Un plugin fácil de configurar y que cumple con lo que dice su descripción. No hay que recurrir a recursos externos para tener el favicon del sitio instalado. Muy recomendado.

Busqué varios plugins que no hacían lo que prometían pero este en dos clicks me ayudó a configurar el favicon ya que desde "personalizar" no me servía. ¡Agradecido! Gracias chicos.

This is the best favicon plugin I've ever used. You can also load any favicon of optimal size manually, which is very important!
