Multisite and favicons

    Hi All,

    I’m running 4.3. I know that a new “favicon” options was added that’s supposed to add a field under “Customizer” to choose a favicon, however on my multisite sites, no such option exists. I’ve checked site settings at a super admin level as well.

    I’ve manually added the required favicon lines to my header.php which refers to a single ico file at the root of the site.

    After running a link checker I noticed a broken link for every multisite, ex. https://www.site.com/subsite/favicon.ico. It appears that <?php wp_head();> is (now?) inserting an extra favicon line:

    <link rel=”shortcut icon” type=”image/x-icon” href=”https://www.site.com/subsite/favicon.ico&#8221; />

    This is obviously broken, because no such file exist at that location. I also can’t upload a file to that location because the /subsite/ bit is a virtual location.

    Is there any place to actually upload a favicon for multisite? I assume it’s checking that location because it assumes one should be there. Or, is there any way to stop each site from checking for a favicon?

    Bumping… Looking for an answer regarding multisite and favicons.

    WP 4.3 it is in the Customizer now. (aka Blavatars)

    With Customizer, you open the Site Identity tab edit Site Icon to override the default favicon.ico from the server.

    Voila, Chuck Norris on yer home screen/browser tabs.

    Thanks David. For some reason I’m not seeing the “Site Identity” tab in Customizer, but that might be due to my theme. That’s all right since I can add it manually.

    That extra broken favicon call per multisite that was coming up ended up being from my parent theme, so I’ll fix that today.
