Remove hreflang tag from specific pages

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to remove the hreflang tag from specific non-indexable pages, such as the privacy policy page.
Solution:
We recommend disabling hreflang tags for all pages and languages by going to WPML > Languages > SEO Options. Currently, it is not possible to remove hreflang tags from specific pages using WPML settings; this action would remove them from all pages. Instead, for non-indexable pages, we suggest marking them as no-index, which can be done with the Yoast SEO plugin.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. If so, we encourage you to open a new support ticket for personalized assistance. We also 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.

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Hello, By default in WPML, you can disable hreflang tags for all pages and languages in WPML > Languages > SEO Options. At the moment it is not possible to remove specific pages only, this would remove all of them using the option found within WPML->Languages. For these pages you could mark them as no-index which can be done with Yoast SEO for example.
