All In One Favicon adds favicons to your site and your admin pages.
You can either use favicons you already uploaded or use the builtin upload mechanism to upload a favicon to your WordPress installation.

All three favicon types are supported – .ico, .png and .gif (may be animated)
Also, Apple Touch Icons are supported.

Is your native language missing?
Translating the plugin is easy if you understand english and are fluent in another language.
I described in the FAQ how the translation works.

Upgrading From A Previous Version

To upgrade from a previous version of this plugin, use the built in update feature of WordPress or copy the files on top of the current installation.

Installing The Plugin

Either use the built in plugin installation feature of WordPress, or extract all files from the ZIP file, making sure to keep the file structure intact, and then upload it to /wp-content/plugins/.
Then just visit your admin area and activate the plugin. That’s it!

Configuring The Plugin

Go to the settings page and and upload your Favicon(s) or add the path/URL to already existing Favicon(s).

• Internet Explorer: Why does my favicon show up in the backend but not in the frontend or not at all?
  Internet Explorer behaves weird, not only when favicons are concerned. You may take a look at this
  FAQ.

• Why is All In One Favicon not available in my language?
  I speak German and English fluently, but unfortunately no other language well enough to do a translation.
  Would you like to help? Translating the plugin is easy if you understand English and are fluent in another language.

• How do I translate All In One Favicon?
  Take a look at the WordPress site and identify your language code:
  e.g. the language code for German is de_DE.

  1. download POEdit
  2. download All In One Favicon (from your FTP server or from WordPress.org)
  3. copy the file localization/aio-favicon-en_EN.po and rename it. (in this case aio-favicon-de_DE.po)
  4. open the file with POEdit.
  5. translate all strings. Things like {total} or %1$s mean that a value will be inserted later.
  6. The string that says “English translation by Arne …”, this is where you put your name, website (or email) and your language in. 😉
  7. (optional) Go to POEdit -> Catalog -> Settings and enter your name, email, language code etc
  8. Save the file. Now you will see two files, aio-favicon-de_DE.po and aio-favicon-de_DE.mo.
  9. Upload your files to your FTP server into the All In One Favicon directory (usually /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-favicon/)
  10. When you are sure that all translations are working correctly, send the po-file to me and I will put it into the next All In One Favicon version.
