lukeT-2	Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to manage translations on both development versions of the same site, the one running on my local machine and on my staging server. When WPML detected my staging address and asked about keeping it as a copy or move the site to the new address, I accidentally set it to "move the site to the new address". I've tried to revert this but could not. I tried unregistering WPML from both my local and staging environments, then deleting the license key and registering again, but I can't find a way to set one site as the main and the other as the copy so I can translate on both. Is there any documentation that you are following? Yes, this one: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/using-advanced-translation-editor-when-you-move-or-use-a-copy-of-your-site/ What is the link to your site? They are not accessible as they are in development.

I'll help you get started while a supporter takes the ticket. Please make sure you're using WPML 4.6.8, where this problem is solved. you'll still get the banner but you'll have an option to separate them and translate them into a "copy" of the original one. Try it out and let us know how it goes
