Background of the issue:
I am trying to set up WPML to use a different domain (.no) for the Norwegian language on my site hidden link. I am following the documentation provided by WPML for using different domains per language.

Symptoms:
I get a 'not valid' error when trying to add the .no URL in the settings, regardless of whether I use hidden link, hidden link, hidden link, or just the URL.

Questions:
Why am I getting a 'not valid' error when adding the .no domain for Norwegian language in WPML settings?

Hello,

I think there is something off in the configuration of the domains.

If you check this documentation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/#testing-if-the-domains-are-set-properly

It says:

It’s easy to check if the domains are set up properly. Before you set the option in WPML, simply visit your new domains or subdomains. They should all show the same site without a redirection.

I visited:
hidden link and get

This site can’t provide a secure connection
hidden link uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

and hidden link redirects to hidden link

Can you please check it with your hosting or domain registrar?

Best Regards,
Otto
