Well, it depends :-/

Normally, disabling the icon from your WordPress dashboard should remove the file. Else, it is not really disabled, as some browsers such as Internet Explorer looks for /favicon.ico by default.

Two possibilities:

• You are comfortable with WordPress and site administration: please, remove the extra favicon.ico at the root of your web site (ie. https://www.******.com.au/favicon.ico won’t work anymore). It has nothing to do here once you disabled it from WP dashboard.
• Else, leave this alone. The favicon you generated with RealFaviconGenerator (ie. the most recent, ie. the one you want) is explicitly declared in your pages, so browsers will pick this one, not the old one. So this issue is harmless.

Oh, and if you still see the old favicon in your browser, this is probably due to a caching issue. Big web development classic. Don’t mind it and just use another browser (one you normally don’t use) to visit your site and check which favicon is displayed.

No news is good news 🙂 If there is anything to discuss here, please re-open the issue!

Hi,

The favicon.ico at the root of your web site (ie. http://***/favicon.ico) is probably from:

• Another plugin
• Your WordPress theme
• Your hosting provider

I suggest you to browse your theme’s options, and disable its existing favicon if you can find it. If this fails, look at your other plugins in case you forgot you installed another “favicon” plugin long ago.

Please note that this issue should be rather harmless: browsers usually pick the declared icon (ie. https://***/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/favicon.ico) instead of the root icon (http://***/favicon.ico). Of course, it’s better to fix it!

Thank you for your review!

Thank you Johny!!

Thanks!!

Hey!

It seems to me that we fixed this together a while ago by email. Am I right?
