Changing your favicon in WordPress is a simple process that enhances your site’s branding.
Here’s how:
1. Log into your WordPress Dashboard: Access it by adding /wp-admin to your website’s URL.
2. Navigate to Appearance: On the left-hand menu, click on “Appearance,” then select “Customize.” This will take you to the WordPress Customizer.
3. Access Site Identity: Within the Customizer, find and click on “Site Identity.” Here, you’ll see options to change your site title, tagline, and favicon (referred to as Site Icon).
4. Upload Your Favicon: Click on the “Select Site Icon” option. You’ll then be prompted to upload an image from your computer or select one from your media library. Your favicon should ideally be a 512 x 512 pixels square image for the best result.
5. Crop and Publish: After uploading, you might need to crop the image. Once done, click “Crop Image.” Finish by clicking the “Publish” button at the top of the Customizer to save your changes.
Now, your website will display your new favicon in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile home screen icons.
