Change the favicon in your website

Hello everyone! This post will help you people to change the favicon of your website in WordPress.

Well, first of all I myself had no idea on what a favicon is, until a colleague of mine asked me to change it in his site.

Thanks to him, for letting me know a favicon and I figured out how to change one using WordPress.

For those who would like to know what a favicon is,

The Favicon is an icon associated with a URL that is variously displayed, as in a browser’s address bar or next to the site name in a bookmark list.

Now in the following image do you see the google icon magnified? Well that’s a favicon.

How to change favicon in your site?

Well the steps are going to be very simple because I’ll be using a plugin to change your favicon

The plugin that I preferred was “All In One Favicon” which I downloaded from the following site: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-favicon/

1. Download the plugin which is in a zipped format.
2. Upload the plugin in WordPress.

• Go to Plugin(left side bar) and select Add new
• Search for “All In One Favicon” plugin
• Select the plugin and click “Install now”
• A pop-up window would appear. Confirm the installation
• Click Proceed
• Once installed ,select “Activate Plugin”

3. Now select Settings of the “All In One Favicon”
4. Upload your icon image(I tried an image of size 32×32) in “ICO Frontend” textbox.
5. Save Changes

Refresh your site and check out your favicon. Cheers!
