Favicon.ico not showing up on child theme sites on MU network

    Hi all

    Certainly not the end of the world, but annoying. I can’t seem to get favicon icons to work on other sites of my WP Multisite network.

    As you do, I placed a favicon.ico in the main branch of the WP MU site.

    – network
    – MU main site with favicon
    – Child theme site 1 (different theme – blank favicon)
    – Child theme site 2 (child of main site – keeps the same favicon)

    Both child themes have a favicon sitting in their own respective main branch, but either they are not read (blank favicon) or it still keeps the one from the main MU site. Does someone know a fix to this iffy issue.

    Many thanks for your answers!!

    Anyone having the same issue above, I managed to resolve this one.

    Basically (in my case), in order to change the favicon for a site that uses the same theme, I have to change the favicon image URL in the functions.php.

    For the other site that uses a different theme (e.g. site B), I placed a renamed favicon in the same branch as the main theme (site A) and referenced it from within the header.php of site B.

    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/yoursite/favicon-site-b.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />

    Cheers
