How can I move the hreflang tags created by Polylang higher up in the pages’ HTML code? At the moment Polylang is placing these tags too low in the HTML, which means that Google is having a difficult time fetching them.
I had Google Search Console saying for more than a year that my site doesn’t have hreflang tags but after creating ones manually and placing them in the beginning of the <head> section of my pages, it only took Google 2 days to crawl them.
This is also a tip for the developers: you really need to change how Polylang places these codes as Google has changed its crawling. Google is now recommending that you will have these codes as high in the head section as possible and definitely before any tracking codes, such as Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics etc.
]]>I just noticed that Google search console is giving our site a “Your site has no hreflang tags” error. We’ve been using Polylang as our multilingual plugin for more than a year now and I only just noticed this error. We’ve set English and Finnish as our languages.
]]>First of all let me say that this plugin have saved me a lot of headache with all the different HTTP Headers and it’s very simple to use, Thank you for making this plugin!!
One enhancements that is missing in this plugin is “Hreflang Tags” once it can do also that it’s a full HTTP Header control…
Do you think it’s possible to add such functions?
Thank you.
]]>I saw that Polylang had an update, so I hoped this would fix the problem. But unfortunately after updating the plugin right away, 5 days later it still remains an error.
I do not remember making any changes to the site on November 28 or 29 that would trigger this error. I have had Polylang installed for a couple months and have had no problems prior to this.
Any ideas as to what could be contributing to the error?
Additional info that may be helpful to know:
– Permalinks settings: Post name
– Using static front page on the home page
– Polylang settings:
URL Modifications selected:
“The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks”
“Hide URL language information for default language”
“Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks”
Detect browser language activated
Activated languages and translations for media
Synchronization (nothing checked)
WPML compatibility on
– Link to site: yekwonsunwoo.com
– WordPress and Polylang are up to date
– No detection of conflict with another plugin
Hey,
I am using The SEO Ultimate Plugin for my company’s website.
The Website is a Multisite using WordPress Network.
Is there a way with the plugin to implement HREFLANG Tags?
Thanks a lot.

]]>I use Polylang Version 1.9 and have the hreflang in the head of every page.
For example:
<link rel=”alternate” href=”https://www.hotelsandproperties.com/” hreflang=”en”/>
<link rel=”alternate” href=”https://www.hotelsandproperties.com/nl/” hreflang=”nl”/>
Tested positive with three different websites:
https://flang.dejanseo.com.au/
https://www.sistrix.com/hreflang-guide/hreflang-validator/
https://technicalseo.com/seo-tools/hreflang/
But Google WebmasterTools still says that I do not have hreflang-tags.
What do they need? Glasses?
Please anyone know what to do here?

]]>I like your Plugin very much, but I have a little Problem.
I’d like to integrate a hreflang-Tag in the header, so that it is easier for the search engines to filter the search results by languages.
I’m not that practised in WordPress-Plugins so: is there a easy way to access the functions an parameter of your plugin from the header.php to build an hreflang-Tag for the appropriate language?

]]>Our main website is https://www.global-lingo.com/ and we also made a localised, indentical website for Singapore, https://www.global-lingo.sg/. I was checking Webmaster tools and saw that the main domain shows 234 errors for the hreflang tags.
Some specifics to know:
We added the language tags only on the main domain’s header, as we wanted this to be site wide.
The number of errors went down. There were 281 on the 27th of June.
The content is identical on both websites, the language is English on both. The number of pages is not identical as we deleted some from the Singaporean website, as well as blog posts. There are over 400 on the main website and less than 100 on the Singaporean website.
We use canonicals on our pages, all of them, and I see 1613 notices from the pages that use canonicals. Maybe it’s related to the no returns tags issue.
Did we put the code in the right place? Do we need to add it to the Singaporean website header also?
Thank you for your help. I know there are a lot of questions.
