Hi there,

Before this ticket gets assigned to one of my colleagues, I'd like to offer my help.

Could you please provide more details? Are you trying to register WPML, or are you looking to share automatic translation credits across multiple WPML sites (https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-subscription-for-multiple-sites/)?

If you're trying to register WPML, you can generate a new WPML key from this link: (https://wpml.org/account/sites). After that, go to your site's backend, navigate to Plugins > Add New > Commercial, click on "Register WPML," and enter the key you just generated.

If I misunderstood your request, please clarify what you need and include any screenshots or a screen recording. This will help us understand how to assist you better.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Mihai

Hi there.

For a new/separate WordPress setup and different domain, you will always need to go here (https://wpml.org/account/sites) and generate a new site key for that new domain. While in the process of creating the key, you can also set the key as "Production" or "Development."

For migrating your site, I usually recommend using a plugin like "Duplicator":
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Documentation can be found here:
hidden link

Here is a small tutorial on how to use Duplicator:
hidden link

This plugin should also 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.

You might want to take a look at this page, too, as it contains essential information that you might need when WPML sees that the current site has been copied over a different domain. You must set that new site to "this is a copy of the main site."

Please let me know how things go.
