Favicon – how do I replace one for another

[Tommyvincent]

I'm using the Genesis Framework v.2.2.5 and the Genesis Sample v.2.2.2. On my http://www.shapeyourface.com site the favicon is correct - YOURFACE. But on my http://www.hairloss-reversible.com site, instead of the YOURHAIR favicon being displayed I get the YOURFACE.

In the Media Library for hairloss-reversible.com I have the correct favicon. But it's labeled favicon1.ico. Could the "1" be a problem?

When I'm working on my website - http://www.hairloss.com/wp-admin, I see the right favicon, but when I go to my website online I see the YOURFACE icon. I did the uploading through Genesis/Upload Favicon. And of course I refreshed. There is probably an easy fix to this problem.

Hi Tommyvincent

It comes up fine for me. Perhaps, it's a caching issue.

Best always
Jon

I think the most stable way to use favicon's is using the 'site identity' option in the WordPress customizer. It is relatively new, but in my limited use with it, it seems to be a more stable way to change/add a favicon.
