Hello,
since one week im trying to remove an old favicon from my site. I´ve changed my complette site from http to https. That´s all o.k., but the old favicon is still called with the http. Thereby the browser got no “green lock”. I´ve changed all references for the favicon from http to https in the php files. In the Datebase i´ve also changed it in wp_options -> _transient_fullframe_favicon. With this changes i´ve got my green key. But on the next day this database entry has been changed back to the http. Now I´ve watched there else the favicon is called with the http. I think there is an autoload wich overwrittes the _transient_fullframe_favicon entry. I´m running fullframe Pro with an Child Theme called “Design” Now I´ve changed the http…favicon.png to https…favicon.png in wp_options ->theme_mods_Design. The result is that WordPress won´t access to the fullframe theme. Now my Question is: Where have i to do the changes, that the favicon will be durable called up with the https entry?
Sorry for my bad english. I hope anybody understod my probleme.

Thx a lot

Tobi

Hi @Tobias,
First thing, you should never manually edit the database options unless you are really sure of what you are doing. In most cases, you will end up destroying your site.

Favicon links are not hardcoded so it should not be calling http protocol on https. Can you tell me how you added the favicon and your site url so that I can check it.

Also, try removing the favicon from Theme options and add it via “Appearance=> Customize => Site Identity=> Site Icons” and let me know how this goes too.

Hi Pratik,
not editing the database manually is the first thing i´ve learned in this case.
Now it works. I simply overlooked the option in theme options -> icon options. I only canceled the favicon from Appearance=> Customize => Site Identity=> Site Icons. I think i must have set it anytimes in both kategories. Sometimes it´s so easy.
Big thanks to you Pratik! Great support.
