florianF-36	Hi, I'm working on a website with 3 languages with WPML Multilingual Blog. Now the urls are: test.domain.de, test.domain.nl, test.domain.com where "test" ist the subdomain for testing purposes, because the old website using the hidden link & nl & com. When the page is ready, is it enough if I change the urls from test.domain.de, test.domain.nl, test.domain.com to hidden link, hidden link, hidden link in WPML > Languages & in WP > Dasgboard > Settings > General OR do I have to make additional changes in the database? Thanks, F.

Make sure that you also create a full website backup before doing that. Do not hesitate to get back to us with a new ticket if you need help with a more specific situation. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

florianF-36	With "That is correct" you mean that I have to search for all "test.domain" urls in the database and change it to "www.domain"? Manually or can you recommend a method for doing that? A plugin? Thanks a lot. F.

Sorry for the delayed response but it is a pretty full queue at the moment so it can take a bit longer to get back to you. In order to change your current site URL, there's a good amount of high-quality tutorials online that you can use. I created this custom search URL for you so that you can find them easier: hidden link There are multiple ways to do that so I recommend that you take a look over the first results as those are the most popular websites.
