martinM-71	Tell us what you are trying to do? I'm checking website hreflang tags and all checkers I'm trying to do are giving us errors for them. Is it somekind of issue with href tags from WPML or something else? Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? We have found quite few issues related to it but not fix yet. What is the link to your site? hidden link

It looks like the issue is with the Estonian language hreflang "et". "ET" is the recommended hreflang to be used with the language Estonian, however you can test using "EE" as well, or add the one recommended. To change the hreflang from the backend , follow the steps below: - Go to WPML->Languages - Edit languages - Edit the language's hreflang and save Let me know your results, please.

martinM-71	Hi Bobby, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Anyway I have changed to suggested hreflang "EE" but there seems to be no effect in the results. SEMrush shows similar hreflang conflicts but with different pages. Wondering whats its about. The "et" looked fine but for Finnish, English and Russian it returns not correct hreflang. What are your thoughts about it? Is it something we should be worried about ?

You can view this by going to your homepage=>Right click->View source and search for Hreflang. Additionally I crosschecked with another site that is not semrush and your URLs are indexable and verified that as well with a chrome plugin for checking the google tags, see screenshots please.

martinM-71	Seems like it might show differently on different testing tools. Hreflang tags seems to be correctly in most cases. For some pages it still throws error hreflang conflicts within source code.
