Step 2 - Upload Favicon
After you made your favicon, you must upload it to your website. In most themes, you have an customization option, which allows you to easily upload and add the favicon to your website.
In case, your theme doesn't have this option then you must add some extra coding to your website. For this, first upload your image to the media section. Afterward, grab your image's URL and insert it inside of the following coding:
link rel="shortcut icon" href="your imageURL here" type="image/x-icon"
Also don't forget to start and close the coding line with brackets.
Afterward, go to the header.php file from your website. In that file, insert the coding right below the head section, and update the file. Congratulations! You should now have a favicon appearing!
