    I did this already. However it is new according to Google that they show a favicon in the search results. Google says I have to add a code to the header:

    Add a <link> tag to the header of your home page with the following syntax:

    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/path/to/favicon.ico”>
    rel
    Can be any of the following strings:
    “shortcut icon”
    “icon”
    “apple-touch-icon”
    “apple-touch-icon-precomposed”
    href
    The URL of the favicon. Can be a relative path (/smile.ico) or absolute path (https://example.com/smile.ico), but must be in the same domain as the home page.

    HOW CAN I ADD A CODE TO THE HEADER`?

    Hello,

    Google and all the search engines index and reindex pages with some period which can take 2 or more weeks, please give time to the search engines. Such a suggestion is applied when your site is not based on the WordPress engine.

    Best Regards
