Hello
I have an Arabic website haloinsight.com
I noticed google recommends adding hreflang to improve SEO

how can I implement this in the theme?

I want it to target this langauge ar-sa

I am using a childtheme

regards

Hi Hilal,

To do that, you can add the code below in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function my_custom_head_output() {
  ?>
    <link rel="alternate" hreflang="ar-sa" href="http://haloinsight.com" />
  <?php
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_custom_head_output', 99999 );

Hope that helps.

hi there,

i have applied the hreflang=”en” to my child theme functions.php file. when i check the search console it still says that my site has no hreflang tags. does search console take time till it updates?

and to what exactly does the “99999” refer to in the code?

thanks for your support!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back, I’ve tried to login, but I get an invalid password error, could you double check the provided details please?

Also if you could supply FTP details in addition to the WP login details.

Hi there,

Thanks for the details.

I have tried to login to your admin section but the password still isn’t working. Kindly check it again. Also, would you mind temporarily switching the language of your admin section to English so that it would be easier for us to check?

As for the FTP details, please provide us with the host name.

Cornerstone 1.0.9 was just released which should address the issue you have mentioned. Kindly do an update to the latest version.

Let us know how it goes.

[indiavidualParticipant]

cornerstone now works with the new update to 1.0.9 thanks

my admin section and the whole site setup is in English (US). not sure what site you are getting.

also did i change the PW for it again. will send a private message with it + the host name

thanks
