olgaB-3	Tell us what you are trying to do? Found an error at ahref.com Missing reciprocal hreflang (no return-tag) in Ahref Site Audit See attached. How can I fix it? Is there any documentation that you are following? Read your documentation on this page: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/adding-hreflang-wordpress/#troubleshooting Please check my hreflang settings ( see attached). Now, I am thinking to change it to en-CA, fr-CA because we are in Canada. Please let me know if I can make this change manually directly in the settings. What is the link to your site? hidden link

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML support! I opened hidden link and checked the source code, this is what I find there: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" /><link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-fr" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" /> And If I open hidden link I also find this: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" /><link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-fr" href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" / According to this: hidden link. hidden link would that not mean that they in fact have reciprocal hreflang and that Ahref Site Audit is giving incorrect results? I am also puzzled by results as shown https://wpml.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/8011137-hreflang.png, is it not showing correct but then incorrect results for the same url? Regards, Bruno Kos

olgaB-3	Hi Bruno, I first, contacted my AIOSEO plugin support and they had the same reaction: Ahref Site Audit is giving incorrect results! I needed a second opinion on that matter, and I appreciate your time and support. Thanks for looking into it. At this moment, I am going to address this issue with the Ahref support. Thank you, Olga
