I'm using WPML using different domains different languages on separate domains.

However, the parked domain can no longer be used with Ahrefs or console. There is no directory.

You suggested using multisite, but that does not seem to be compatible with this idea of a different domain per language, you can only set up domain.com/lang1 or lang1.domain.com

How do I set up different domains per language and have a server directory for each domain?

Thanks

Hi,

thanks for contacting us.

It's not clear what do you mean here. I can see hidden link is working fine.
Domain configuration must follow these guidelines https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/

Can you please better elaborate?

Hi. Yes.
The main domain is marklewis56.co.uk
I set up multilingual wpml using 2 domains but
I can't use Ahrefs on the parked domain marklewis.fr because it has no server directory.
A previous discussion with wpml suggested using wordpress multisite, but that will not allow me to retain .co.uk in English and .fr = French

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe check with your hosting provider if an Alias domain is a possible solution.

For some reason the ahrefs audit now works on the parked domain, so I'm abandoning the need for a server directory / multisite.
