Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi Are, Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue. Before using the feature "Different domains per language" of WPML, the two domains should display the same site without redirection. Please follow steps below and see if it helps. 1. Go to WPML > Languages > Language URL Format > Change it to "Different languages in directories" (temporary). 2. Configure DNS of your domains without redirection. Two domains must be pointed to the same site (same IP address). You can test it works by typing hidden link and hidden link into the browser if they display the same content and no redirection, please go to step 3. 3. Go to WPML > Languages > Language URL Format > Change it to "Different domains per language". Refer to the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/ Look forward to your reply. Thanks

areL	The sites do not have the same content. Are the domains supposed to have a clone of the site, or how do I do this process without redirection?

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, >> Are the domains supposed to have a clone of the site? No. There is only one site. >> how do I do this process without redirection? That means two domains point to the same IP address to display the same site, before using WPML feature. Just think you can access your site with two domains, no redirection here. You can try to remove the step above: Page Rules housealgarve.com/ Forwarding URL (Status Code: 301 - Permanent Redirect, Url: hidden link) and see if it helps. If not, please contact your domain/hosting support to ask for help with this issue. Then setup the WPML feature "Different domains per language". Look forward to your reply. Thanks
