This plugin adds the site icon option to Settings -> General.
If you disable or do not use the customizer, then you will have trouble updating the site icon. The site icon is used for favicons, and the new oEmbed feature. This plugin makes the site icon editable from the general settings page.
The plugin is a modified version of Jetpack\’s site-icon module.
Note: The plugin does not remove the ability to change the site icon from the customizer. It only adds another way to change the site icon.

Thanks for releasing this little gem!

Maybe an idea to promote this a bit more? The Customizer becomes more and more irritating, with 4.7 around the corner there's even the added CSS editor. The only useful thing in there is the site icon, so time to dump the entire thing and install your plugin!

Great

I found a nice theme but it didn't include the site icon settings in the Customizer. This plugin made it simple and easy to add a site icon without code. Thanks!

Works great in 4.7

Login site icon is a simple way to brand your site’s WordPress login screen. Rather than the WordPress mark, linked to WordPress.org, the site icon is used and linked to the site’s home page. The site icon is used rather than the logo theme feature because it is already a square image, and the login screen is designed to use a square image here. If you already have a site icon set up, this plugin will work automatically as soon as it’s activated.
Re-branding the login screen slightly can reduce confusion for users that have (or use) multiple WordPress sites, as well as improving contributor understanding for sites with a large number of contributors. Note that site icons must be square and that their primary purpose is to be used as browser and device icons. However, this plugin provides a convenient way to make use of the icon in another context.

Login Site Icon

There are so many login customization plugins that try to do too much. Login Site Icon does exactly what it says without all the clutter and overkill.

So Simple, So Perfect
