Unable to register: Site key not matching

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

Problem:
I am having this issue where WPML does not seem to recognize the license key. Additionally, I can't find the configuration option to set the automatic translation mode or translate the page. This issue may be related to the key.

Solution:
To resolve the issue with the license key and access the WPML settings:

1. Go to http://wpml.org/account/sites to generate a WPML key for your domain.

2. In your WordPress site's backend, navigate to Plugins > Add new > Commercial.

3. Check if WPML is registered with the WPML key. If it's not, click on "register WPML" and enter the key generated in step 1.

4. If the key is registered successfully, you should receive automatic updates based on your license.

For the issue regarding the missing WPML settings and support tabs:

1. Ensure that the WPML key is registered correctly.

2. If the issue persists, open a new support ticket specifically for this issue.

Please follow the provided links to access the relevant pages and resolve the issues.

joseA-46	Hi, it looks like wpml does not recognize the key. This website was translated some time ago, but we are trying to work now with a new license, is it possible? Also, I can’t see the configuration option to set the automatic translation mode. Also, I can't translate the page. Maybe all of this is because of the key. Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Here (http://wpml.org/account/sites) you should be able to find the WPML key that you generated for that domain. Can you please go to your site's backend > Plugins > Add new > Commercial > and make sure that WPML is registered with the WPML key? If WPML is not registered, can you please click on "register WPML" and try to register WPML with the key from the initial page I mentioned? Please let me know how things go. Mihai Apetrei

joseA-46	Hi, Mihai. What you mean with adding the plugin "Commercial"? Who is the developer? How is it related with WPML? Sorry, I don't get you. Also, as I told you I can’t see the configuration option to set the automatic translation mode or even to add the key. Thanks for your help in advance.

thomasB-139	Hello, on our website, too, the update daoes not work, resp. requires a (manual) site key entry. After entering the correct site key I get the error message: "Connection error: Unable to get data from service. Detailed error: cURL error 60: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'api.wpml.org'"

In order to register WPML, you need to generate a site key here (https://wpml.org/account/sites) and then copy and paste that site key in your site's backend by going to the Plugins tab on the left side vertical menu, then go to "Add new", then select the "Commercial" tab, and that's the area where you can add the WPML key. If your domain name is "hidden link", then you should find the page I'm referring to here: hidden link That's where you need to add the WPML key that you generated here: https://wpml.org/account/sites Please let me know if that makes sense or if you still can't find the page I'm referring to. I can also see that another user has posted on this ticket - thomasB-139, can you please open a new ticket? Thank you. Mihai

joseA-46	Ok, it says: "WPML is registered on this website. You will receive automatic updates until October 28, 2023.". So, the key is not the issue. But I still can't see the settings or support tabs in the plugin menu, so I can't share with you the debug information... What's the next step? Thanks in advance.
