Hi,

I am trying to tweak the favicon on my site http://www.depthofemotion.com
For some reason there appears to be a <link rel="icon"> tag in the header. I am fairly sure I haven’t edited the theme directly and I would have thought if I had that updating (as I have this evening) would undo that change.

I will be using the standard site icons in the customizer once I figure our where these link tags are coming from?

Can anyone with more knowledge about wordpress tell me where I am likely to find this? The only place i remember altering a header directly is in my previous theme (which wasn’t a problem as the favicon was the same when I moved to X).

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! I have checked your site and I saw the link icon tag which is in charge in adding a favicon in your site. You can set this in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Site Icons. You can change or insert a custom favicon in this section of the customizer.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for you reply. I had already check this however I did manage to get to the bottom of it.

It seems that my previous theme had somehow set the favicon in a strange way that persisted after the theme was disabled. I had to re-enable my old theme and go into the customiser and remove all the old icons and then re-activate X.

So in case it helps anyone else and you have customisations not applying properly, its worth checking if an option in your previous theme is persisting.

Glad you’ve sorted it out.
