Hey guys, I have problems setting up a favicon for the google search bar.
For some reason it doesnt work and I’ve tried a lot of things. Even tried another SEO Plugin.
My Robots.txt is
# START YOAST BLOCK
# —————————
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap_index.xml
# —————————
# END YOAST BLOCK
The Favicon on the Taskbar works perfectly fine.
Any ideas what I could have done wrong?

The favicon isn’t handled by Yoast. Can you try real https://realfavicongenerator DOT net ?
They have a WordPress plugin; although I prefer to upload the generated favicons to the site root and add the favicon tags to the site head via a small theme function.
I think you might be trying to set it in the wrong place. Since you’re already using Yoast, here are their instructions for setting your favicon: [https://yoast.com/how-to-change-your-favicon-in-wordpress-a-step-by-step-guide/](https://yoast.com/how-to-change-your-favicon-in-wordpress-a-step-by-step-guide/)
When did you set it? Note that changes you make on your site aren’t reflected on Google instantly – it can take weeks to update in Google.
