magnusJ-3	Tell us what you are trying to do? Solve the error from Semrush: 30 hreflang conflicts within page source code. error. Is there any documentation that you are following? No Is there a similar example that we can see? About this issue This is what Semrush says: If you're running a multilingual website, it is necessary to help users from other countries find your content in the language that is most appropriate for them. This is where the hreflang (rel="alternate" hreflang="x") attribute comes in handy. This attribute helps search engines understand which page should be shown to visitors based on their location. It is very important to properly synchronize your hreflang attributes within your page's source code, otherwise you may experience unexpected search engine behavior. For more information, see this article. How to fix it To avoid any conflicts, we recommend that you review your hreflang attributes within your page's source code and fix any of the following issues: - Conflicting hreflang and rel=canonical URLs - Conflicting hreflang URLs - No self-referencing hreflang URLs What is the link to your site? Some of the affected pages are: hidden link hidden link What should I do? Please advise.

Subash Chandra Poudel	Hi there, I see the hreflang attributes for the pages you shared is setup fine. However I see that both page have canonical URL set to hidden link which seems to be incorrect and causing the issue here. I see you are using Yoast SEO plugin on your site however you dont have our WPML SEO plugin required to properly support SEO Plugins. As explained in the next link can you please install WPML SEO and see if it fixes the issue? https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-seo/

magnusJ-3	Hi, I'm afraid that didn't help. Could you please have another look and see if you can find the issue?

Subash Chandra Poudel	Thank you for the updates, Can you please backup the site then update all plugins, theme and WordPress to their latest version and see if it helps? If the issue persists, I would need to take a closer look at your site. So would you please mind sharing temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site? Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. I have enabled a private reply for you to share the credentials securely, which means only you and I have access to it. IMPORTANT: Please take a complete backup of the site first to avoid data loss. ✙ I would additionally need your permission to make a copy of the site with plugins like Duplicator and deploy it in my local machine to test the issue further.
