This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are trying to set up hreflang tags for your organization's websites to direct users to the appropriate regional site. You have a main site and two regional sites, and you want users in specific regions to see the corresponding regional site. However, the current hreflang tags do not direct users to the correct regional sites as intended.
Solution:
We recommend understanding that WPML includes a redirect option based on the detected browser language, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/. However, hreflang tags only inform search engines which regional version to display and do not redirect users. WPML automatically sets hreflang tags for each language according to the configured language codes. If you need automatic redirects by region, you will need a separate geolocation plugin. You can find compatible third-party plugins here: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/geotargeting/.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
