Nate	I am trying to: Change the hreflang to ja for a language with code jp and url /jp Link to a page where the issue can be seen: sitewide I expected to see: I expected to be able to keep "jp" as the code and /jp url, but be able to change the hreflang to "ja". Instead, I got: I changed the hreflang to "ja" and clicked Save but it reverted back to "jp"

That being said, can you please check if this issue appears when: - only WPML plugins are activated, as it will tell us if there is an interaction issue with other plugin - theme is set to a WordPress default like Twenty Twenty as it will tell us if there is an interaction issue with your theme If you find that the issue is no longer there, then I suggest you activate the theme first and check if the issue is still happening. If still all working well, then there is possibly some compatibility problem with any of your plugins, so you can for example activate 3 plugins at a time and observe the problem then.

Nate	Thank you for your help thus far. When I try to change the Default Locale and hreflang to "ja", I receive the following error, "The default locale already exists." See screenshot. This may help... When we created the language, we wanted to Japanese urls to appear as /jp instead of /ja. So, we created a custom language with code "jp" and default locale "jp_JP" and hreflang "jp". It seems that since there is a "ja" language already built into WPML, that's why it's not letting me change the custom language to hreflang "ja" as well. What is the workaround? What do we need to do so that our custom language has hreflang "jp"?

For this case, you could activate built-in Japanese, change default locale to something like jp_notused, save and then add your own.
