Problem: The user is seeing an error in the WPML Advanced Translation Editor Logs indicating a change in your site's URL. This error appears because WPML has detected a URL change and needs confirmation whether the site has been moved or copied. Solution: First, ensure you have a full backup of your site. Then, follow these steps: 1) Navigate to WPML>>Settings>>Translation Editor. 2) Select the Advanced Translation Editor (recommended) option. 3) Go to WPML>>Translation Management. 4) Check if the Site Moved wizard is showing. If it is, select the option for Changing to a New Site URL and complete the wizard steps. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the documentation on using the Advanced Translation Editor when you move or use a copy of your site.
