Beskrywing
Custom Favicon lets you upload and manage favicons for your WordPress website, admin area, and login screen using the native media uploader. Unlike the built-in Site Icon feature, this plugin gives you full control — including support for separate frontend and backend icons, Apple touch icons, dark mode icons, and SVG format.
Features include:
– Upload custom favicon for frontend (browser tab icon)
– Upload separate favicon for WordPress Dashboard and login page
– Upload Apple touch icons for iOS devices
– Upload dark mode specific favicon
– SVG favicon support
– Option to disable default WordPress Site Icon output
– Clean and simple settings page under Settings Custom Favicon
This plugin is useful for:
– Replacing the default WordPress favicon
– Branding the WordPress dashboard for clients
– Adding modern favicon features with minimal setup

Kwel-vrae
-
Will this override the default WordPress Site Icon?
-
Yes. When enabled, the plugin replaces WordPress’s default favicon and Apple icon output.
-
Can I use SVG files?
-
Yes. Modern browsers support SVG favicons. If your theme doesn’t allow SVG uploads, you may need to enable that manually.
-
Does this support light/dark mode favicons?
-
Yes. You can upload separate favicons for light and dark appearance modes using the
prefers-color-schememedia query. -
Can editors access the settings page?
-
By default, only Administrators (with the
manage_optionscapability) can access the settings page.
Developers can override this using thecustom_favicon_capabilityfilter. For example, to allow Editors:
`php
add_filter( ‘custom_favicon_capability’, function () {
return ‘edit_theme_options’;
} ); -
Where can I get help?
