Favicons are small icons essential for website branding and identification in browsers. This guide outlines three methods to add/change a favicon in WordPress:
- WordPress Settings: Easy, no plugins needed; however, customization is limited.
- FTP Upload: Offers control but requires technical knowledge.
- cPanel: Direct control via hosting account; also requires access.
Common issues such as favicons not appearing or being blurry can often be fixed by clearing caches or using high-resolution images. Best practices include using simple designs, transparent backgrounds, and appropriate formats (.ico or .png). Key features of favicons encompass enhancing brand recognition and user experience. Jetpack can further streamline WordPress management with added security and performance tools.
