Problem: The client needed to change the linked site from /development to /staging in their WPML account, but was unable to do so because the development site had been removed. Solution: 1. We recommended that the client go to their WPML.org account profile and remove the key generated for the old/deleted site. 2. Next, navigate to Plugins->Add new->Commercial tab in the WordPress dashboard. 3. Choose to Unregister WPML or Register WPML and click on "Get a key for this site". This action will automatically generate a new key code for the staging site. 4. After registering, go back to Plugins->Add new->Commercial tab and click on "check for updates" to ensure everything is functioning without errors.
