I am setting up this divi website in 2 languages. I have a domain for the original one (alimentodesperto.pt) and for the second language I have this one (alimentodesperto.com)
On my server we created an alias so both connected to same WordPress.
I add that information on MPML, I started doing the translation, is working fine with all pages but when it comes to the home page the translation don't appear and when I click on the menu it dos not loud the second language.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I'll need to take a closer look at your configuration, so for that, I'll need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) 💻
Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I have access. Also after a few weeks access is removed from this thread.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
You can use this plugin to do this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
It's done in just a few minutes. If Duplicator is not working please use another one, this was just a suggestion.
☑️ Permissions:
✙ I would need your permission to disable and re-enable plugins and theme and to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason why the backup is critical.
✙ I would also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the problem without affecting your live site. So you can drop the two files you will see with the duplicator plugin, in the field provided.
Thanks. I will be now performing some tests. It is better that you are not working on your site in the meantime.
Disclaimer: Note that during those tests your site and style might look different, and some features might not work. It is part of the debug procedure.
We encourage you to make a backup, as said before. 🙂
thanks for your patience, indeed the language switcher is not working, and even from your backend when I switch to see the English page, it goes directly to the pages in Portuguese so we cannot know what they look like.
I think it might be from the configuration of the domain that you have made, when you choose a "different language per domain" we have to make sure that the configuration is set correctly.
You domain you want to use should be pointed to the same host and same root directory where your WordPress files are located. All domains should show the same website (not URL) when WPML is disabled.
In order to confirm domains are set up correctly, please follow the next steps:
- create a dummy test.txt file with some sentence
- Upload it to your root of the website
- Set WPML to show language as per-directory or disable the WPML plugin
- Now visit each of your domains and check if you can see the test.txt file
if everything is set up correctly you should be able to access and see the mentioned file, if not then your domains are not set up correctly and you should check with your hosting for any misconfiguration.
Once this works correctly, WPML should also work correctly with Domains per language configuration.

I think because the .com is the root file and that must have been an issue with the root configuration, but anything that as root + / a page its working fine.
Please try the following steps to verify the domain have the correct & same DNS settings.
I'm talking about this domain: hidden link
1) Create a text file(for example WPMLTest.txt)
2) Upload it to the root directory of hidden link
3) Then make sure you can access the file from the .com domain
hidden link
if everything is set up correctly you should be able to access and see the mentioned file, if not then your domains are not set up correctly and you should check with your hosting for any misconfiguration.
Once this works correctly, WPML should also work correctly with Domains per language configuration.
