I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)
**Before we proceed I recommend taking FULL BACKUP of your database and your website.**
I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.
NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.
I have removed your debug information from your previous reply.
Please review the following URL's source code and notice the hreflang is showing as expected for both languages.
The reason you are not seeing it on your homepage is that it is the WordPress archive, the blog posts are being shown on your homepage but not assigned to an existing page, therefore it is expected for 'hreflang' to not show.
This is the way WordPress works and is not a bug with WPML, even without WPML you wouldn't see the hreflang in the archive.
If you instead create a page called "Blog", translate it and then go to WP->Reading->Assign a static page for homepage and a page for the blog then the hreflangs will show.
Please remove mentioned URL and screenshot. That's not required. I understood.
I did not received solution as expected what I feel a plugin should do instead expressing technical limitation, disappointed. Anways, Thanks for trying to help me.
Here's an alternative solution that I discovered. Thanks to dev Tom's theme: GeneratePress - Elements plugin, allow me to manually written hreflang code just for the Homepage as page rule.
For People passing by and facing the same issue, here is a piece of code you can put in your functions.php theme file to add hreflang tags on blog page :
/**
* Add Hreflang Link on Blog Page
* @hooks on wp_head
* @return string
* Author : Afterglow Web Agency
*/
function afg_hreflangOnBlog() {
if(!function_exists('icl_get_languages')) return;
if(is_home()) {
$defaultLanguage = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
$siteLanguages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=1&orderby=code');
foreach ($siteLanguages as $l) {
$code = $l['language_code'];
echo $code != $defaultLanguage ?
'<link rel="alternate" hreflang="'.$code.'" href="'.get_post_type_archive_link( 'post' ).'/'.$code.'/">'
:
'<link rel="alternate" hreflang="'.$code.'" href="'.get_post_type_archive_link( 'post' ).'">';
}
}
}
add_Action( 'wp_head', 'afg_hreflangOnBlog');
This code will automatically populate all the hreflang tags on default WordPress blog page. Regardless it is the front page or an inner page.
