davyA	2. I encounter an error message when attempting to add my second domain for Spanish translation (cbdmivida.com). Both domains are hosted and pointed to the same hosting.

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi Davy, Here is the second ticket. Can you please share a screenshot of the error message? For now, I see the domain "cbdmivida.com" doesn't display the same content as the domain "cbdmylife.com". Before using the feature "A different domain per language" in WPML > Languages > Language URL Format, please ensure both domains point to the same site and display the same content without redirection. Refer documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/#testing-if-the-domains-are-set-properly Look forward to your reply. Thanks

davyA	I've attached the screenshot of the error message I'm receiving: "Not valid". Both domains are pointing to the same site; cbdmivida.com is added as a parked domain to cbdmylife.com.

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, Now I see the domain "cbdmivida.com" is redirected to "cbdmylife.com". As I mentioned above, before using the feature "A different domain per language" in WPML > Languages > Language URL Format, please ensure both domains point to the same site and display the same content without redirection. That means when you deactivate WPML, visit "cbdmivida.com", you will see the same content as when you visit "cbdmylife.com", no redirection. Then you can enable WPML and activate the option "A different domain per language". You can also uncheck "Validate on save" and see the result in the frontend, sometimes the validation doesn't work correctly. Look forward to your reply. Thanks

davyA	I understand. How can I configure two domains to display the same website content without redirection? Is creating a multisite the recommended approach? I'm a bit confused, and the WPML documentation isn't providing enough guidance on how to proceed.

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, You should setup the DNS for the second domain to point to the same site/hosting IP. Just like you do for the first domain. Simply, imagine that we can access your site with two (or more) domains before using WPML: hidden link hidden link hidden link You can read more here hidden link or contact your hosting/domain provider support and ask for help with setting up second domain. Is creating a multisite the recommended approach? No need to use a multisite, just a single site. Look forward to your reply. Thanks
