Continuing with my modest efforts to post some useful Thematic/WordPress snippets, here’s some code to provide favicons for WordPress sites using Thematic child themes. Simply add this code to your child theme’s functions.php page:
// Add favicons to the child theme
function childFavicons() { ?>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/favicon_16x16.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/favicon_32x32.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/favicon_64x64.png" />
<?php }
add_action('wp_head','childFavicons');
Here’s a variation to provide different favicons for two different versions of the same site, for example for staging and live sites:
// Add favicons to the child theme
function childFavicons() {
//detect if is live site
if (strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] == "www.domain.com"))
{ ?>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/favicon_16x16.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/favicon_32x32.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/favicon_64x64.png" />
<?php } elseif (strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] == "stg.domain.com"))
{ ?>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/stg_favicon_16x16.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/stg_favicon_32x32.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/wp-content/themes/childtheme/images/stg_favicon_64x64.png" />
<?php }
}
add_action('wp_head','childFavicons');
Should work OK – let me know in the comments if you have any probs.
