    hi
    i want people using safari in mac will see my favicon when they are adding my website to their safari favorites
    i’m specifically talking about those kind of safari favorite icons in this link
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12324495/safari-sample/Screen%20Shot%202016-06-19%20at%202.53.12%20PM.png

    ..if I understand correctly (?) I can achieve this by adding the following code to my homepage
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/path/to/my/icon/192X192.ico”>
    <link rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” href=”/path/to/my/icon.png”>

    ..whats the right way to do this? ..is there a better way than using code block element?

    Hey Doron,

    Favicons can be unloaded from Enfold > Theme optison > Favicon

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Best regards,

    I know that and already used it successfully
    But it’s only good for normal favicon
    Not for the kind of icons in safari favorites that I showed you in the screenshot
    It seems that they need to be defined differently
    Here’s the link to the screenshot again

    Hi,

    Please try adding this at the very end of your themes / child themes functions.php file:

    function blog_favicon() {
echo ' 	<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/path/to/my/icon/192X192.ico”>
 	<link rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” href=”/path/to/my/icon.png”>';
}
add_action('wp_head', 'blog_favicon');

    Best regards,
    Vinay

    o.k
    I added the code to the function.php
    and it seems to add the code to the page source code
    ..but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on safari browser when you add the site to your favorites
    maybe the code still missing something?

    Hi,

    I don’t use safari but according to their documentation it should be 

     	 	 	<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="icon.png"/>
 	 	 	<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="icon.png"/>
 	 	 	<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="icon.png"/>

    Please ref to this link for more info https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html

    hi!
    sorry it took me so long to replay
    i used the following code

    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-194x194.png" sizes="194x194">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-96x96.png" sizes="96x96">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/android-chrome-192x192.png" sizes="192x192">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16">
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#5bbad5">
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#da532c">
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/mstile-144x144.png">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">';

    I took it from the stackoverflow link you posted (and implanted it in the same technique using the function.php you showed me)
    probely ‘safari-pinned-tab.svg’ is the one that makes the difference but i didn’t want to take any chances so used the complete code
    http://realfavicongenerator.net/ is also very helpful for this issue
    anyway – it seems to work just like it should!
    so..problem solved, thank you very much!
