Background of the issue:
I am trying to configure subdomains for different languages on my WordPress site using WPML. The subdomains are de.napaldeals.com for German, cn.napaldeals.com for Chinese, and en.napaldeals.com for English. I have ensured that each subdomain points to the same IP address as my main website hosted on GoDaddy, and I have configured the DNS settings in Cloudflare, including enabling the 'Proxy' feature.
Here’s what I’ve already done to troubleshoot:
I verified the DNS settings in Cloudflare and confirmed that the A records are pointing to the correct IP.
I ensured that the "Different languages in directories" option is selected in WPML’s language settings and that the subdomains are correctly mapped to each language.
I cleared the WPML cache and re-scanned the language settings.
I disabled the Cloudflare proxy temporarily, but the issue persists.

Symptoms:
WPML is showing the subdomains as invalid in the language settings.

Questions:
Could you please assist me in resolving the issue with WPML not recognizing the subdomains?
Is there any misconfiguration or additional steps I need to take to ensure WPML correctly recognizes the subdomains?

Hello,

Go to WPML > Languages > Language URL format.

Select "A different domain per language".

If WPML can not validate the domain, please uncheck the checkboxes to avoid domain validation and you should be able to save the setting.

If this will not solve the issue, please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas
