—————————- Description: —————————-
This plugin is based off of code from John Kolbert and his plugin, Admin Favicon. While that plugin sticks a favicon only into the admin pages, this plugin was designed so that it would stick a favicon on every blog and every administrative page. Consider it basically a Site-Wide Favicon. It’s useful for community sites that want to apply a favicon sitewide. As of now, unfortunately you need to manually enter the location of the favicon. Soon there will be an admin interface set up for it.

How do I “4. Edit the uploaded plugin file” and where do I embed the location of my favicon please?
Just to check, Tim, were you able to get this working now?
Hey Tim, you should see 1 line that begins with echo ‘ and then has an In between those two “” is where you insert the code!

I should just like to add, that this is an English blog. I would appreciate the comments be posted in English please!
All SPAM in multiple languages has been removed.
Does it also work in WP 3.01?
It should work fine as far as I know.
Thank you so much for this plugin. I have used the latest WordPress version 3.0 to create a multi-site (bravely using an existing sub-folder as opposed to unnecessary sub-domain option), firstly pulling in (importing) two of my existing blogs. To cut a long story short… it has been quite an experience and I'm proud of having got where I am so far in just under 2 days! Getting the favicons to show up on all the multi-site blogs was one of my problems… which you have solved with your plugin. I prefer hard coding to using too many plugins, however I've arrived at the stage where I can't spend too much more time on getting the site(s) up and running satisfactorily. I still have a couple of other niggly things to sort out, however I'm so pleased that this new version of WordPress does now offer the multi-site option. It's also given me the chance to do some 'spring-cleaning' of my Feedburner feeds;Google AdSense, Technorati, etc. outdated information that I had neglected for quite a while. I will give your plugin a plug on my "WordPress Education" blog (http://www.miryamstenger.com/wordpress/wordpresseducation/).
Congratulations!! That does sound very, very impressive! Glad that my favicon plugin is still compatible with WordPress 3.0.1. I was worried that the latest (3.0) architecture had broken compatibility but I am quite glad that it didn't break!!
Cool! Thanks for the plug!!
Hi, I too have a WordPress 3.0.1 website with blog and installed your MU Favicon plug-in. I am a novice however and do not know how to complete the last step and what specific code should be input and where. The final step: Edit the uploaded plugin file with the location of the the favicon — is where I'm stuck. I've verified in my website hosting account that the php file is there and plug-in looks like it installed correctly in my administrative panel, so what next? Would appreciate the help. Thanks.
Hi,
You need to have uploaded a favicon.ico file to a web viewable directory on your server. I recommend using the WordPress media upload to do that. Then you need to open the wordpressmu-favicon.php file in a text editor and edit this line:
echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://idwellness.org/wp-content/bp-themes/facebuddy-home-theme/favicon.ico" />';
with the actual path to the favicon.ico file.
Hope that helps.
Thank you – it worked like a charm and loaded the favicon instantly! Thank you for your time.
No problem! I'm glad it worked out for you!
I like the idea of a sitewide favicon, but I have a question: can I override individual sites with their own favicon by placing their favicon in the theme folder and somehow looking for that first (see if it exists) before using the sitewide as 'default' if a favicon doesn't exist?
This is because some clients want their own favicon, but I'd like to use mine as 'default', and also as admin favicon for all multisite sites.
Thanks.
Thatβs actually a very interesting question and actually requires a somewhat complicated answer. To put it simply, no, the plug does not currently have that ability mainly because of the fact that it was never designed with anything more than a simple sitewide favicon. As Iβm sure you have noticed, the plugin is so simple that it requires manually filling the path to the favicon directly into its php file. My eventual plan for the plugin was to create an administration page for it that would allow users to enter the full path to the favicon icon from within WordPress. The goal would be one sitewide favicon that the site admin could enter which would be overridden for individual blogs by specifying that through an administration page on that particular blog (this would be an option that applied per blog). Honestly, I have been busy and havenβt actually looked into implementing this functionality for about 15 months. Since you have brought it up, and are requesting the feature, it is something that I will take another look at. I do still have all of my notes and the heavily modified version of the plugin that I had started implementing this functionality into. If I had to give a timeline, I would be willing to say that I think there could be some significant changes within the next month (before New Year).I hope that answers your question properly and if not please let me know.
That would be great. Please let me know if you release an update.
Ideally it would support override of favicon at the site level by entering a path in the admin, but allow to keep my default favicon for admin side for all my customers.
There are some existing plugins that allow you to put a path to a site favicon (at the site level), and some that allow to put a path to an admin favicon (at the site level), but none that do both for sitewide and yet still let you override per site.
Thanks.
I worked a little on it today. I believe the changes I made today should allow it to accept a standard value from the Administration menus, but it has no support for the global option. If you are interested, it is tagged as 2.0-alpha-2. I would appreciate any feedback if you feel like giving it.Thanks!
