Tsuyoshi	I am trying to set 2 different language's sub domain sites on current live site. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link or hidden link I expected to see: Chinese and Korean pages Instead, I got: all original Japanese site. Also I'm having not valid error when I set up Language URL format as "A different domain per language"

Riffaz Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Colombo (GMT+05:30)	Hi, The reason that WPML indicates that your configuration is incorrect is that the domain hidden link is acting as a forward to other domain or similar. It needs to point to the same IP/server/root as hidden link When using Language per Domain all domain/sub-domains need to point to the same place so that WPML can correctly identify and server the correct pages depending on what language is configured. In your case, it is just a matter of pointing hidden link (configuring the CNAME) to the same IP/server/root as hidden link Please follow the steps carefully: https://wpml.org/2016/04/use-wpml-different-domains-per-language/ This is something related to your domain/hosting providing. If you are not sure about his just ask your hosting support. They can fix this in minutes. Let me know how it goes and if everything works as expected. Regards, Riffaz.

Tsuyoshi	No! hidden link and hidden link show only original Japanese language not Chinese or Korean. OK. I created English top page for your understanding. 100% of text in top page has been translated. Default is Japanese hidden link. English is hidden link. But you cannot see any English in there.

Raja Mohammed Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Thanks, I can confirm the login details are working fine. I have checked your site by adding the language switcher to the footer from WPML > Lanagues > Footer language switcher. The translation seems to work fine without any issue. It is important to navigate the site through Language switcher to confirm the working of Domains per language. Only Language switcher can pass the session data from one language to another. Please also check the DNS setting for the domains, make sure the subdomains are mapped to the main domain, Please share the DNS details as well. let me check if there is an issue with it Kind regards Raja

Raja Mohammed Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	I am still not able to access the site dashboard. The CSS is generated by the fusion builder try to resave the CSS check if that helps. The en domain name is repeated twice check the site URL and home URL has a proper format in Settings > General.

Tsuyoshi	Ok. I modified theme function to call dynamic css directory. So css works now. Then I tried to fix the image problem by myself. But I gave up. I need your help. The images don't show even in media library at seceond languages. Image tag became like this. <img src="ch-staging.kualoa.jp/images//news1_0379720170615061356-200x150.jpg" draggable="false" alt=""> It seems WPML added extra "ch-staging.kualoa.jp". You can access the site with FTP's ID and Pass for Basic Auth. But you may need to repeat to input 4 times. Becasue we have 4 deferrent domains to control. Screenshot_MediaLibrary.fw.png
