Favicon for WordPress: 3 reliable methods

WordPress can set a Site Icon via the admin UI, but for best cross-platform coverage you may want to add a full favicon set in <head>.

Method 1: Site Icon in WP

  • Go to Appearance → Customize → Site Identity → Site Icon.
  • Upload a square image (512×512 recommended).

Method 2: Full set via <head>

  • Generate a ZIP set with Favicon.kz.
  • Upload the icons to your hosting (e.g., /icons/).
  • Paste the provided <head> snippet (via theme/child theme or a header injection plugin).
SVG helps
An SVG favicon stays crisp on Retina displays and scales cleanly.
