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

Problem:
The client was trying to update the WPML plugin but encountered an issue where the plugin needed to be registered again. Upon attempting to re-register, the client received an 'invalid request' message.
Solution:
1. We asked the client to send a screenshot of their WPML account sites page.
2. We identified that the issue was due to the site key being generated for a domain without the "www" prefix.
3. We instructed the client to go to http://wpml.org/account/sites/, remove the current key, and generate a new key for the exact URL with the "www" prefix: https://www.baysidechiroprovidence.com
4. We then asked the client to enter the new key in their site's backend to see if it resolves the issue.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us on the WPML support forum.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Update the plugin. It is saying it needs to be registered (which I had already done) and when I try to do it again the registration key tells me it's an invalid request.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Instructions provided by site.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
See screenshot.

What is the link to your site?

No worries for the delay, Matt.

I think I found the issue - you created a WPML site key for a site domain that is missing the "www" part.

Please go here (http://wpml.org/account/sites/) > remove the current key > generate a new key for this exact URL: hidden link

Now go in your site's backend and see if this new key works now.

Please let me know how things go.
