All In One Favicon

What it does: Adds a favicon to the site and the admin pages.

Why it’s listed: WordPress now includes a Site Icon setting, so most sites no longer need a plugin for this. Two public advisories are on record, both listed as fixed, and its latest reviews average 3.8 stars against 4.5 overall.

Is All In One Favicon still maintained?

It has gone over two years without an update.

Falling behind: WordPress or a service it relies on has moved on.

Placements are our opinion, based on public evidence. Risk here means a plugin may not get a fix if a problem appears. It doesn’t mean we found a flaw, unless we show an advisory. Going quiet alone never puts a plugin in Replace now.
