Hi,
I can see that your favicon has a .png extension, and it should be .ico.
Please, use the following website: https://realfavicongenerator.net/, and change it to be .ico.
Thanks
Hi,
I used the website and did everything they told me. When I check it through them, everything seems fine, but the Favicon still does not show up in Google Search.
Within the Betheme Settings, I cannot put an .ico extension, since WordPress won't let me upload that. Up until recently the Favicon showed fine (with a PNG extension).
How do I proceed from here?
Kind regards
Please, install and activate Disable Real MIME Check plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-real-mime-check/.
After that, you should be able to update .ico files to your WP and replace your favicon in the settings.
Thanks
I just did that, but it hasn't resolved the problem. The favicon is fine everywhere else (e.g. in the browser, when I go to https://www.leukebordspellen.nl/favicon.ico I see it correctly), but in Google Search it keeps showing the default WP logo on mobile (I asked someone else to confirm it for me as well, so it's not just my browser that has cached it).
It sometimes takes some time for Google to update the favicon.
However, please, check the following link:

It shows up again, thanks for the help!
