For the basic\u00a0favicon.ico, you can\u00a0simply add this file to the \/images directory in your child theme. But, it\u2019s 2015 and there\u2019s a ton of devices using different sizes for their icons it\u2019s probably best to take advantage of those in the case someone saves the website to their home screen on their device.<\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d take some time to research and create a new workflow to solve the problem of my lack of icon usage.\u00a0Lately, I\u2019ve been using\u00a0Favic-o-matic<\/a> to bulk generate ALL the icons instead of saving them out one-by-one. I\u00a0also just spotted this one in the App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Filter: genesis_pre_load_favicon<\/h2>\n

View the code on Gist<\/a>.<\/div>\n
