First of all, What is a Favicon? Favicon is actually a word combined from Favorite and Icon as “Fav Icon”. Basic Purpose to use is that it distinct your site to Others in the Favorites / Bookmark list of the Browser with the Icon/Image you use.
But now, people don’t actually use Favicon for this purpose but to show a little more of the Professionalism. Favicon makes your Website look more Professional and Sophisticated.
Enough of talking, let’s see How We can add a Favicon to a WordPress Blog.
- First you should have an Image in your PC you want to use.
- Now go to FavIcon from Pics and follow the instructions there to create a favicon.ico image file.
- Now download the generated .Zip file to your PC and unzip it.
- Upload the unzipped file to your theme folder. Probably public_html/wp-content/themes/theme-name (theme-name is your Theme Folder Name)
- Login to your WordPress Admin Panel. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor and Select Header.php
- Insert this code in your header.php file. Make sure you insert it between <head>..</head> tags.
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/favicon.ico” />
