tfR	Background of the issue: I am trying to set up WPML on a staging site with separate domains for different languages. My main site is hidden link, and I have set up a staging site at hidden link where WPML is installed. I also have a parked domain hidden link that currently redirects to hidden link. SSL with Wildcard is active. Symptoms: When I go to WPML > Setup and try to add German as a language with hidden link as a different domain per language, I receive the error message 'The domain you entered is invalid'. Questions: Why does WPML say 'The domain you entered is invalid' when I try to set up a different domain per language? How should I correctly enter the domain for the German language in WPML setup? I tried adding hidden link, mysite.de, www,mysite.de and hidden link none work

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thanks for contacting us. While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly. Make to uncheck the "Validate on save" option when saving the domain and re-save, it should then save fine. Regards, Drazen
