Import/export

It would be great if an existing manifest/zip file could be imported – or also exported from this plugin.

Also the instruction “If the picture is on your hard drive, you can leave this field blank and upload the picture from RealFaviconGenerator.” is confusing, zip files aren’t accepted and RealFaviconGenerator generates more than just one image – and with art direction, too (margin, background color, shape, conturs, app name, etc).

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion.

You can pick a dedicated image for the various platforms. For example, if you have a particular image for iOS, look for the tab “Dedicated picture” in the iOS panel when you are on RealFaviconGenerator (not in your WordPress dashboard). Not exactly the “Zip import” feature, but I think this is what you are looking for.

Regarding the manifest, you are probably talking about manifest.json, aka Web App manifest, correct? Currently, the UI doesn’t let you import or export it. RealFaviconGenerator can deal with existing manifest (by appending its own fields, instead of creating a brand new file). But this is an advanced feature that is accessible only when you use tools such as Gulp or Grunt. I’m not sure this will be available any soon in the WordPress plugin, unless the manifest becomes widespread.

The reason for an import feature is that there is more than a single input image for RealFavicon generator: For art direction different images can be used, also the background/primary color, margins and some other options set.
These result in a variety of different output files.
Currently one has to re-enter and -upload everything on the RealFavicon website than just importing all required data.

Currently I am unable to transfer/migrate this RealFavicon plugin settings/data to another WordPress installation. /favicon.ico is just an empty page and no favicon is shown in browser. I tried out Updraft Plus backup+restore and direct database dump + rsync of uploads/ folder.

I must admit this kind of feature is not on the roadmap. RFG is expected to change heavily in the next few months, and these changes will make this feature more easily to integrate. However, I can’t promise anything yet, sorry 🙁
