Problem: The client was setting up different domains for each language on their site using WPML but encountered issues where the different domain per language setup was not working. Solution: First, we recommended resaving the WPML>>Languages>>Language URL format settings and the Settings>>Permalinks. The client was also advised to clear all types of caches to see if the issue was resolved. Additionally, to verify the DNS settings, we suggested uploading a text file named WPMLTest.txt to the main domain's root directory and checking its accessibility from all the intended domains.WPML_LS_Menu_ItemUpon further investigation, it was discovered that the subdomain was not set to the actual document root (/public_html). Correcting this setting resolved the issue.

Problem: The client is unable to set up WPML and is not experiencing specific errors or unexpected behavior. Solution: We recommend the following steps to identify and resolve the issue: 1. Create a full backup of your website. 2. Disable all plugins except for WPML and its add-ons. 3. Switch to a default WordPress theme, such as TwentySeventeen. 4. Check if the issue persists with only WPML active. If it does not, reactivate your plugins one by one to identify which one may be causing the issue. 5. If the issue still occurs with only WPML active, keep all non-WPML plugins deactivated, and try to recreate the issue. We suggest performing these steps in a staging environment if possible.
