This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is trying to set up WPML on a site that is not yet in public DNS, using the hosts file of Windows OS. They encountered issues with CRON jobs not running when switching from the staging to the main install, and the solution on the staging site did not work on the main site.
Solution:
We recommend completing the WPML setup without installing the WPML String Translation plugin first. After that, navigate to Plugins > Add new > Commercial and install WPML String Translation from there. Alternatively, you can manually install it by downloading the plugin from your WPML.org account and then uploading the zip file via Plugins > Add new > Upload. Remember to activate the plugin after installation.
If this solution does not seem relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket with us.
