Required: Genesis Framework, Genesis Simple Hooks plugin
The favicon is the icon that appears in the browser bar and browser tabs when viewing your website. It also appears as the bookmark icon when a visitor bookmarks your website.
First, you will need a favicon file in the correct format. It must be exactly 16×16 pixels and named favicon.ico. Upload it to your Media Library and take note of the filepath. Follow the instructions for Removing the Default Genesis Favicon, if you have not already done so. Then find the text box for the genesis_meta Hook (it should be directly below the check box). Paste the following code in the text box, replacing the text FILEPATH with the filepath of the favicon you just uploaded. Then click Save Changes.
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="FILEPATH" type="image/x-icon" />
