 * WordPress Newb so forgive me if this is silly, I hope it is an easy fix.
    I built
   my first wordpress theme (out of curiosity – in the past I’ve used Joomla/dreamweaver)
   and while I was looking through the admin interface saw a section (appearance
   >customize>site identity) were it looks like a user can set there favicon / site
   icon. What code do I need to insert into the header OR functions.php (currently
   only using this for header sizing and selection)to get this to work. Any clues/
   help will be greatly appreciated…

 * I may be wrong, but I’m guessing it may be in the wp head.
 * Add the code below in between the head tags of your template.
    `<?php wp_head();?
   >`
 * Add the code below in the footer.php file.
    `<?php wp_footer(); ?>`

 * Thank you; the <?php wp_head(); ?> is the ticket. I would have preferred code
   just for the site icon, but this makes me happier. Do you know what all the other
   code is for? wpemojisettings; the css and such that is also added.
 * guess it doesn’t matter pages are still responding as expected.

 * Same here I’d prefer just the certain codes that I need. But since those lines
   of code is part of the wp_head and wp_footer, I just leave it. I do know that
   the wp_footer adds in the admin bar on the top of your blog when you’re logged
   in. And the wp_head is for the site title and favicon.

 * learning I guess. I had never worked in WP until someone asked for some changes
   to a site. The structure is quite different from CMS’s I’ve used. So out of curiosity
   I took a simple dreamweaver fluid grid template I made some time age and went
   about modding it into WP. Like usual it ended up being the little things/quirks.
   It took awhile to get the admin header image controls to work properly (that’s
   the only thing I have in functions.php currently), but may add some color controls
   for the site also.
    Thank you for the help!
