After the recent update, my favicon disappeared. I've double checked to confirm it's uploaded in the vibe options header menu. It is also uploaded in appearance>customizer. I've also tried clearing the cache, launching incognito browser instances, and have tested browsers other than chrome (firefox, safari)

I replicated this issue on your site, i need your ftp credentials to resolve this issue.
PS: Mark reply as private while sharing the credentials.
my ftp is only accessible with a key, there are no login credentials.
Kindly, would you provide instructions for resolving the issue? I am very familiar with the system.
Thank you in advance

in that case, that's just a quick fix in the appearance editor. That's not an FTP change but rather a php code change I made while trying to look for solutions on the web before contacting support. Unfortunately that's not the root of the issue, and it will continue even after you adjust that wplms file back to it's original state using the login credentials I shared earlier
I made the change to WPLMS Parent Theme>includes>register.php
Line 80 & 81

function vibe_header_essentials(){
$favicon = vibe_get_option('favicon');
if(!isset($favicon))
$favicon = VIBE_URL.'/images/favicon.png';
$credits = vibe_get_option('credits');
echo '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="author" content="'.(isset($credits)?$credits:'vibethemes').'">';
if(!empty($favicon)){
echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.png" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.png" />';
}
}
Well , please undo the changes you done .
The code change you did is wrong and it wont render your favicon .
change this line :
echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.png" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.png" />';
back to this :
echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="'.$favicon.'" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="'.$favicon.'">';
fixed, and checked it again:

I've also cleared my cache, but the issue persists
Hello,
Yes this is found to be a bug. Created a card on trello, we will fix this bug in our future update. You can track this card :
https://trello.com/c/qgZeFrPz/1680-issue-favicon-not-visible-on-mobile-device
For now you can use any third party plugin to show favicon. Refer :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/favicon-by-realfavicongenerator/
Thanks, I was able to fix the favicon by installing the 'SSL insecure content' plugin & uploading the icon to the WP appearance customizer under "site identity"
.
