ryanS-32	We have a development site staging.wordpress.whynotblue.com. We copied this WordPress website over to whynotblue.com, and I created a new site key for whynotblue.com and marked as a Production site. How can I change the site key on whynotblue.com, so that we can remove the "This site is registered on wpml.org as a development site." banner at the bottom?(screenshot attached)

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. It happens because the site is registered as development site. Please try the steps suggested in the following FAQ article after a site backup and let us know your feedback. https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-remove-the-this-site-is-registered-on-wpml-org-as-a-development-site-notice/ -- Thanks!

ryanS-32	Do I need to have 2 domains/site keys registered, one for development, and one for prod?

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. Have you moved the Development site to Production? If you are not deleting the dev site, you can keep the site keys for the dev site and live site. Please refer to the following documentation for more details. https://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/#register-development-sites -- Thanks! Bigul
