Looking to add a favicon to you site?
Inside your WordPress theme’s functions file (functions.php) add the following to inside your PHP code.
/**
* FAVICON
* @WPCult.com
*/function my_favicon() { ?>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo bloginfo("stylesheet_directory") ?>'/images/favicon.ico" />
<?php }
add_action('wp_head', 'my_favicon'); That’s it, just be sure to upload an icon image or a .gif/.png. Be sure to correct the target location id the file is located somewhere else.
