Hello soniavargas7,

One more question , if I buy the PRO version, will I be able to define the hreflangs only one time? In a single network defined as the master?

Yes, using the sync feature. Note that in the new plugin releases the “Master” site has been renamed to the “Controller” site. Ref: https://daext.com/doc/hreflang-manager-pro/#sync

And If for example, a new product is added to my site, do I need to add the hreflang manually?

Yes, the connection for the new product should be added in the “Controller” site.

Please note that threads on the Pro version of plugins are not allowed in the forum. I have to ask you to contact us with the methods described here for further Pro version related questions.

Hello cargoinsureonline,

1.

You can use a “geographical redirect wordpress plugin”. There are many options both free and paid.

Note that a common alternative to using redirects for this purpose is to use a language/country selector (in the page or in a modal window).

2.

Yes. Browser based checkers like this one, online “hreflang checker”, or popular SEO tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, etc.

3.

Adding/Updating the connections is enough.

Hello soniavargas7,

I confirm that to achieve link-back compliance hreflang should be added to the alternate pages on all sites of the network. With the Hreflang Manager plugin in the context of a WordPress Network/Multisite installation this means adding the connections in each sub-site.

Not adding hreflang to the alternate pages on all sites of the network will result in the “Missing reciprocal hreflang (no return-tag)” error reported by search engines and hreflang checkers.

Hello cargoinsureonline,

Thank you for all the details.

Can you please guide us on how we need to set the plug-in properly to have the /ch or /in when we open the link based on the visitor country

The plugin adds hreflang tags in the page head section. To list the added tags you can enable the dedicated Options -> General -> Show Log option or inspect the page HTML. The linked page currently has tags for en, en-ch, and en-in. If there are addition language/geographical target you may have to added them from the plugin back-end ui.

I am based Switzerland, I shall see the URL /ch on my side), but we do not see any country code listed in our URL (on live version)

Note that adding hreflang tags have no effect in terms of site behavior. It’s a directive used only for search engines. Search engine may take weeks to update the results based on the hreflang directive.

Hello jrogowy,

Could you please post a screenshot with the settings configured in the Sorting section of the table and indicate the ID of the table so it can be identified in the linked page. Thank you.

Hello mihannsell,

The plugin replaces keywords with links.

E.g. with the keyword “book”.

Before:

A book.

After:

A <a data-autolink-id="1" target="_self" >book</a>.

Note that you can’t control the generated HTML without modifying the plugin.

Thank you for the update. Note that the CSS file with the custom styles is generated only when the plugin options are saved. Consequently, it is not necessary to exclude specific selector or files from caching. It’s enough to delete the cache after changing the style and saving the options.

Hello mihannsell,

1. Configure the automatic links from the Autolinks -> Autolinks menu.
2. Visit the Autolinks -> Dashboard menu and click Update metrics.
3. The number of automatic links is displayed in the Automatic Links column of the Autolinks -> Dashboard menu.

If you need further help creating automatic links please include information on the used keyword and a link to a page that includes the keyword occurrences.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for the update. I confirm that the activations using the Calypso?interface of WordPress.com and activations via WP CLI are not supported right now due to an incorrect conditional used in the plugin activation logic.

This problem will be addressed with the plugin update mentioned above.

Hello Mark,

If there are no existing data I recommend deactivating and deleting the plugin. Then install and activate the plugin from the Plugins menu using the standard WordPress back-end UI.

Please make sure that the default options are like in the two screenshot above. Please also verify that the logged user own the capability specified with the Restrictions Menu Capability option.

Hello Mark,

Could you please confirm that your are experiencing the problem on a wordpress.com site?

This week will be published a revised plugin activation which will allow the activation with the Calypso interface of WordPress.com. Right now the plugin is not activated correctly on wordpress.com sites.

Note that if you are on a wordpress.com site you can solve with this procedure:

1. Visit Installed Plugins
2. Click Deactivate and then Activate below the Restricted Blocks plugin in the list

In addition, make sure that all the options are initialized correctly (the Restrictions Menu Capability option is not allowing you to access the Restrictions menu):

Hello Christian,

In a similar scenario is usually configured only the language (for both the Danish and English site), with script and locale set to “Not assigned”.

Please note that while we are expert on our plugins, for questions that are strictly SEO questions my recommendation is to follow the advice provided by SEO specialists.

Hello ohsnaprs,

I replied to the email we receive today from your address since you are a user of the Pro version. Please continue on that email thread for technical support. Thank you.

Hello autori76,

Could you provide a public URL? Because we have the plugin installed on our own site and a few other sites but we can’t see this message in Google Search Console.

So I can then verify your URL with ChromeDevtools to have a more precise idea of the problem.

Hello ilwoody,

The correct class used as a trigger for the revisit consent functionalities is:

daextlwcnf-revisit-consent-trigger

Example:

<button class="daextlwcnf-revisit-consent-trigger">Revisit Consent</button>

Note: Thank you for reporting this. There was an error (now fixed) in the examples provided in the plugin documentation.
