Background of the issue:
I bound the WPML key to a website under development, in the middle of which I migrated the website and rebound WPML, I followed the instructions to use the original website as a copy, but I found that the copy website could not be updated with WPML related plugins.

Symptoms:
The replica website can't update WPML, prompting 'Update Failed: Failed to remove old translations.' I tried logging out of WPML and refilling the key, but the update still fails.

Questions:
What should I do to be able to update the WPML related plugins?

Hi,

Every new URL requires a unique key, so do this:
https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-remove-the-this-site-is-registered-on-wpml-org-as-a-development-site-notice/#what-if-the-notice-still-appears-after-moving-to-production

And should be able to update plugins.
