Favicon using wordpress


I am trying to change favicon in wordpress. For which i have uploaded image in media and in theme customisation, under site identity i used that image as a favicon.

Which is displaying in my admin panel but not in website browser. I tried to inspect it, so it is showing me below line but not coming image name in href

<link rel="icon" href="" type="image/x-icon">

So for that i need to change my each php file's head with appropriate code that is

<link rel="icon" href="http://my_url/image" sizes="32x32" />

but my question is, is there anyway where i can directly change it without going to all the pages' header in wordpress.

I also tried clearing cache and all the other solution, but not working.


Solution

  • If your wordpress version is 4.2+, just add wp_head() in your header.php between <head> tags:

    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    

    You should be able to change the favicon from Administration Screen > Appearance > Customize now.

    Function reference: wp_head()
