Favicon web logo
-
edit: take a look at my answer below for a better solution
Hey, right now there's no favicon option.
But you can upload a file called "favicon.ico" via ftp to the directory of your wordpress install. Browsers automatically look for the file http://www.yourwebsite.com/favicon.ico and then browsers use that file as the favicon. -
Can you visit your ftp? They may have a webftp or you could use filezilla. Then there should be a directory with the name of your website.
If you can't find it, you can also wait until the next little update. Then I will include a favicon option. -
Hey, I just got a better idea! You can use this WordPress Plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/favhero-favicon-generator/That's probably the best solution. Because it supports favicons for many different devices and sizes! :+1:

Hey!
With the latest wordpress and lay theme version you don't need a plugin anymore. You can set your favicon like this:
Go to "Customize" -> "Site Title" -> "Site Icon"! -
@arminunruh how can I clear the favicon from my cache?
I've deleted it, but it still shows up in my browser... -
Browsers tend to take a long time to update favicons even if you delete your cache.
-
For cross browser compatibility, seems to be needed two lines for for favicon:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
