Background of the issue:
I am trying to switch my site, hidden link, from a development site to a production site on WPML.

Symptoms:
Developer mode is not disabled, and there is a banner indicating the site is registered as a development site.

Questions:
How do I switch from a development site to a production site on WPML?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Could you please delete the existing site key and create a new one by following below steps:

1. Please login to your WPML.org account >> Go to the Sites page: https://wpml.org/account/sites/
2. Delete the existing site key.
3. Please login to your site and go to the Dashboard >> Plugins >> Add new > Commercial tab and click the Unregister WPML from this site link if that link exists.
4. Then please click the Register WPML link.
5. Click the Get a key for this site link.
6. It will generate the Key for your site.
7. Copy the key, and paste it back into the input box, and press the Register button.
8. Clear all sorts of site/server/CDN cache

And see if this resolves your issue.

Here is a doc for more details:

If I remove the current production key and register a new one, could you please confirm whether all other existing settings will remain unchanged?

Yes, removing and re-registering the site key will not affect your existing WPML settings or translations, as all translations and settings are saved in your site’s database. It only updates the site registration status.

However, I recommend taking a full backup before making changes, just as a general safety measure.

Thank you
