Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where the development banner still appears on your site despite your site key being registered as a production key, this might be confusing. The banner typically states: 'This site is registered on wpml.org as a development site. Switch to a production site key to remove this banner.'
Solution:
We recommend following the steps outlined in our documentation to remove the banner. First, please check the detailed guide on how to address this issue if the notice persists after switching to a production key: How to Remove the Development Site Notice.
Additionally, if you need to automate the WPML registration process across different environments such as development, production, and staging, consider using the method described here: Automatic WPML Registration Using PHP.
