How to make a phavicon for a site on WordPress
Create a favicon for your WordPress website with this easy step-by-step guide, including an example.
Creating a Favicon for a WordPress Site
A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is an icon associated with a website or web page. It is typically a small image that appears in the browser address bar, browser tab, or bookmarks list. Favicons provide a visual indicator for users, making it easier to identify and navigate to a website. Creating a favicon for a WordPress site is a simple process.
The first step is to create a graphic that will serve as the favicon. The image should be 16x16 pixels in size and can be in any common image format such as JPEG, GIF, or PNG. If you don’t have an image editor, you can use a free online tool such as Favicon.cc to create a favicon from an image or text.
Once you have created the image, you will need to upload it to your WordPress site. You can do this by navigating to Appearance > Customize > Site Identity in the WordPress dashboard. Then, click the “Select File” button under the “Site Icon” section and upload the image you created. Once the image is uploaded, it will be used as the site’s favicon.
If you want to add the favicon to your site’s root directory, you can do so by FTP or by using a file manager plugin such as WP File Manager. Once you’ve uploaded the image to the root directory, you’ll need to add the following code to the <head>
index.php
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />This will ensure that the favicon is displayed in the browser’s address bar, tab, and bookmarks list. You can also add the following code to your site’s header.php
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />And that’s it! You’ve just created a favicon for your WordPress site. Keep in mind that it may take some time for the favicon to appear in the browser’s address bar, tab, and bookmarks list, so be patient.
