Hreflang tags are used to indicate to search engines the language and location of a webpage. You can add hreflang tags to specific pages in WordPress without using a plugin by following these steps:
- Identify the pages that you want to add hreflang tags to. You can do this by checking the URL of the pages or by inspecting the HTML source code.
- Determine the language and location of each page. You can use the
<html>element’slangattribute to indicate the language of the page, and thehreflangattribute to indicate the location of the page. For example:
<html lang="en-US" hreflang="en-US">
- Add the hreflang tags to the head section of the pages. You can do this by using the
wp_headaction hook:
function add_hreflang_tags() {
if ( is_page( 'page-slug' ) ) {
printf(
'',
esc_url( get_permalink() )
);
}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'add_hreflang_tags' );
This code will add an hreflang tag to the head section of the page with the slug “page-slug”. You can customize the code to add hreflang tags to multiple pages by using the is_page() function or by checking the $post global variable.
