    Hi Mike, Hi Ismael,

    I’m writing to give you some great news: the favicon is finally appearing correctly in the Google SERP!

    It took a few days after Mike’s last adjustments (setting the Site Icon in WordPress General Settings and the .ico file in Enfold Options), and the Google Bot has finally updated the snippet.

    Thank you so, so much for your top professional support, your patience, and for taking the time to log in and fix the settings manually. It made all the difference!!!.

    You can now close this thread.

    Best regards, Stefano (jodys1976)

    Hi Mike,

    Thank you for looking into this and for making those adjustments in both the WordPress General Settings and the Enfold Theme Options.
    I will go ahead and request a crawl via Google Search Console now. I’ll keep an eye on it over the next few days and let you know if the favicon updates as expected.

    Best regards, Jodys

    Hi Ismael, Even after uploading a 512px PNG and clearing all server caches, the output remains stuck at 96x96px. Maybe the theme is filtering the apple-touch-icon size.

    Google requires a higher resolution (at least 144×144 or 180×180) to show the icon in SERPs. Since Enfold is downscaling it, can you provide please the specific filter to disable this automatic resizing in the theme’s header?

    Best regards, Stefano”

    Below the report: realfavicongenerator.net

    Classic and SVG favicon
    There is no SVG favicon

    There is no 96×96 desktop PNG favicon

    An implicit ICO favicon is found at /favicon.ico

    ICO favicon found

    The ICO favicon has the expected sizes (16×16, 32×32, 48×48)

    Hi Ismael,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    I followed your advice: I have completely removed the custom code and I am now using only the Enfold Theme Options field with a 512x512px PNG file.

    Regarding your question: I have tried using a standard .ico file in the past, but the result was the same. As you noticed, the icon is visible in browser tabs and detected by validators, but it still fails to appear correctly in Google Search results (where the default WordPress globe icon is often shown instead).

    You mentioned that you found some markups not generated by the theme that might be conflicting. Hoping this helps more people here on the forum, could you please point out which specific lines of code or which files/plugins are generating these markups? This would be extremely helpful so I can remove them and leave only the theme’s default favicon output.

    I want to make sure the site’s head is “clean” to allow Google to crawl the correct icon.

    Best regards, Jody

    Hi Ismael,

    I am writing to update you on the situation. Unfortunately, even after following your last suggestion (removing the custom code and using only the Enfold Theme Options field with a 512x512px PNG), the favicon is still not appearing in the Google SERP.

    It has been two weeks since the last change, and I have also requested a fresh indexing via Google Search Console, but the default globe icon remains.

    Since I have already:

    Used the Enfold built-in favicon field.

    Verified that the file is accessible in the root directory.

    Cleared all caches (Litespeed and server-side).

    Checked that the site is correctly validated by external favicon checkers.

    Is there anything else we can check? Could there be a specific meta tag generated by the theme that might be conflicting, or perhaps a suggestion on how to make the favicon “more attractive” specifically for the Google Bot crawler?

    I would really appreciate any further technical insight you might have.

    Best regards, Stefano

    Hi Ismael,

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have followed your instructions: I removed the custom code from wp_head and uploaded the png 512×512 favicon directly through the Enfold > Theme Options field.

    I understand it might take some time for Google to crawl the site and update the SERP. I will monitor the situation over the next few days and let you know if it’s resolved.

    Happy holidays to you too! Best regards

    Hi Guenni007, thank you so much for the heads-up! I’ve just added both entries via wp_head as you suggested. I’ll update the topic! Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas
