 * I’m fairly sure this worked when I first set up WPML, but now in the settings
   the currency conversion will not sync and it throws the error:
 * `error_code: 105 - error_info: Access Restricted - Your current Subscription 
   Plan does not support Source Currency Switching.`
 * This is for the free account and free API from CurrencyLayer. GBP base currency
   which I think is acceptable for CurrencyLayer
 * Edit: On second check maybe it doesn’t support GBP as base currency. That sucks,
   I thought it was the only one that did

 * Hello [@dyevans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyevans/),
 * Could you please reproduce the issue in this test website? [https://black-theremin.sandbox.otgs.work/?auto=zopdltQNUu1j3y3gSlaXzrypkxFVN9DW](https://black-theremin.sandbox.otgs.work/?auto=zopdltQNUu1j3y3gSlaXzrypkxFVN9DW)–
   we would like to do some tests.

 * Hi,
 * Your test website doesn’t have a WooCommerce install, so WPMLMC doesn’t work 
   on it currently.

 * Hi there,
 * We leave all plugins disabled, so that the user can configure as similar as possible
   to their website.
 * I enabled Woocommerce for now, could you please check? [https://black-theremin.sandbox.otgs.work/?auto=zopdltQNUu1j3y3gSlaXzrypkxFVN9DW](https://black-theremin.sandbox.otgs.work/?auto=zopdltQNUu1j3y3gSlaXzrypkxFVN9DW)
 * PS: If you are also using WPML, could you please open a ticket in our support
   forum? It will be easier and faster to help you from there: [https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/](https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/)

 * I have enabled currencylayer on that test site with my API key and it returns
   the same error. Although it is not obvious on the CurrencyLayer website I think
   you may have to pay to use anything other than USD as your default currency. 
   This seems to be the case with all of the APIs you use. Given my site is very
   low traffic it is uneconomical for me to pay for an API service, plenty of other
   plugins seems to be able to pull their data from publicly available sources. 
   I have found it easier to switch currency plugins to one that does not use these
   restricted APIs.
   thanks for your help in any case,

 * Hello [@dyevans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyevans/),
 *  I checked and It seems that the source currency for CurrencyLayer is EUR. If
   you want a different source currency (e.g. USD), you need to have at least the
   Basic plan (paid).
 * May I ask you which API you are using now? Maybe it’s possible to use [https://openexchangerates.org/](https://openexchangerates.org/)
   for that.
