Possible conflict with Polylang

    Hi. I’m having a problem with the usage of the plugin in combination with Polylang, the famous translation plugin. Every time I work on a translated article and republish it with Yoast Duplicate Post, the post looses its hreflang, an extremely important tag to let search engines know the page has an alternative version in another language. Is there a way to fix the issue?

    Hey @fabykennedy,

    Thank you for using Yoast Duplicate Post and reaching out.

    I tried replicating what you experienced but to no avail.

    These were my steps:

    – Write a post in English.
    – Click the + icon to write the post in Dutch.
    – Both posts were published and linked through Polylang.
    – I clicked the Rewrite & Republish on the Dutch article. Added a sentence and clicked on Republish.
    – I checked the page source and the language tags were present and correct.

    Are you running the latest plugins, themes, and WordPress versions? Can you try to replicate the same behavior when Duplicate Post and Polylang are the only active plugins on your site? You can do so with the Health Check plugin troubleshooting mode – or on a staging copy of your site.

    Hi there and thanks for replying. I did as you said but unfortunately I’ve still got the issue. In my case I have an Italian blog with English translations.

    When I edit a native post it holds the link with the translated one, but conversly the English post looses the hreflang tag. Eventually, when even the translated article is edited and republished, they both loose the link.

    Anyway this is happening with every plugin of this kind I’m testing in my local environment.
