Hi everyone, welcome to KeyTube blogging and in this video I will show you how you can
0:03
generate a favicon icon and change it in your WordPress website. So to generate the favicon icon you can use the favicon.io or you can use a website like Canva
0:15
So what is a favicon icon? Favicon icon basically the icon that we show in the URL bar and as you can see the favicon
0:24
icon of Canva is showing like this. And if I go to KeyTube blogging the favicon icon will show like this and in WordPress
0:32
by default you will get a WordPress icon like this. So we need to create our own favicon icon and replace it with the default one
0:42
So to create this you can click on the create design here in Canva and click on custom size
0:48
and you can select 512 into 512 size or you can select 1000 to 1000
0:56
So let me just select 512 and set the height to 512 and I will click on create new design
1:03
Ok a blank canvas is now added let me just search for something like logo and here you
1:12
can pick any one logo from here or you can search for some text like let me just search
1:19
for K and I will hit enter and let me just pick any icon from here so let me just pick
1:27
this and I will increase the size of the icon like this and here you can adjust the color
1:38
and here you can adjust the image. I have made a dedicated video on Canva so you can watch the video to learn more about Canva
1:47
Ok now we have created our favicon icon so I can simply type like favicon and I will
1:56
click on share and I will click on download and here you can simply download it as a png file
2:05
Ok now our image is downloaded to the computer let me just go to the file manager and I can
2:14
simply upload this image as a favicon icon. So I have already created the favicon icon and if you want to use the favicon.io website
2:23
then you can simply change your png to a favicon icon or change the text to an icon so let
2:30
me just select the text icon here and here you can select any text so let me just change
2:38
it to K and here you can adjust the font color font family and here it will generate
2:46
a favicon icon like this so let me just change the font family here to Lato and as you can
2:53
see the font family is changed so let me just change it again so let me select this one
3:02
and as you can see the favicon icon is generated and here you can simply download this favicon
3:08
icon. Now let's check how you can change the favicon icon in your WordPress website so to change
3:14
the favicon icon let's go to WordPress dashboard and under the appearance section click on
3:19
the customize button. Ok now we are in theme customizer here you have to click on the site identity option
3:27
here and as you can see I have already uploaded a favicon icon to this website so you can
3:33
click on change image or you can directly upload the image so as you can see this is
3:38
another website and here I am using the rishi theme and when I scroll down here you will
3:43
see this option site identity so these are the default WordPress menu that you will get
3:49
in every theme so just click on the site identity option and click on select site icon and as
3:55
you can see it has shown that you have to create a 512 into 512 pixel image so let me
4:01
just select this option select site icon and here I will upload the generated file
4:07
so I will upload the favicon icon here and I can set a alt text here and I will click
4:16
on select and as you can see the favicon is now added to our website so let me just click
4:24
on publish here and let me just go to the WordPress dashboard again as you can see the
4:29
favicon icon is already added to our URL bar and this is how simple to add a favicon
4:36
icon in WordPress you can either use the favicon.io website or you can directly use the canva
4:42
to create your favicon icon and if you still have any doubt regarding this then you can
