Hi,
I want to use a different domain per language. My domain domain is currently not in use so I installed the staging site on that domain: hidden link
- The other two language domains are: prolaz.bg (Not in use) and Prolaz.hr (currently in use)
- I will also be using elementor pro
My concern is that if I select these options from the beginning, I will not be able to access the croatian translation side of the site.. From the documentation, it looks like a logout will be required when switching between domains?
What is the best way for me to set this up for development?
If I understood correctly you already have a Croatian website running (hidden link), which has Croatian as a default language and English as a secondary one (from what I could notice from the website).
I would suggest you set up the development site to use the WPML -> Language-> Language URL format -> "Different languages in directories", after development/translation is finished you can switch to "A different domain per language" and set up the respective domains.
* Note: You'll need to import the Croatian translations to the development site in order to function after you switch the language URL format.
Regarding your concern related to the logout, on the WPML -> Language-> Language URL format, when setting "A different domain per language", you'll need to check the checkbox "Auto sign-in and sign-out users from all domains" in order to enable login sessions to carry over to other domains. As you said you'll be using Elementor, you need to enable this feature. Otherwise, you’ll get logged out when you switch between domains.
