Hi
Im having an SEO Issue where over 2000 the audit is giving me Hreflang to redirect or broken page

Example:
hidden link

When I switch to arabic it goes to this page
hidden link

When I switch again to English from the arabic it goes to this page
hidden link

Then redirects to
hidden link

There is a -2 in the slug then redirects to the correct one

Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you

Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with first debugging steps or if I can perhaps help with the issue quickly.

Usually, when there's a "-2" at the end of a given URL, it's because there's an identical URL that was created before (even if it's in the trash bin). Please check if you have created priducts with the same name before. You can also check this ticket, where the another user had a similar issue:

If that does not help, one of my colleagues will take on this ticket soon.
