How It Works
Frontend Behavior
When a visitor accesses a mapped domain:

- Checks if a custom favicon is configured for that mapping
- Outputs the custom favicon HTML tags
- Suppresses WordPress default site icon to prevent conflicts
Admin Interface
The plugin adds favicon management fields to each domain mapping:
- Integrates seamlessly with the existing Multiple Domain Mapping interface
- Provides intuitive upload and selection tools
- Shows preview of selected favicons
- Validates favicon URLs automatically
Button Functions
- Upload New (Blue) – Upload fresh favicon files from your computer
- Browse Media (Green) – Select from existing files in your media library
- Search by Name (Orange) – Find specific files by filename when media browser doesn’t show all files
- Convert URL (Purple) – Convert between base domain and mapped domain URLs
File Format Support
Supported favicon formats:
- .ico – Traditional favicon format
- .png – Modern format, recommended for most uses
- .svg – Scalable vector format

Recommended size: 16×16 or 32×32 pixels

FAQ
-
Do I need to configure favicons for every mapped domain?
-
No, only configure favicons for domains where you want a different favicon than the default WordPress site icon.
-
Can I use the same favicon for multiple mapped domains?
-
Yes, you can select the same favicon file for multiple domain mappings.
-
What happens if I don’t set a favicon for a mapped domain?
-
The WordPress default site icon will be used (if configured in Customizer Site Identity).
-
Can I use external favicon URLs?
-
Yes, you can manually enter any favicon URL. The plugin will validate that it loads correctly.
-
Will this work with CDN or external media storage?
-
Yes, as long as the favicon URLs are accessible from the browser, any URL will work.
-
The Convert URL feature says «no conversion needed» – what does this mean?
-
Make sure you’re entering a URL from a different domain than the target mapping. The plugin converts FROM base domain TO mapped domain.
-
My favicon isn’t showing on the frontend – what should I check?
-
- Clear browser cache (favicons are heavily cached)
- Check that the favicon URL is accessible
- Verify the file format is supported
- Ensure the domain mapping is working correctly
-
I see multiple favicons appearing – how do I fix this?
-
The plugin automatically removes WordPress default site icons. If you still see conflicts, check for favicon code in your theme or other plugins.
