Favicon Rotator is a WordPress plugin that makes it incredibly simple to add favicons and touch icons to your site. Favicon Rotator has been tightly integrated into WordPress’ media library to allow you to upload and add a favicon to your site quickly and easily. If you know how to add an image to a post, you can add a favicon to your site with Favicon Rotator!
What’s in a name…
Favicon Rotator gets its name from its unique support for multiple icons. If you add more than one icon to the list, Favicon Rotator will rotate through the different icons, randomly displaying a different icon when a user visits your site. F-R-E-S-H
Highlights
- New: Add icon for Touch devices (Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, etc.)
- Simply point and click to add a favicon to your site
- Supports adding multiple icons, from which a randomly selected favicon will be displayed.
- Automatic icon conversion for large images (smaller files and faster loading)
Usage
- Install and Activate plugin
- Go to the Appearance > Favicon page from the administration menu
- Click the “Add new” button to upload or select icons to use from your media library
- Click the “x” button in the upper right-hand corner to remove any icons you no longer want in the rotation.
- Save changes and you’re done! The favicon(s) you’ve selected will now be displayed when someone visits your site.

July 31, 2012 – 6:15 pm@Mat: Favicon Rotator (FIR) currently supports touch icon dimensions of 114px x 114px, which are ideal for iPhones with Retina displays. If you upload larger images, FIR will generate an optimized icon at these dimensions.
A future update of FIR will support multiple icons and higher resolutions now that icon support is growing.

I have one more feature suggestion for the Plugin. Can I? It is possible to have the ability to display favicon of the blog when I am in dashboard? It could gives me better overview of my tabs when im working around the sites I handle.

August 3, 2012 – 6:39 am@Mat: Feedback is always welcome! Displaying the icon in the admin dashboard is definitely planned not least of all because it is something that I want for my sites as well.

March 4, 2013 – 8:15 pmMy issue is on http://www.refinethemind.com. I’m using the latest version of WordPress on my blog. I have many other plugins. Favicon is not displaying on Chrome or IE. Displays fine on Mozilla last time I checked. Any suggestions?
Sol
March 5, 2013 – 7:14 am@Jordon: Looks like your theme (Genesis) is loading a favicon of its own as well. This can cause issues in some browsers, so I would recommend removing the theme’s favicon.
Let me know how you get on.

March 5, 2013 – 9:06 amThanks for the prompt reply, Sol. I actually figured out how to load my favicon manually shortly after leaving that comment. As I don’t need the rotating feature, I no longer need your plugin. Thanks again. Keep doing what you do.

March 24, 2013 – 11:16 amThe favicon will not display for my website in any browser. I have both the browser and touch icon set. My theme is EvoLve by Theme4Press. Do you have any advice for me?
