the cloning process).
Let's face it... WordPress is very popular, and by adding this type of functionality to Cloudways, it would make Cloudways much more useful, and desirable.
Thanks.

I just sent an email to Cloudways about the exact same thing. I love many things about Cloudways, but that keeps me annoyed every time I migrate and suddenly mess around with the user credentials.
