Hi,
I wonder why my favicon is not shown in search results? https://www.matochresebloggen.se/
– I have uploaded it in the theme panel in size 16 * 16
I don’t work here, but I’ve found over the years it’s always better to load the favicon in various sizes for Windows/Mac in the root of your domain, like where WordPress typically installed.
Tons of examples online, but this site is safe to read

Hi,
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, is there a reason that the place in the theme /themepanel / Logo and favicon – does not work?
I have now also added the logo as suggested (Site identity -> Site icon -> Change image -> publish ) – in 512*512 (that seems far to large for a favicon?).
I have no idea though how to get Google picking up the fav icoon from the site.
Hi,
Looks fine, but may be worth meeting this criteria on GS:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/favicon-in-search
Your favicon must be a multiple of 48px square, for example: 48x48px, 96x96px, 144x144px and so on.
Have you indexed your website via Google Search Console?
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, I have uploaded the site to GSC, but the logo is still not shown in search results. This is kind of a big issue and I really wonder why this does not work out of the box from the theme?
This is what Google suggests: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/favicon-in-search
Is there a way to solve this with the Newspaper theme?
Best regards Christian
Hi, i also found this site
https://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_checker?protocol=http&site=matochresebloggen.se
That found many errors. Does this help your tech team understand what is wrong and how I can solve this?
Best regards Christian
Hi,
A follow up question to this answer
“Looks fine, but may be worth meeting this criteria on GS:

– Where in the theme shall I upload all these different sizes? How shall they be named and organized? In all my other themes, this just works out of the box.
Best regards Christian
Hi,
Can you please advice how to uplaod more files sizes this to my domain? I have uploaded the 16*16 pixel in the theme. In the link above, from @simchris there is no instructions in how to upload and name these in the right way, just this info:
Browser favicons – 16×16
Taskbar shortcut icons – 32×32
Desktop shortcut icons – 96×96
Apple touch icons – 180×180
WordPress sizing – 512×512
It would be fantastic if a developer that knows the Newspaper theme can advice.
Best regards Christian
Where in the folder structure shall this folder be added, and is there naming I shall use?
Hi,
Please check this guide https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-favicon-to-your-wordpress-blog/
Also, you should know that it will take some time before it appears on Google.
Thank you!
Hi,
Is there a reason why you link to a guide that is not revelant to the newspaper theme? Should not the theme itself take care of the favicon?
Looking at the results in this page
https://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_checker?protocol=https&site=www.matochresebloggen.se%2F
I would really appreciate if you can tell me how to fix this with the actual theme i have.
Best regards Christian
My dear, you don’t have to do anything, leave it as it is
The favicon will not appear directly on Google pages
My advice to you is not to update your favicon every time, but rather leave it as it is for a period of time and it will appear without anything you do
