I need to make a local website a production. (http://127.0.0.1) for static generation purposes.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You need to make a local website a production instance for static generation purposes, but the development banner did not disappear after the transition.
Solution:
We recommend that you open your WordPress Dashboard and click on the "Check again" link. This action will trigger a re-check of your site's status. For more details, please refer to our WPML Troubleshooting Guide.

ivayloK-5	Background of the issue: I need to make a local website a production. (hidden link) for static generation purposes. I have a local instance of a WP with WPML and I made it 'production' instance so I can initiate a static generation. Symptoms: The development banner didn't disappear. Questions: Why didn't the development banner disappear after making the site a production instance?

ivayloK-5	Hey Marcel, Thanks for the response, I checked for this "Check again" but it's nowhere to be found on the dashboard. It just keep saying "Development Site" on the top.

Marcel WPML Supporter since 02/2019 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi, are you checking in the WP dashboard (Dashboard -> Updates), right? I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site – preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible – in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. ✙ Please add the Links to the […] Edit Screen, the Page/Post where you insert the […] and the corresponding Front End Page/Screen Best Regards, Marcel
