Try this wordpress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/language-selector-related/
I just installed it minutes ago, so can’t confirm but looks like just what i need. (I have 2 blog, each with the same content but with different language and on different domain.)

I use Add Meta Tags plugin to fill in the hreflang entries per post. Since I use Yoast, I don’t use the description and title offered by Add Meta Tags, just their Full Meta Tags field for entering hreflang entries

Hi Ian,
No, sorry. It’s non trivial.

Hi jason,
Did you ever find a solution to this or do you know of any plugins that do it?
Thanks,
Ian

That’s a shame. I’m currently looking at a way of adding rel=”alternate using custom fields. Never coded wordpress before, nor am i a coder, so its a nice learning curve! Getting there though.

Any plans to re engineer the plugin so it works correctly?

Initially I thought you just needed one rel=”alternate” hreflang for the whole site. but in fact you need hreflang entries on each page, pointing to all the relevant pages for other languages. Compare the source for the following two pages (search for hreflang):
