The developer has provided a screencast showing the process that we are following, this is not a simple Migration as we are use a fresh new WordPress and theme install.... We need clean the old site as many features and old code we do not need in the new live site.....

I hope this helps.

okay I have noticed another issue which I have a workaround on as some tramslations were not connected to the original post see example and how I fix these.

hidden link

This is Friday and I have been working every day on editing the new website as I need to fix h1 tags ( nothing todo with WPML ) but one of reasons we moved to a fresh install of wordpress alongs speedetc.

SO far I have been able to solve other smaller issues the BIG issue is the fact that the status of pages that are already at tick status completed , wpml is now set these to refresh and will charge credits to get them back to complete status...

Can you give me some assurance that the solution will not be another attempt at at migration to new live site as all the work I have been doing and some of it is urgent will be lost?

I am hoping that some flag cab ne set in the database that sets these pages from refresh to compete status.

I am also happy to refresh all these pages manually to get them at complete status if you can at your end apply free credits.

BUT I need an answer so I can decide if I can continue to work on the live site and it IS Friday,,,,,,

So summary I or you can manually refresh pages ( with free credits ) to get to correct status you can check live site to confirm they are complete ( but I think we agree that is not an issue ) or your team can give some assurance my work will not be lost and the flag will be set to status complete and I can continue to updating the live site.

Look for a response on the important question for me and my team ... on a live site please it is nearly a week old ...

"Therefore, have you tried the same steps for migrating the Pages, Destination & other Custom posts? On the live site, the following Destination posts were not connected to their translations. Please confirm."

Developer Response

Yes, I've used the same method/way to migrate other post types like Destinations, testimonials, etc.

Please note that now you have migrated the posts (for example Suppliers), but in the Advanced Translation Editor, it will remain empty until the sites are connected. The import process links the posts, but the translations in the Advanced Translation Editor do not pull content from the Translation Memory because the site, posts, and translation jobs IDs are different on the live site."

Developer Response

Then what to do now! If we migrate posts as I described, a new ID for the row may be created due to the primary key auto-increment. How can I fix that?? Or you need to update on your site!

I Asked developer to explain why we are bot using a plugin

Developer Response

Ok, we didn't use the plugin because we wanted to transfer/migrate content to a new, fresh WordPress site, so that's why I've installed and set up everything manually, then installed the required plugin and theme. And then I've just exported the content, not the full database. It was not a task to move the site from one domain to another, that's why I didn't use a migration plugin like Updraft Plus, Duplicator, etc.
