Background of the issue:
I am trying to use WPML on my site hosted by Elementor hosting. I pointed the DNS to the www address, and the site went live.

Symptoms:
I can't use the credits on the cloud site to translate. I need to add the live site to my account, but I can't log into that site because everything is managed from the old setup.

Questions:
How can I add the live site to my WPML account?
Why can't I use the credits on the cloud site to translate?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support and our apologies for late reply due to load in support.

Can you please explain about:

...but I can't log into that site because everything is managed from the old setup.

Ideally to register a new site with WPML, you can use these simple steps:

- Go to https://wpml.org/account/sites/.
- Create a new site key.
- Then go back to your site's Plugins -> Add New -> Commercial in your website.
- Click the register link and use the new site key (created above) to register.

Please let me know and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter.

Regards.

P.S.: I'll be off over the weekend in a couple of hours and 'll be able to attend on Monday.
