Add a favicon via WordPress theme functions file

Every blog deserves to have its own identity. You can add this identity by adding a favicon code in your themes header.php file,

or you can make it easier for yourself by simply adding the following code in your themes functions.php file.

// add a favicon to your Blog
function blog_favicon() {
echo '';
}
add_action('wp_head', 'blog_favicon');

Don’t forget to change yourwebsite.com to your own web address.

Now whenever you are developing the theme, just upload the .ico file in the root folder where the blog is uploaded. You can also modify the file destination if you like. Often theme developers forget to change the URL of the favicon. This can eliminate another worry.
