Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Dev Favicon Switcher

No. The plugin only overrides the favicon URL dynamically when it detects that you are accessing the site via one of your configured development URLs (or auto-detected extensions). Your live site will continue to load its normal configured site icon.

If enabled, the plugin checks your current domain. If it ends with .local, .test, or .dev, it automatically considers the environment a development one and switches the favicon.

You can simply click the "Restore Default" button in the settings, and the plugin will apply a built-in default development favicon for you.

Yes! When you upload or select a new development favicon from the media library, the plugin provides a cropping tool just like the native WordPress Site Icon feature.
