wordpress site doesn’t show favicon, only wp default logo

  • Hey Guys!

    Few days ago I noticed that my site favicon isn’t displayer anymore within google search results.

    I have had my favicon for several years, and since the google started to display favicons, its always been shown on google search correctly.

    However the favicon is shown on browser tabs like it should, but on google search now it shows wordpress default logo instead my favicon.

    I’m using older Hueman theme on my site and so far the favicon was loaded through the theme options. However now that it was disappeared on google search I used the option to add the Site Icon through Appearance -> Customize -> Site Icon.

    Any ideas why this is gone? Just for info that I use also w3 total cache and autooptimize caching plugins. Just searched and there were some issues like that with caching plugins, however I have used those plugins and settings for several years and haven’t changed any settings there lately.

    I also think that can’t be google issue as the favicon isn’t completely disappeared, but just showing wordpress default icon somehow. Maybe if there isn’t any other option I can find the location of wordpress logo and overwrite it with my own favicon logo?

    Thanks in advance for any help resolving this issue.

    Please note, favicons are heavily cached by browsers for long duration.
    If in doubt – look at the HTML-code of your page

    Ok let’s assume that caching plugins may do that (not sure, as previously mentioned they haven’t done this before with the same settings on the same particular site), is there anything I can do, to not let cache the favicon?
