No Favicon when in admin backend

Maybe it is just cache?
Favicons are very hard-cached. You could try to fully empty the cache in Chrome (chrome://settings/clearBrowserData), and try again?

I am not sure what you mean by the icon link
Favicons typically do not produce a link, but rather appear in the Browser Tabs, and only are present in the HTML head. So possibly you mean something else than the favicon?
Did you mean the link rel="icon" tag?

Hello Beda,

Thanks for your reply. I tried the cache, but that didn’t work.
Yes, with the icon I mean the favicon tag in the header. In the frontend it shows those tags.

<link rel="icon" href="https://www.---.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cropped-favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32" />
<link rel="icon" href="https://www.---.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cropped-favicon-340x340.png" sizes="192x192" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://www.---.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cropped-favicon-340x340.png" />

But when I search for it in the backend source, it doesn’t show any of them.

Thanks!

Have you made sure that both the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) in the Settings > General are both using the proper protocol and address?

Also, do you actually see the source HTML when on another browser, or do you just see the favicon in the tab? If the latter is the case, then that is just a cached favicon the browser accidentally displays, and the real problem would be that the HTML is not added, in any case.

In that case it might be an option to place the favicons into the install root folder, instead of using the Customizer option. that would be the first thing I would try, actually, as I never use the Customizer option but rather place the favicon set into the install root.

There are a few steps you can take to try and resolve this issue:

1. First, ensure that you have correctly uploaded the favicon to your WordPress site and that it is accessible at the URL specified in the Site Identity settings. You can verify this by visiting the URL of your favicon in a web browser.

2. Next, try clearing your browser cache and cookies. This can often fix issues with favicons not displaying correctly.

3. Additionally, make sure that your theme is properly including the favicon in the head section of the HTML code. You can check this by viewing the source code of your website in your browser and searching for the favicon link. If it is not present, you may need to add it manually by editing your theme’s header.php file.

4. If you are using a caching plugin, try clearing the cache to see if that resolves the issue.

5. Finally, if none of the above steps help, you may need to disable any plugins that you are using and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, you can try re-enabling your plugins one by one to determine which plugin is causing the issue.

I hope these suggestions help! If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hi,

I placed the favicon.ico file in the root fold and also in the wp-admin folder. Cleared the cache and nothing happened.
I installed a plugin that can insert code into the header, it worked for the fronted but it didn’t insert it in the backed header.
When I check the code there is still no favicon tag in the backend. I have 3 different WP pages with 3 different themes and all have the same issue.

Is there a plugin that can insert code into the header of the admin page?

Thanks!
