Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Our apologies for the delay in answering. I do not see an issue here, as it is expected to have one hreflang for each active language plus one for x-default. See screenshot. I am sadly not able to see your Spanish website due to a location block. Could you please clarify what you are expecting to see? Best regards Andreas

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	If I switch on hidden link to Spanish I get a 404 error. It seems like the permalink is not building up correctly. To understand the issue I will need to take a look into the backend. I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the site to investigate the issue further. The required fields are below the comment section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it. IMPORTANT Please be sure to back up the site and database before granting us access. If you cannot see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your post and site credentials will be set to "PUBLIC". DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields. The private reply form looks like this: hidden link The next time you reply, click on "I still need assistance".

We are not permitted to access any access information that was not specifically submitted on this ticket in the private response form.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	The original page uses the slug: workers-compensation/mtg/hand-wrist-and-forearm-injuries This is an unexpected slug. I would not suggest building a slug this way. Go to hidden link and change the slug to: hand-wrist-and-forearm-injuries The translated Spanish page appears here: hidden link This is expected, as by default WPML will use the title as slug. --- Also, take note that the Spanish page is not yet published to Headless Hostman: "This page has not been published to your live website. Push the red button to get it there, when you are ready."
