Hi,

We are using WPML in a multisite network. On the main site, automatic translations for "other strings" work fine. But on the sub-site, it doesn't. We keep getting the error message attached.

Hi there,

Please go to WPML->Support->ATE error logs and share with us the top 5 errors from that page, this will help us understand what might be causing this behavior.

Hello,
My name is Carlos, and I will continue working on this ticket.

Can you double-check if the issue persists? Our servers had a minor issue that was fixed during the dates of the errors, and maybe your site wasn't able to connect to our ATE servers during that time, which caused the problem.

Looking forward to your message.
Regards,
Carlos

Hi there,
Thank you for your message.

When you created this staging subsite, did you create a new registration key?

April 22, 2025 at 10:46 am #16954594

tobiO

Yes it has a site key. See screenshot attached.

Hi,

Yes, I know it has a site key, but did you create a new site key for the staging site? or did you run the migration banner?

April 22, 2025 at 11:05 am #16954710

tobiO

I am not sure i understand what you mean by migration banner.

Do they mean to create a new site key for the subsite?

We thought once you create a site key for the main site, it should work for all the other subsites
We created a site key for the main site, not sure if we created one for the subsite or if it was created automatically.

Thank you for your message.

Please follow these steps:
- Create a full site backup
- Go to https://wpml.org/account/sites/
- If the subsite is registered, remove it.
-- Then go to the subsite to Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab
-- Unregister the subsite
-- Click the link to add the new site key and then on the link that appears below the field to enter the site key
-- Generate a new site key and register the subsite with the new sitekey
-- Double-check if the issue disappeared

Can you tell me the results of the steps described above?

Hi,

I removed the subsite from wpml.

But we can't add new plugins from the subsite, so instead of "Add new", which can only be done from the network admin, I clicked "registered", and it took me to a tab within settings called installer. From there I could see the "unregister WPML from this site" button. But I clicked it and it didn't unregister. It refreshed the page, but nothing changed.

Am I meant to do this from the network admin?

Hi,

Please check if you followed our guide for multisites: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multisite-support/

April 22, 2025 at 12:33 pm #16955256

tobiO

Yes we followed the guide.

In your previous message you said:

"- Then go to the subsite to Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab"

There is no Add new button in the subsite. Did you mean the main network admin?

WPML is working fine on the subsites, other content is translating the only thing not working is automatic translation of other strings.
