Hreflang Issues (Recriprocal, Self-reference, X-Default)

[Dapper_Webflow (Yvo)]

Having some troubles to fix the following:

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

The first thing I did was change the domain default from www to the https://domain.com

After that changed the Global canonical to the https://domain.com

The sitemap was updated and it is showing the right indexation: Sitemap

But the errors up top persist.
Can anyone help?

Hey @Dapper_Webflow welcome to the forum

On your site settings, on the General tab, you have a section called Localization. Add your href tag there (Language code)

Hey Yvo, check the tools configuration that you’re using to generate your hreflangs.

If I pick one of your pages like this one;

https://dapper.agency/services/growth-marketing-training

I can see these hreflangs;

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://www.dapper.agency">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="nl" href="https://nl.dapper.agency">

So whatever means you’re using to create them is still specifying the www.

Thanks for your reply
We’ve just changed that, and I couldn’t find any info on this anywhere, one less thing to go ahah.

The solution was based on @memetican post.

The alternate hreflangs that were pinpointed were on the custom code forcing the www.
After removing that and updating the base tag href it is all sorted:

Unfortunately we need to keep the www. because the 301 redirect is possible to revert but we needed to create a manual sitemap and we prefer to keep the www. onwards.

Thanks for all the help!
