iOS icons for ipad / Iphone

  • Hey i want to set an icon or “web clip” for my website, so it displays my logo when you add site to homescreen on ipad.

    I figured out the code i need to insert in the Root directory,

    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="your-custom-icon-for-iphone.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="your-custom-icon-for-ipad.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="your-custom-icon-for-iphone4.png" />

    BUT! i dont know where exactly where i have to insert it when im using wordpress.

    Hope anyone can help.

  • I put this code in the header.php within my active theme to test it out and it works perfectly on iPad and iPhone. I know the proper way to do this would be to make a child theme and put this code in a header.php file within the child theme, but for testing purposes this works.

    This is a good reference:

    It turns our there are apps for creating the icons at the appropriate resolutions. Search the app store. I did mine in photoshop.

    In addition this is the code I found to customize the description that the “add to home screen” button provides by default. I think this solution will only work with iOS6 or above. Also you are limited to 12 characters. Replace “short name” with your 12 character name for the home screen

    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="Short Name">

    This is where I found this code:
