Hi,

I am having some issues with my Favicon. I tried putting in a new link in the Site Icons tab under Customizer and it won’t change. The file is a PNG 64×64.

Is there any reason why it’s not changing?

Thanks.

Hi There,

I can see that you do have W3 Total Cache plugin. Please clear/purge cache. Your site needs to generate cache for the updated content.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

I have already tried clearing the cache.

Thanks.

Hello There,

Tha favicons you have set in X were overridden by the WordPress 4.7 customizer’s favicon settings. I can confirm that this needs to be address in X since this feature only comes in WordPress 4.7. Temporarily, you can resolve this. But before that what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would like to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

After the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

// Override default WP4.3 site icon meta tags in favor of X site icons settings
// =============================================================================
function override_wp_favicon($icons){
  $icons = array();
  return $icons;
}
add_filter('site_icon_meta_tags', 'override_wp_favicon');
// =============================================================================

I already reported this to our developers. Meanwhile, please do my suggestion above so that favicon icon issues should be resolve in your site.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
