Background of the issue:
I started working on my website hidden link on a staging link. After moving it to production, I unknowingly didn't follow the right process and deleted the key from my account.
Symptoms:
The production site won't detect the new key, and when I use the old key, it is recognized as a development key. I cannot translate my website as it will not register a new key.
Questions:
Assist in registering a new production key on my website?
In this case, it's best to re-register the website. Please follow these steps:
1. Go to wpml.org/account/sites and remove the website from the list. Preferably staging and other versions of the website as well;
2. Add it again and copy the newly generated key;
4. Register the website again, with the key you copied in step #2;
This has no impact on your previously created translations. That should do the trick. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for these steps, I have done that adnd still I get the error I shared above. Note, that the staging and other versions of the website are no longer there but the staging key is only that accepts to progress. I did as you explained removed all versions and re-registered afresh and it won't work. I will share with you my backend login details for you to access and see;

This is the latest key in my account: [removed by support]
I removed the credentials you shared as this is a public forum. I strongly recommend that you remove this user or, at least, change its password, as your information might've been compromised.
To share your credentials safely, I've activated a form.

I may need to replicate your website locally. To do this, I need to temporarily install a plugin called "Duplicator" or "All in One WP Migration" on your website. This will allow me to create a copy of your website and content. Once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local website. Let me know if this works for you.
IMPORTANT
Please make a backup copy of the site files and database before giving us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, this means your post and site login details are being made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details if you do not see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:
I was able to proceed with the setup, but WPML is still nor working as intended. On WPML > Support, I see the error:
code: http_request_failed
message: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds
