Hi! The favicon of Streamwijzer is displayed in Google, but not in Bing. Even though we have uploaded it in the Theme Panel. What’s going wrong? Thank you for your help in advance. ➝ https://www.streamwijzer.nl/ and https://www.streamwijzer.be/

Warm regards,
Siebren

Hello,

Please check this topic https://wordpress.org/support/topic/favicon-not-showing-on-bing/
Also, on the homepage there’s an option Customize icon => https://www.screencast.com/t/I2uVvP4b -> Site identity -> Site icon -> Change image -> publish => https://www.screencast.com/t/lY9WEOZEj

Thank you!

Hi Anamaria, thank you for your response. I have uploaded the image in site identity. However, there is still one thing I wonder. The link you shared, stated that .ico is essential for Bing. But in the Theme Panel under favicon the Newspaper theme states ‘FAVICON. Optional – upload a favicon image (16 x 16px) .png’. So there it is essential to use .png in 16×16 dimensions. What to do now?

Warm regards,
Siebren

Hi,

Please use the favicon with extension .ico to work for Bing.

Thank you!

Hi, could you tell me why the text states that you should use .png then? Is there a disadvantage for the use of .ico?

Warm regards,

Hi Anamaria, when trying to upload a favicon with .ico at the end, the media library states that that is not possible. Is that correct?

Warm regards,
