• When moving the WordPress installation using Duplicator (or any other plugin) these plugins replace the path to the installation with a new path.

    For Example:
    Old Path: https://abc.old-domain.com/mywordpress/
    New Path: https://new-domain.com/

    These paths are stored in
    SELECT option_value FROM 'wp_options' WHERE option_name = 'siteurl'

    When I transfer the installation, the Favicon checker says:

    Cannot find https://new-domain.com/mywordpress/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png

    The correct URL should be https://new-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png

    Unfortunately Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator stores parts of the path in
    SELECT * FROM 'wp_options' WHERE option_name = 'fbrfg_html_code'

    There it says for example:
    <link rel=”apple-touch-icon” sizes=”180×180″ href=”/mywordpress/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png”>

    It would be great if the plugin only stores “/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png” as href and reads the rest from option_name = ‘siteurl’ so that there are no problems when moving installations that are in a folder aboth the domain.

    Otherwise it would be great if the whole path is stored in option_name = ‘fbrfg_html_code’ so that Duplicator can replace it during DB migration.
