In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] anything more to do after installation?What do you mean by “all settings to generate the favicon are stored” ?
I was already aware of the 120×120, 152×152 and 76×76 precomposed icons. It’s a TODO 🙂 https://github.com/RealFaviconGenerator/realfavicongenerator/issues/163

In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] Favicon on RSS Feed PagesHi Julie,
Thank you for your feeedback! I didn’t know the RSS clients could use
/favicon.ico.About putting the icon files in the root directory: this is already what the plugin does… well… tries to do. As you notice, it always puts the icons in a dedicated sub-directory. Then, if possible, it uses the Rewrite API to expose the icon files as if they were in the root directory (this is the technique WP uses to customize the post URLs). So you can often get your icon with
www.yourblog.com/favicon.ico. But not always, for some reasons. For example, many security plugins forbid it. So as of today, “RSS favicon available via /favicon.ico” is not advertisable, since it won’t work everywhere.The planned solution is to replace the recent “Site icon” feature of WP, which includes a dedicated RSS icon. I don’t know exactly how RSS works but I know the icon can be explicitly declared in the feed. This is the reliable solution.
Site icon replacement is a long due TODO. And because it’s not an easy task, I’m afraid that won’t be released before at least a few weeks.
Cheers!

There is one thing you can do: use the favicon checker to make sure your icons are setup correctly. The checker accesses your site like a regular visitor, so it gives a trustworthy feedback.
Yes, putting, files in root is still recommended, although this is a nice-to-have, not a huge must-have. This avoids the kind of errors you noticed with
apple-touch-icon-120x120-precomposed.png(okay, this file is not generated yet by RFG, but it will) and other icons.Actually the plugin does its best to follow this recommendation. After it puts icons in
/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg(eg.favicon.icois accessible atwww.example.com/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/favicon.ico), it uses the Rewrite API to expose all these files as if they were in the root directory (eg.favicon.icois also accessible viawww.example.com/favicon.ico). This is the mechanism WP uses to forge readable, customizable post URLs.However, this mechanism can fail for a number of reasons. For example, many security plugins forbid this operation. So RFG’s plugin is “best effort” here. And it doesn’t provide much information to the admin about this because my feeling is that this information would be more confusing than helpful.
But you can try it by yourself: does
www.yourbloghere.com/favicon.icoworks for you? If not, no worry, this is definitely not an issue, really.Forum: Reviews

In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] great, one complaintThank you for your feedback. Someday, support for Coast by Opera will be added. With 3 “Other platforms” tabs, I think the tab policy will be more relevant.
