Hello,

I've recently migrated my webhop to a new server and it doesn't recognize my wpml subscription. I've found threads, that describe the same issue but for some reason the recommended solution doesn't work for me.

My website has now the url hidden link. It's the same domain, just without the www.

I went to my wpml account and deleted the old registration key that was registered on hidden link. Then I created a new key for the new url.
But whenever I try to use the new key in the section wordpress plugin -> add new -> commercial tab, it doesn't give me the option to register with the new key. It seems like the plugin is still connected to the url I already deleted from my wpml account.

I'd appreciate some help with this. Wish you a nice day and regards, Nina

Hello Noman,

thank you for your quick response.

I followed your instructions but it still shows the same warning:"WPML plugin cannot connect to wpml.org".

I followed the same steps on my staging site and that worked.

It seems you have registered WPML successfully on your site:hidden link so it’s (the WPML plugin cannot connect to wpml.org) a false-positive notification you can remove it by following the below steps:

1. Please go to WP Dashboard Menu >> Updates.
2. Press the "Check again" link.
3. Now please go to the Plugins page and see if that notification still exists or not.

Thank you
