About two weeks ago, I wrote about a tip I came across at Simply Basic about how to add a favicon to your WordPress admin by adding a snippet of code to wp-admin/admin-header.php. As you probably have noticed, the WordPress admin doesn’t display a favicon on the address bar, which can be a bit inconvenient when you are working with many open tabs, and you want to quickly see which is which. But hacking the admin means you need to remember to add the code again every time you upgrade.  I hinted that a WordPress plugin would be in order here to avoid that inconvenience.

Will, John at Simply Basic took the hint and created the Admin Favicon WordPress plugin that allows you to easily place the favicon of your choice in the WordPress admin!

Thanks John! People like you are what makes WordPress so great.

Admin Favicon WordPress Plugin

The WordPress admin doesn’t have a favicon. That means that when you’re working with a bunch of tabs open, it’s hard to identify which one is for your WordPress admin. Well, Simply Basic has the solution – simply add one line to wp-admin/admin-header.php that calls the favicon of your choice:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/favicon.ico" >

The only drawback is that you have to remember to redo this change every time you upgrade. It might be helpful if there was a plugin that did this for you (hint, hint).
