This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client inquired about the implications of adding a different domain to their main shop page and whether links, images, orders, and users would automatically sync or if a full import would be necessary.
Solution:
We clarified that changing the main domain of a site is not directly related to WPML but to WordPress itself. We advised that if the client is not familiar with this process, they should seek assistance from a WPML contractor (https://wpml.org/contractors) or a developer. This professional help is crucial to ensure that all old URLs pointing to the previous domain are correctly converted to the new domain.
Please note that this solution might not be relevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your specific case. If you encounter issues, we highly recommend checking the related known issues (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 the problem persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us for further assistance.
