In case you haven’t read “HOW TO PUT A CUSTOM MENU TO OUR MOBILEPRESS,” you can still do before proceeding.
I know many people who own a blog, forum or a website still don’t know how to make a favicon appear on their address bar. Favicon are does little pictures (image) that appears at the left corner of your address bar.
WHAT IS FAVICON? Favicon or favorite icon is a file containing one or more small icons, which are commonly 16×16 pixels that are associated with a particular website or webpage.
Creating our favorite icon is not hard if you follow this footstep closely. Get the logo or image you would like to use as your favorite icon, you can use any photo editor that accept .ico format to create the icon.
NOTE: Make sure the size of the image is 16×16 pixels…
There are two effective ways in which you can put your favicon.ico file to your wordpress blog/site.
- Either by coding
- Direct implementation
1. USING CODING: This method is a bit tricky but at the same time it is very easy to go with.
Go to your wordpress admin area >>> in the Appearance setting click “Edit”. We are going to be editing the HEADER (header.php) located at the right corner.
Hope you have clicked the header? Now in the codes shown locate the tag <head>, right below it place this code
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://YOURSITE/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
So it will look like:
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://YOURSITE/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
NOTE: Make sure that you replace the http:// YOURSITE/favicon.ico with your favicon path.
Also note that the favicon.ico size must be 16×16 pix for it to show on both pc and mobile phones.
2. DIRECT IMPLEMENTATION: this is the easiest step because it needs no coding to work with.
Make a 16×16 pixel favicon.ico and upload it to your root directory, refresh your browser cache and see your small icon showing.
Now how simple is that?
