Site Icon Matters....How to change the Site Icon?

So I accidentally came across something that I was trying to figure out the other day, that I felt would be very informative. Especially for new members that are not yet familiar with the system.

So a few days ago, I kept looking at the little picture in the tab bar and seeing that it was still on the default wordpress site icon. I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to change that picture but was unaware on how to word my question to ask on WA.

In my attempts to place in a header picture for the background, I started adding images in the customize section. As I did this, I went into the site identity column, added an image in the site icon and then noticed my little picture in the tab had changed. Voila, I finally figured out how to change the site icon in the google tab.

The basic formula:

Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Change Site Icon (Add Image) > Save/Publish

By changing the site icon, it will add another professional touch to your site.

I hope this review has been helpful and thanks for reading!!

Thank you. I see default Joomla favicons on the web even on professional sites.

I have done mine just today. But i wonder how would it help improve my site.

When visitors go to your site, they will no longer see the word-press icon. Too me, it just doesn't set off an unprofessional sense. I guess it doesn't necessarily improve your site other than in terms of appearance.

Thanks CT, now it's clear to me the importance of changing the icon.

Thanks Chris, I've wondered how to do that. I think they are called "favicons". Thanks so much for the formula.
