If you are frequently moving the database between production, development, and staging, you can set the site key in the wp-config.php<\/strong> file. This method allows you to avoid re-entering the site key when moving the database between different environments. By generating a unique site key for each domain and adding them to their respective wp-config.php<\/strong> files, you eliminate the need to register WPML manually.<\/p>\n

How do I set a different site key for each environment?<\/h2>\n

To set a different site key per environment:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Generate a different site key for each of the different domains of the site. Go to your Account page<\/a> to generate the site keys.<\/li>\n
  2. Add the different site keys to each of the environments in their respective wp-config.php<\/strong> files, using the following statement:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    define( 'OTGS_INSTALLER_SITE_KEY_WPML', 'your-site-key' );<\/code><\/p>\n

    The value that you set using the OTGS_INSTALLER_SITE_KEY_WPML takes precedence over the value in the database. So, when you move the database between domains, you will not need to update the registration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
