[Waiting for user confirmation] Helping DNS configuration for seperate domains
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
WordPress 6.7 has introduced a new issue that impact translations, please update WooCommerce and WPML to the latest versions before you report issues. More about this here - https://wpml.org/errata/php-error-wp-6-7-notice-function-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called/
Background of the issue:
I am trying to configure DNS at IONOS for separate domains using WPML. I prefer to have two different or separate domains for translations. I have been following the documentation provided by WPML.
Symptoms:
CNAME redirection is not possible for main domain names according to my hoster, IONOS. They suggested contacting support for WPML to explore other methods.
Questions:
Could you provide guidance on configuring DNS for separate domains with WPML?
Are there alternative methods to implement WPML with different domains per language if CNAME redirection is not possible?
To ensure that different domains function as expected, you need to ensure that all your domains (or subdomains) point to the same WordPress installation where you are using WPML.
This is something your hosting company should be able to assist you with or know how to set up. WPML does not check your DNS settings; the feature will work as long as the second domain points to the same installation.
Hey Andrey, thanks a lot for your reply. I read already all your documentations. Unfortunately it's not really precise how to manage the settings by myself. The problem, like I descripted, my hosting company (IONOS) won't do it OR as I said, it's apparantly not possible to change CNAME according to them?! (see my screenshots pls)
So I am bit lost now what to do. Any advice in my case?
Thanks a lot in advance.
I am afraid it is difficult to suggest anything more from our side.
But what you can ask for hosting is that you need 2 domains to show the same website / directory, so for example when you open domain.com it should open your website and work normally when you open domain2.com, it should also open and work normally, not redirect. Maybe they will know another way to achieve this.
