Problem: The client was unable to change their site from development to production due to a persistent message and was unable to refresh or remove the 'development site' notice. Solution: We recommended the client to: 1. Ensure a full backup of the site. 2. Add the following code snippet to the theme's
functions.php
file:
add_action('init', function(){<br /> if (isset($_GET['remove_wpml_key'])) {<br /> $installer = WP_Installer::instance();<br /> $installer->remove_site_key('wpml', true);<br /> echo "Done. Remove the code from " .__FILE__;<br /> exit;<br /> }<br />}, 999);
3. Visit the site's URL with the query parameter
?remove_wpml_key
to trigger the code and remove the WPML site key. 4. After confirming the key has been removed, delete the code snippet from the
functions.php
file. 5. Attempt to register WPML again with a new key. In a separate attempt, we also suggested: 1. Deactivate the WPML plugin from the individual site within the network. 2. Activate the WPML plugin network-wide through the WordPress network admin dashboard. 3. After activating WPML network-wide, unregister the site using the network URL provided.
