      Hei,
      i am experiencing a strange new favicon on my website, since i updated worpress to v5.4. I like having no favicon at all, like it is predefined.
      Do you have any suggestions how to get rid of it?

      Thanks
      Sebastian

        Oh, it seems to be related to this:
        https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/02/19/enhancements-to-favicon-handling-in-wordpress-5-4/

        "As of WordPress 5.4, theme and plugin authors can manage favicon requests much more flexibly, with the following logic:

        • If there is a Site Icon set in Customizer, redirect /favicon.ico requests to that icon.
        • Otherwise, use the WordPress logo as a default icon.
        • If a physical /favicon.ico file exists, do nothing and let the server handle the request.
          [...]

        Deprecations
        wp_favicon_request() is now deprecated in favor of do_favicon()."

          Yea I wish I could just disable this but I can't see from the documentation on how I would go about doing that.

          You can set your own new favicon in "Customize" -> "Favicon"

                    Before you post

                    Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

                    1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
                    2. Disable all Plugins
                    3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
                    4. Now see if your problem solved itself
                    5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
                    Troubleshooting

                    When you post:
                    1. Post a link to where the problem is
                    2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

                    Thanks!
