Hi there.
I am using GP premium 2.5.0 on WP 6.6.2
I hope you can help with this:I have a multilingual site, using Polylang.
I first set Polylang to show the language extension (/en/) for the default language. Polylang made nice hreflang tags in the header: one for each language plus <link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”x-default” href=”https://sitename.com/en/” />.But with a homepage extension /en/home-page, I had trouble with the canonical version. So I set Polylang to “Hide URL language information for default language “. Great, a root home page address, no canonical conflict.
But while Polylang still sets the hreflang for each language, it no longer sets the hreflang x-default. So I made a wp_head hook to display the x-default tag on the front page and the other language home pages.
But this hook doesn’t work, nothing is shown in the page head.
Do you have an idea why?

Hi there,
I don’t believe this is theme-related and unfamiliar with Polylang.
Have you tried contacting Polylang’s support team?
-
You think Polylang may be blocking the hook?
I’ll try them.
Thanks Leo

Mmmmmm, Polylang only answer questions on their Pro model, which is pricy.
I guess I’ll keep searching. -
Wow, I finally found something that works! Just in case you are interested:
Put this snippet:
add_filter( ‘pll_rel_hreflang_attributes’, function( $hreflangs ) {
$hreflangs[‘x-default’] = $hreflangs[‘en’];
return $hreflangs;
} );It adds hreflang x-default to all pages, cool.
