Hi, Thank you for contacting the support. Reference to previous ticket (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/indexing-issue-due-to-wrong-default-language/), I believe you'd have checked your sitemap in Google Search Console, as advised by my colleague (see the big yellow box on the previous ticket for details). Can you please provide some more details and the sitemap you checked? I'll also suggest that if you can deactivate all other plugins, except WPML and Rank Math and generate a sitemap. Then check in the search console. Also provide this sitemap for a comparison. IMPORTANT: Take full backup of your website and database beforehand. It is highly advised to try the above mentioned on a staging/dev site first, so your live website isn't compromised. Please let me know and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter. Regards. |

Hi Pietro, Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue. I check some page URLs with Google search and understand your issue. Let me analyze the issue on my end: - From the WPML side, we cannot tell the search engine to index or not index a page. It depends on the bot and SEO plugin. I suggest you try: 1. Enable a minimal environment as below then check if the hreflang is available: 2. After that, re-submit the sitemap to Google Search Console (GSC) to request GSC to recrawl your site. Refer to the documentation Look forward to your reply. |

Hi Long and thank you for taking your time to look deeper into the issue. << - According to your last screenshot, I see the indexing was made on September/October 2023 which might be old URLs. We can understand that because the parameter "?1859" is not available on the page hidden link - I don't see the hreflang tag available on your site. In a previous support, your collegue asked me to change the settings of the SEO option to "unchecked" see attached image, is this correct? Thak your for yor time |

Hi, what is the "parameter"? It's the number after the question mark in the URL "?1859" as in your screenshot. is this good or bad? I think it isn't good. According to the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/support/adding-hreflang-wordpress/#when-use-hreflang Is this setting related to the hreflang tag? Yes. You can go to WPML > Languages > Check option "Display alternative languages in the HEAD section." to enable hreflang on your site. Thanks. |

Thabnk you but your collegue asked me to UNCHECK the "Display alternative languages in the HEAD section." |

this was suggestedf because we are having aìonly the english pages indexed (mostly) that's why your collegue suggested this. Pages that have those numerical parameters at the end are included in the sitemap? can you confirm? in this case is RankMath adding them or is WPML? one question, why I can't see all previos support messages? |

Hi, So I should re enable it? Yes, I suggest enabling that option to have hreflang on your site and re-submit the sitemap to GSC. Pages that have those numerical parameters at the end are included in the sitemap? No, I don't see the URL with that parameter in the sitemap. Please check screenshot attached. Why I can't see all previous support messages? Do you mean the chat message? That ticket is not available on the support forum. You can check in your mailbox. There should be a transcript email of the chat support session sent to your address. Look forward to your reply. |

Ok, then I will re_enable it, can you suggest which of the two option choose? (see screenshot). Could you also explain the meaning of the 1/1 that you are pointing with an arrow? 🙂 Btw, I found the support that your collegue was referring suggesting to disable the SEO option, you can see it here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/google-site-indexing-done-in-english-when-default-language-is-french/#post-12636439 and this is the text (reply ##12647505: Thank you |

Hi, can you suggest which of the two option choose? Please select the first one "As early as possible". should I re-submit the sitemap using RankMath Yes, you can use the sitemap of RankMath and submit it to GSC. Could you also explain the meaning of the 1/1 that you are pointing with an arrow? That means I only see one URL hidden link and there is no parameter "?1859" in your current sitemap. That's why I think the URL with the parameter in your screenshot is an old URL. Btw, I found the support that your collegue was referring suggesting to disable the SEO option According to the ticket content, I don't see my colleague suggested disabling that option. It's a workaround/trying step of the user on their site. Thanks. |

Hi, Yes, I don't see any redirection of those pages (URLs). For example: I'm using a redirect checker tool to check the redirection of this page but don't see that hidden link I suggest you contact GSC support and ask them why they see your URL is redirected but we don't see that from our end and with a third-party tool. Look forward to your reply. |
