Hi, I have a problem after cloning a website to a new wordpress installation.

I get this error:

You or someone else moved this site to hidden link. Please keep in mind that:
Translations that you do at hidden link will not appear on this site.
You cannot edit translations on this site.
The site at hidden link is using the same credits for automatic translation as this site.

If you didn't intend to move this site to hidden link, you can indicate that this site should be at hidden link.

hidden link is the original website
hidden link in the new website

Both website are online in production. I don't want move credit from first to second site. They should be indipendent.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks

Hi there.

Then:

1. You need to select that the main domain remains the domain for the site and that the site has not been moved (go to hidden link website backend and indicate that the website should remain on hidden link)

2. You need to use different keys per different domains.

3. If you set your WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL dynamically in your wp-config.php you will get reminded that the site was moved, without actually being moved.

This is what I mean by dynamic:

define('WP_HOME','<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_SITEURL','<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

So this code would need to be removed from that file in case it is added there.

Please let me know how things go.

Kind regards,
Mihai Apetrei

I Mihai, we checked and

1) we already select that hidden link is the main site on vcanto backend
2) we use different keys for different domains
3) we have not dynamic wp-home and siteurl in wp-config

but the problem is not solved..

Hi there and thank you for the update.

1. Can you please send me a screenshot of this page: https://wpml.org/account/sites

2. Can you please create a full website backup of both sites

3. Then please create a new Administrator user for both of the sites (use the same username and password for both) and share them with me in the private fields I am enabling below so that I can take a closer look?

Thank you.

Mihai
