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

Problem:
You are seeing a message in your WPML plugin indicating 'WPML detected a new address for this site', although the site address has not changed. The message suggests that the site was previously at https://zloto24.com and now it’s at https://zloto24.com, which appears to be the same.
Solution:
This seems to be a false prompt due to the same URL being detected. We recommend following the steps outlined in the WPML documentation on handling site moves or when two domains point to the same website. You can find the guide here: Using Advanced Translation Editor when you move or use a copy of your site. After following these steps, check if the banner indicating the new address disappears.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
In my WPML plugin, I see a message stating 'WPML detected a new address for this site'. The message indicates that the site was previously at hidden link and now it’s at hidden link. I did not change the address, nor did I add a dot at the end. I even searched for addresses with a dot at the end in the database and replaced them, but that did not help.

Symptoms:
WPML detected a new address for this site, but the address appears unchanged.

Questions:
What option should I choose: 'Yes/This is only a copy - original site is still running' or 'No/I changed the address of the site to this new one'?

Hi,

Given the same URL indicating this to be a false prompt, what if you try this?
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/using-advanced-translation-editor-when-you-move-or-use-a-copy-of-your-site/#what-should-i-do-if-i-have-two-domains-pointing-to-the-same-website

Is the banner gone after this?
