Hi,
even though I have added a favicon to my site still it is not showing up in Google search results. It used to appear but I don’t know when did it go away. I just noticed today.
Please check the screenshots

hi there,
Check this:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/favicon-in-searchMind the rel attribute values.
Note: It’s up to Google when they’ll put your site’s favicon. It may take a few days or weeks if you just made the change.
It was appearing for good 12 months but suddenly it has gone?

Hi there,
check the sizes of your favicon images – one of them is stated as 50x50px – they need to be a multiple of 48px square – as noted in the doc that Elvin provided.
Hi David,
I am not sure why it sets 50×50. I have set my favicon by going to Customize > SiTE Identity.
and its size is 144×144

2. https://paste.pics/CL77Iand here’s the URL of the favicon image I am using.
https://spydrill.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/SD-favicon.pngI am not sure from where in Generatepress theme settings it is using 50×50 resolution. If you see next to it, it is using correct resolution.
Can you please provide a fix?
Any update? from where it is picking up a 50×50 sizE? As you can see the size next next to it is a multiple of 48.
As on my other sites using GP Premium, it doesn’t.
Sorry my bad – at first look i only saw the 50×50 image which is generated for touch devices.
I can’t see whats stopping the browser or google from interpretting the icon file… its there its not 404ing so there is no explainable reason for it.The best solution is to create a .ico file:
and upload it to the root of your wordpress site
Hi David,
So 50×50 is fine and I can keep it?
I noticed that there was an icon generated by Yoast SEO schema. In Yoast SEO settings I had set it as 32×32 version in “Yoast SEO > Search Appearance > Organization Logo”. Now I have changed it to the same favicon version.
If this doesn’t help then I will remove the icon from Yoast SEO settings altogether.
And if that also doesn’t work then I will go with .ico
Thanks!
Yes its fine to keep the 50×50 – its auto generated.
Try the other method if removing the Yoast icon doesn’t work.
sure, thanks!
You’re welcome
The favicon is still not appearing. I added .ico file a month ago….Can you please look into it and let me know what’s wrong?

I’m afraid I’m not sure why Google wouldn’t use the favicon – I’m not super familiar with their rules and when they do/don’t apply.
This might help?: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60153110
Hi David & Tom,
I have tried everything and waited too but Google isn’t picking up the favicon.
Any suggestions?
Best,
HemantI checked your site favicon vs the guidelines that Elvin provided and i see no issues there. Which is kinda expected as the favicon is displayed in the browser.
Have you tried requesting a reindex of the home page for the favicon ( see bottom of guideline doc ) ?
