Hi there,
does your theme call wp_head()?
Kind regards,

Thanks for your response, Thorsten. Yes, the theme does call wp_head()

Sorry, I have worked out the issue. I was expecting the hreflang meta to show as soon as the plugin was activated, but I see that you have to manually associate posts first. Having over 300 posts, I was hoping to avoid manual work!

For anyone interested, here’s how I did it in the end.
In functions.php,
function my_hreflang_tags() {
/*
* Add hreflang tags to head
*/
// Get the permalink
$the_old_link = get_permalink();
// Create 2 localized versions of the permalink for use in the hreflang tag
$the_new_link_gb = str_replace( '/gb', '/us', $the_old_link );
$the_new_link_us = str_replace( '/us', '/gb', $the_old_link );
// Print it out
echo '<!-- Hreflang tags -->';
echo '<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-US" href="' . $the_new_link_us . '">';
echo '<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="' . $the_new_link_gb . '">';
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_hreflang_tags', 1 );
