How Do I Add My Favicon/Logo on WordPress?

Every website needs to have their own branding and logo to distinguish them from the competition! With WordPress, it’s as easy as 1-2-3!

What is a Favicon?

It is the small icon to the left of the title of your tab on a website. As you can see the Favicon for SacksonWeb is a simple, yellow computer monitor. You can see that Google’s Favicon is their classic “G” logo.

How to Add a Favicon/Logo

From the home page on WordPress, you will find an option called appearance on the left sidebar. Once you click that, a submenu will appear. Select customize. You should see the following menu:

Select the site identity option. That will let you upload an image of both your website logo as well as your Favicon. As you can see, a logo has yet to be uploaded in our example, but the Favicon has already been uploaded.

Congratulations! Now you know how to add your custom logo and Favicon to WordPress!
