This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with hreflang and canonical tags across their multilingual sites. Specifically, hreflang tags are not appearing correctly, and the canonical tags are incorrect on certain sites. Additionally, the client is concerned about the absence of an x-default hreflang tag and the visibility of hreflang tags on a non-webshop site.
Solution:
We recommend enabling the option "Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality" in WPML > Languages to correct the hreflang and canonical tag issues. This setting helps ensure that each language version of the site uses the correct URLs in hreflang and canonical tags. Regarding the x-default hreflang tag, it's beneficial to include it as it serves as a fallback for users whose languages are not covered by your specified hreflang tags. If your default site language is Dutch, you can still use the Dutch domain as the x-default. For the non-webshop site, ensure that hreflang tags are not implemented if they do not share the same content as the other sites.
If these steps do not resolve your issues or if the information seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, please open a new support ticket.
