Our analysis
AI-assistedcbnet Favicon is a WordPress plugin that allows you to add a favicon to your site by uploading an ICO, PNG, or GIF file. It provides a straightforward interface for configuration through the Dashboard under Settings. However, as of WordPress 4.3, the functionality of this plugin is integrated into the core site icon feature, making it largely redundant.
This plugin may still be of interest to users who are running older versions of WordPress or prefer a simple method for favicon management without additional features.
Best for: Users of older WordPress versions who want to manage favicons simply.
What it does well
- ✓Allows easy favicon upload
- ✓Supports ICO, PNG, and GIF file formats
- ✓Simple configuration via Dashboard
Where it falls short
- •No longer needed for WordPress 4.3 and above
- •Limited functionality as it lacks additional features
Verdict
While cbnet Favicon serves a specific purpose, its relevance has diminished due to integration into WordPress core features. It may still be useful for those not on the latest version.
From the developer
Chip Bennett's own description of cbnet Favicon, lightly tidied.
As of WordPress 4.3, this Plugin is no longer needed. The next update will integrate the Plugin into the core site icon feature, to allow for graceful
retirement of the Plugin.
Add a Favicon to your site. No bells or whistles; simply upload a (ICO, PNG, or GIF) file.
Note: Plugin settings can be configured via Dashboard -> Settings -> Favicon.
