FAQ about Dashboard Page:
What is the App Embed Block, and why is it important?
The App Embed Block is a Shopify feature that allows the Hreflang Manager app to insert the necessary hreflang tags into your store’s theme without manual code edits. If it’s not enabled, the hreflang tags will not be added to your site, which means search engines may not correctly recognize your localized store versions.
Why does my App Embed Block status show “Action Required”?
"Action Required" means that in at least one of your connected stores, the App Embed Block for the Hreflang Manager app is disabled. This prevents the app from adding hreflang tags to that store.
How can I enable the App Embed Block for a store?
- In the App Embed Block Status section, click “Go to customize” for the store you want to update.
- You will be taken to Shopify’s Theme Editor.
- In the left-hand sidebar, click "App embeds".
- Find Hreflang Manager and toggle it ON.
- Click “Save” in the top-right corner.
- Return to the Hreflang Manager Dashboard and click “Refresh status” to confirm it’s active.
How do I change my main store?
- In the Status on Stores section, find the secondary store you want to make the main one.
- Click “Claim the main store”.
- Confirm your choice.
- After this change, all secondary stores will be linked to the new main store for hreflang synchronization.
What happens if I disconnect a store?
After disconnecting the store from the app, it will no longer be linked to your Hreflang Manager setup. Meaning that, hreflang tags linking that store to others will be removed. You can reconnect it later, but you’ll need to repeat the setup steps for it.
Why is my setup progress bar not at 100% even after installation?
The setup progress bar shows the completion status of all installation steps. If it’s not at 100%, at least one step is incomplete.
To check and complete missing steps:- Go to the Setup Guide section on the Dashboard.
- Look for any step without a checkmark.
- Expand the step to see what’s missing.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it.
- Once all steps are checked, the bar will show 100%.
