Background of the issue:
I've moved my site to a new host/server, but the URL has stayed the same. I'm using WPML and encountered an issue after the move.
Symptoms:
I'm getting the message: 'WPML detected a new address for this site. Looks like this site was previously at hidden link and now it’s at hidden link.'
Questions:
Obviously the urls are the same. Please can you advise which option I should select here?
You are getting this notification because of site migration from one host to another. Because the Advanced Translation Editor detects the change. Please choose the first option of the wizard *Yes / This is only a copy* after a full site backup and make sure the issue exists or not.
Please refer to the following documentation for more details.
Hi, ok I’ve selected ‘yes’ but then I’m asked if I want to share translation credits between the two (same) sites. I selected ‘yes’. Then I have to click a link to get a code, but clicking that link just redirects me to the start of the wizard?
Please try the following steps to register the site with a new key after a full site backup {mandatory} and make sure you are getting the expected result or not.
