In 2010, I made my first WordPress website.

In 2014, I started a WordPress theme business called Compete Themes. I’ve since designed and developed 19 WordPress themes that have been downloaded more than 1.5+ million times. As a WordPress user, developer, and business owner, I can tell you that I know this platform inside-and-out.

Now I'm teaching everything I know.

I'm on a mission to answer all of the web's WordPress questions, and with the lessons in my videos, you'll skip hours of frustration and instead learn how to use WordPress in a way that is both simple and enjoyable.

About this Video
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Favicons are the little images that display on the left side of browser tabs. I'm sure you're used to seeing these and excited to add your own.

As of version 4.3, you can now add favicons to WordPress without installing any new plugins. The option is available in the Site Identity section in the Live Customizer. WordPress calls it a "Site Icon" instead of a favicon.

When adding a favicon to your WordPress website, make sure you're uploading a transparent PNG image that is 512x512px. The image needs to be so big because it's also shown in bookmarks and mobile apps where it's sometimes displayed much larger.

If your favicon doesn't show up right away, try clearing your site's cache (if you're using a caching plugin), and then clear your browser's cache too. These updates will ensure that your favicon is displaying for you and your visitors correctly.
