[Resolved] This copy of the site has the same content as the original site

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. When you clone a site, WPML shows this message because it detects the same content and translation memory from the original site.

If you want both sites to share the same translation memory, you can select “Yes - This is only a copy, original site is still running.” More details here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/using-advanced-translation-editor-when-you-move-or-use-a-copy-of-your-site/

If you prefer to keep them completely separate, please take a backup and follow this guide to reset the connection: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/this-site-has-moved-to-a-new-location-19/#post-14905665

Please let me know the results,
Thank you

I tried running the query on my test site by following these steps:

- Installed/Activated the WP phpMyAdmin plugin.
- Selected the wp_options table.
- Clicked on the SQL tab
- Added this query:

Select *
From wp_options
where option_name = 'WPML_SITE_ID:ate'
OR option_name = 'WPML_TM_AMS'
OR option_name = 'otgs_wpml_tm_ate_cloned_site_lock'

It worked fine and returned two rows (screenshot attached).
Could you please check if you followed the same steps?
If the issue persists, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.

Your next answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is essential.

Thank you
