Leggo che WPML dipende dalla REST API di WordPress per alcune funzioni, e WordPress/Site Health verifica la REST API chiamando gli endpoint del sito stesso, cioè URL del tipo hidden link.... WordPress documenta anche i test di loopback, cioè richieste che il sito fa verso sé stesso. Se il dominio pubblico non risolve verso il nuovo server oppure dal server non è raggiungibile correttamente quel dominio, il test può fallire anche se lo sviluppatore entra nel sito tramite spoofing DNS o file hosts dal proprio PC.

Quindi potrebbe essere che il sito è in sviluppo e quindi c'è un problema di puntamento DNS ?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the details.

The message “Your site doesn’t meet WPML’s minimum requirements” can sometimes appear even when the server configuration itself is correct. In some cases this is caused by server-side security rules, such as a hosting firewall, ModSecurity, or Cloudflare protection, which may block or modify certain requests that WPML needs to perform when checking the site requirements.

I would recommend checking the following:

- Temporarily disable or relax Cloudflare security rules (for example WAF or Bot protection) and test again.

- Ask your hosting provider if ModSecurity or another firewall is active and whether it could be blocking requests coming from your site.

- If possible, temporarily whitelist your site or disable the firewall protection to confirm whether this is the cause.

If the issue persists after checking these points, please let me know and share your WPML debug information.

In the meantime you can also click button skip for now and continue to configure WPML on your side.

Kind regards,
Dražen
