Problem:
The client needs to clone a staging website to a live website and is using WordPress with the Divi theme. They have different WPML keys for the staging and live URLs.
Solution:

After migrating, you should register WPML on your new site with a new key. To do this:
1. Log in to your WPML account.
2. Go to the "Sites" page: https://wpml.org/account/sites/
3. Remove your old site/domain.
4. Add your new site to receive a new key.
5. Enter the new key on your site under Plugins > Add new > Commercial.

Hi there, Fiqi!

For migrating your site, my recommendation is to use the following plugin:
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Documentation can be found here: hidden link

Here is a small tutorial on how to use Duplicator:

This plugin should easily take care of the URL-replacing process.

After migration, register WPML in your new site and enter the new key:
Please Login to your WPML account >> go to the "Sites" page (https://wpml.org/account/sites/) >> Remove your old site / domain from there >> and add your new site >> it will give you a new key which you can add back in your site in Plugins > Add new > Commercial.

I hope that you will find this information helpful 🙂

Kind regards,
Mihai Apetrei
