Subject: Favicon not showing in Google SERP despite following all forum recommen

Hi, I am writing because I am unable to get my favicon to appear in Google search results (SERP), although it is correctly displayed on the browser tabs. Can you help me please?

I have already thoroughly searched the forum and followed all the suggestions provided in previous threads (such as #1486419, #1486479, and #1486399), but the issue persists.

Here is a detailed list of what I have already done:

Format & Conversion: I have converted the favicon from PNG to a proper .ico file using recommended tools (like favicon.io).

Root Directory: I have manually uploaded the favicon.ico file to the root directory of my server via FTP, as suggested by Mike, to ensure Google Bot can find it outside the /wp-content/uploads/ path.

Theme Settings: The favicon is correctly set in both Enfold Theme Options and via Appearance > Customize > Site Identity.

Code Injection: I have tried adding the manual tags to the functions.php of my child theme using the wp_head action to force the icon declaration: <link rel=”icon” href=”https://mysite.com/favicon.ico&#8221; type=”image/x-icon”>

Caching: I have cleared all server-side caches (Litespeed/Plugin), and I have requested a new crawl via Google Search Console.

Visibility: The favicon is visible when logged in, in incognito mode, and on various browsers, but Google still shows the default globe icon in search results.

Despite these steps, which have worked for other users in the past, my site has not updated in the SERP for several weeks.

Can i ask you if there is any Enfold-specific setting or a conflict in the header output that might be preventing Google Bot from correctly indexing the icon? (i heve the last updated theme and worpress).

Best regards,

Stefano
