In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] Cannot download JSON fileHi Anh,
Sorry for the issue.
The fact that you can download from this URL directly seems to show that the problem is from the hosting solution. Maybe they prevent plugins from accessing an external server.
I advice you to contact their support team and describe them the issue. The plugin tries to download a JSON file through
wp_remote_get. Note: all files are deleted from RealFaviconGenerator after a few hours. For example, the URL you gave in your message doesn’t work anymore. So if you give them this URL, warn them about this or they will come back to you saying “but your URL doesn’t work anyway”.If you get an answer, could you please paste it here? I’m always curious to know how hosting companies handle this kind of request.

In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] Uploading files in header.phpThe plugin is using a single hook to add the favicon code on the fly. It doesn’t modify anything so it can be deactivated or uninstalled safely.
No, the icon is not supposed to be blurry… It might come from the SVG format, I had a few troubles with this some time ago. Could you mail me the picture at contact@realfavicongenerator.net so I can review it?

In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] Uploading files in header.phpChanging
header.phpis the generic way, but if your theme’s support tells you otherwise, you should follow their advice!About the files location, you should put them in a dedicated directory. For example in
wp-content/upload/favicon(you’ll have to create this directory). One you know where the files will be, go to RealFaviconGenerator again and create your favicon one more time. But this time, in the Favicon options, indicate this path as the location (/wp-content/upload/faviconin this example). So the generated HTML will match the actual location of your files.Yep, you should probably unzip your favicon package on your PC and upload all the files to your site (one by one, really? I’m confident your FTP client can do better than this! 🙂 )
manifest.jsonandbrowserconfig.xmlare two extra files for Android Chrome and Internet Explorer 11, respectively. They both specify icons for these platforms.Don’t think I’m trying to sell you the plugin, but it would automate all this tedious installation process. Just saying 🙂

In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] Effect of WP 4.3 Site Icon on Plugin?Hi Julie,
The plugin is compatible with the upcoming Site Icon. Just make sure to not use the plugin and the site icon at the same time: else, there will be duplicated entries in the HTML of your site. So two solutions:
– Use the Site Icon (… and don’t install or active the plugin).
– Use the plugin (… and don’t define any site icon).Now, are the Site Icon and RealFaviconGenerator equivalent? Not really. The main difference is the design of the icon. Site Icon doesn’t let you decide of the design of the icon, it only give you a (good) overview of how the icon will look like on the home screen of an iOS device. Whereas RealFaviconGenerator provides the few design options that can turn a poor icon choice into a great icon. For example, the content of the original icon often “touches” the border of the picture. On iOS, this leads to poor result. Adding margins is a simple trick but it makes all the difference. This is the kind of stuff RealFaviconGenerator offers.
Now I didn’t investigated how RealFaviconGenerator’s plugin could somehow replace the Site Icon for people who would prefer this solution… (like, replacing the “Site Icon” section in the Customizer). That’s a TODO 🙂

In reply to: [Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator] Uploading files in header.phpHi Kustv,
First, let me promote the plugin. It’s very light. The code triggered in the public part of the site (… where you want plugins to be *fast*) is straightforward. So it probably won’t slow down your site. And it comes with a few advantages. Your favicon is preserved whenever you change your theme. Your favicon is updated automatically if something changes (think: iOS 9 will be released in a few months).
Alright, now I answer your question 🙂
You can generate your favicon manually by going to Real Favicon Generator<a/> and by following the instructions of the WordPress codex. Keep in mind that the favicon code will be dropped whenever you change your theme.
Does this help?
Regards,
