    Hi, I have the following hreflang errors with Polylang on thousands of pages on my website:

    • Missing reciprocal hreflang (no return-tag)
    • Self-reference hreflang annotation missing
    • Hreflang to non-canonical
    • X-default hreflang annotation missing

    Links crawled and errors signaled by ahrefs site audit.
    Also found by semrush website audit, but on a lower number of pages, because their free version only crawls 100 URLs.
    Also identified by Website auditor v4.49.7

    I made sure WordPress, theme, Polylang, and all other plugins are the latest versions.
    I didn’t find an answer on the forum, but several have reported the same issue and nobody answered.
    I deactivated other plugins and switched to the default WordPress theme. Problem persisted.
