Updating the plugin

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.

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

Problem: I am trying to update the plugin and add my key but it says its invalid.

Solution: Please follow below steps:

- Please backup your database and website - Deactivate the existing WPML plugin and add-ons. - Delete the plugin files – this does not delete your translations. You will just delete the plugin files from your "wp-content/plugins" folder, all your data will be kept saved.

- Install and activate WPML again. You can download it from your account: https://wpml.org/account/downloads/

- Again register WPML in your site and enter the new key: Please Login to your WPML account >> go to Sites page >> Remove your current site / domain from there >> and re-add your site >> it will give you New key which you can add back in your site: https://wpml.org/account/sites/

cloudeon-asC	Hi, So I have done as you suggested, removed the plugin and added the new one. No my language selector doesn't work. hidden link I can see that the pages are there if I change the directory in the url but the selector that was working does not work. Is there something that we need to do to get it to work? I can see in the backend " WPML needs to set languages to existing media in your site. Set media languages" <- Does this have something to do with it? I really hope you can help!
