    I there! I've replaced all favicon files with my new favicon.ico file but I'm still seeing the "G" favicon. Any ideas on how to resolve??

    Have you cleared your browser's cache? I can see your favicon, so I'm guessing it's a caching issue.

    Depending on your browser it can sometimes take several hours for your Favicon to update. It should update within 24 hours.

    One tool I've found useful is this favicon generator: http://realfavicongenerator.net/

    I really like this tool as it generates everything for most devices Then use a hook such as:

    //* Favicon
    remove_action('genesis_meta', 'genesis_load_favicon');
    add_action('genesis_meta', 'trc_custom_favicon');
    function trc_custom_favicon() {
    	echo '<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-196x196.png" sizes="196x196">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-160x160.png" sizes="160x160">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-96x96.png" sizes="96x96">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32">
    <meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#2d89ef">
    <meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/mstile-144x144.png">';
    }

    It can take some time for the favicon to show up, but I do find that if I clear the cache in Chrome I can usually see it.
