Simply upload your logo and generate a favicon
favicon-generator.org
Great — where do I upload it to though? (Sorry I’m really terrible at this stuff.)
generate your favicon and upload it to your current theme folder (example wp-content/themes/circa)
Go to your dashboard > Appearance > Editor
then navigate to Header.php from the right menu and add the following code <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.ico" /> below the <head> tag
I’d suggest avoiding modifying theme files – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated (unless you are using a child theme).
This plugin is great for adding a favicon:

Sorry not to mention that you will lose the changes after updating ur theme.. thanks to WPyogi
There’s no Editor section underneath Appearance for me, just says: Themes, Customize, Widgets, Menus, Header, Background, and Mobile. When I went to Header, there wasn’t anywhere to add text of any sort.
I also can’t download Plug-ins. I have no idea why.
Perhaps, because your site is on WordPress.COM? In that case, you are asking on the wrong forums – try here:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/
what you mean by you cant download plugins ??
Visit your dashboard then navigate to Plugins > Add New
Then Search for (Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator), then press on Install Now
WPyogi is right. I’m using wordpress.com. Didn’t realize there was a difference, especially because every time I search for help the only thing that comes up are these forums.
Thanks.
