- Automatic image resizing and format conversion
- Properly structured web app manifest generation
- Manages favicon tags and removes the default WordPress site-icon output; check for duplicate tags from themes or other plugins

Requirements and compatibility
- WordPress 5.0 was the original stated minimum. Test the plugin with your current WordPress version before using it on a live site.
- PHP 7.2 and GD were the original stated requirements, not a recommendation to use an outdated PHP release. Use a supported PHP version compatible with your WordPress installation and verify image generation on your server.
- Write permissions for the WordPress uploads directory
Data Handling
Favicon Fixer stores:
- One image in the WordPress media library
- Generated favicon files in the uploads directory, normally
/wp-content/uploads/favicons/ - Plugin settings in the WordPress options table
The icon-generation code processes images within the WordPress installation. Using the separate favicon checker linked below sends your site address to that external service.
