favicon is not reflected before URL in google feed

[webreviewpro]

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report a critical issue I am facing with my WordPress website. Despite making updates to my favicon within the WordPress dashboard, the changes are not reflecting in Google’s search results or feed.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue as it is crucial for the accurate representation of my website in search results and feeds. If there are any server-level caching or configuration issues that need to be addressed, please let me know the steps to resolve them.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in resolving the issue.

Hey, I have the same problem. Have you been able to solve it?

I discovered the following in the Google Search Central documentation:

"Your favicon must be a multiple of 48px square, for example: 48x48px, 96x96px, 144x144px and so on. SVG files don't have a specific size. Any valid favicon format is supported."

However, in the currently generated files and markup, only 32x32 and 16x16 sizes are included.

I need to amend my earlier statement. Upon further review, I found that the generated file favicon.ico is, in fact, 48x48px. It is referenced in the generated markup with the following line:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

So this does not contribute to the solution.

You could probably double-check if the path to your referenced favicon.ico is correct.

I also have the same problem. I see on this site: https://www.gsqi.com/marketing-blog/favicon-problems-google-search/ That one issue they say can cause this: " the homepage had multiple rel=“icon” references and one didn’t meet Google’s guidelines. Fixing that by just having one rel=”icon” reference pointing at the proper file enabled the site to regain its favicon in the SERPs:"

realavicongenerator always puts in multiple rel="icon" links. I wonder if that is now an issue with getting the favicon displayed in Google search results
