 * I had installed this some weeks ago and everything was working great. One day
   I noticed I started seeing favicon 404 errors again. I’ve tried everything I 
   can think of, including un- and re-installing the plugin. When I use the Checker
   I get the error “….returned a server error. Make sure the site is up and running.”
   The site is up and running.

 * Hi,
 * About the 404 error: do you know which URL was concerned? Some of them are harmless,
   although annoying. For example `/favicon.ico` is a classic and sometimes the 
   plugin cannot fix this depending of your hosting environment.
 * About the checker error: this can happen for several reasons. Could you give 
   me its address for review?
 * Regards,
    Philippe

 * Recently another plugin “Redirection” kind of freaked out on me and I had to 
   change my web address to https from http, but I didn’t go through the process
   of creating a certificate. If I change it back that plugin doesn’t work. Haven’t
   had time to investigate that further. It was really nice to not have all those
   404 errors for awhile. I realize that the real problem may with that plugin and
   not with Favicon… or something else completely!!!!
 * Here are some of the favicon 404 errors I’m seeing. Looks like it’s only Apple
   being affected:

 * Hi,
 * The affected Apple Touch icon URLs are “normal”, though frustrating. This is 
   because Apple defined theses URLs by convention. In other words, any iOS device
   might try to access [https://981kze.com/apple-touch-icon-120×120-precomposed.png](https://981kze.com/apple-touch-icon-120×120-precomposed.png)
   and use this image if there is one.
 * Solutions:
    - Recommended: Ignore the issue, really. Nearly all web sites live with this.
    - To get rid of the issue, generate your favicon again. This time, while editing
      the icon for iOS, go to the Assets tab and check everything (all sizes and
      precomposed icons). For this solution to work, your site needs to support 
      the WordPress Rewrite API (it apparently does not for the moment). This is
      overkill for such harmless issue, this is why I _don’t_ recommend doing this.
 * I hope this helps!

    Philippe

 * Sounds good. Thanks for the reply. This doesn’t make my website vulnerable to
   hackers, does it? I’ve noticed a couple bots who’ve picked up on those 404s.
