Problem:
You are unable to add credits to your site using WPML and receive an error message stating 'something went wrong and to try again later'.
Solution:
First, ensure you have followed the documentation on assigning automatic translation credits: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-assign-automatic-translation-credits-to-your-sites/.
If the issue persists, try these steps:
1. Navigate to Plugins → Add New and select the Commercial tab. Click 'Unregister WPML from this site'.
2. After the page loads, click on 'Register WPML'. You will be prompted to enter the site key. Select 'Get a key for this site'.
3. In your WPML account, complete the Site Key Wizard and set it to 'Production site'.
4. Copy your new key and paste it in the Commercial tab. Afterwards, you can delete your old site key in the WPML account.
If you are unable to create a new site key, delete the old one first.

Hi,

Yes, I’ve already tried following the documentation, but unfortunately it didn’t help.

When I try to add credits to the site katalogi.trefl.com, I receive the following message:
"Something went wrong. Please try again later."

I’m attaching a screenshot that shows the issue.

Please advise what else I can do to resolve this.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Thank you for your feedback, Sebastian.

Can you try the following steps?

1. Go to Plugins → Add New and click the Commercial tab. Click Unregister WPML from this site.

2. Once the page loads, click on Register WPML. A message will appear, asking you to enter the site key. Click on Get a key for this site.

3. In your WPML account, complete the Site Key Wizard and set it to 'Production site'.

4. Copy your new key and paste it in the Commercial tab. When done, you can delete your old site key in the WPML account.

If it doesn't allow you to create a new site key, delete the old one first.
