Thank you very much! I wish I had just half of Trump fortune 🙂

Mais de rien! Merci à vous 🙂

What do you mean by “frequently visited”? The regular icon that appear in the desktop browsers tabs? If so, this may be due to a caching issue: your browser still shows the old icon, despite of the fact that you updated it.

You posted this message long ago (sorry…), do you still have the issue?

Hi,

Thank you for reporting! Although making short_name short makes a lot of sense (!), I was not aware of this particular check.

I have submitted https://github.com/RealFaviconGenerator/realfavicongenerator/issues/333

Cheers,

Site Icon and RFG plugin are two distinct features. Although they live together just nicely, they are just doing the same job. RFG is more complete and gives you a better control over what’s going on, while Site Icon has the merit to be a built-in feature. The choice is up to you.

There was a project for RFG plugin to replace the Site Icon, in order to provide the best experience to WP admins. However, I don’t have the time to work on this 🙁

Thank you!!

Hi,

Long story short: you can ignore this issue.

This is due to an Apple convention: iOS Safari asks for these files no matter what. However, it also considers icons that are declared in your HTML pages, which the plugin does. So in the end, your visitors will get your high resolution touch icon, despite of these troublesome 404 in your logs.

If you really want to get rid of this issue (404 are soooo annoying 🙂 ):

• Make sure the plugin has access to the WordPress Rewrite API. To check this, simply access http://www.your-site-url.com/apple-touch-icon.png. If you get the icon for iOS, perfect, go on with the second step. Else, you probably have a security plugin that messes with the Rewrite API and you should give up, really. Nothing wrong with this.
• Generate the favicon agin. This time, in the iOS panel, click the Assets tab and check everything. RealFaviconGenerator will create all icons and make them appear as if they were in the root directory of your site (so /apple-touch-icon-120×120-precomposed.png now exists).
