I have two WordPress instances with multi-sites and I think the development URLs are confusing WPML. The sites I have are as follows:
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link

and
hidden link
hidden link

These will all have unique URLs once live. The only site I have been able to get the translations to work on is hidden link . I either get an error saying the URL has changed, or to migrate the URL (it mentioned controlshift.ie with was an old domain I used, but changed to controlshift.nz - but I have already told it I've changed to controlshift.nz). Hopefully you can help me.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience while we continue investigating this issue.

To better understand why the migration wizard is not appearing, our second-tier team has requested a duplicator package of your site. This will allow them to replicate the environment and identify the root cause more effectively.

Could you please generate and share a duplicator package with us at your convenience? You can zip those files using google drive and share the links with us.

Looking forward to your update. Thanks again for your cooperation!

Hello there,

Can you go to WPML->Translation Dashboard of those sites and complete the migration and see if it works?

Look forward to your reply.
