Problem to get multilingual posts indexed on Google
-
Last year on June I decided to make my site multi-lingual.
The domain is:
https://www.dailyblogprofits.com/
The main language English and I added Portuguese and a few posts on Spanish.
What happened since then?
I started losing traffic from Google and posts on Portuguese are not being indexed.
I use WPML plugin to make it multi-lingual and I had Yoast installed.
This week I uninstalled Yoast and when I type on google "site:site:dailyblogprofits.com/pt-br" I started seeing Google indexing images, but still not the missing posts.
I have around 145 posts on Portuguese, but on Search Console it show only 57 hreflang tags.
Any idea what is the problem?
I'm willing to pay for an SEO Expert to resolve this problem to me.

I don't know what happened with my previous response, but I'll reply again.
I have disabled Yoast SEO plugin and suddenly dozens of pages with images attachment started appearing on google when I type my site name.
But the original posts still are not being indexed.
Today I installed a WordPress plugin to redirect these image posts to the original post and I hope to have the problem solved in the next days.
Unless that Google is so evil or if there's another weird problem in my site.
Google Search Console is also showing hundreds of extra pages being indexed as follows in the image.

Sometimes it can take time for Google to index new content. I typed "site:dailyblogprofits.com/pt-br" on Google and now I can see 63 results in Portuguese. So in the last 4 hours, since your comment so far, Google has indexed 6 more pages. I think you just have to wait and wait.
